Okay, I got a 92 civic cx hb and I was thinking, would it be better to start working on the exterior or the engine first.

Honestly I would like speed and a little bit of looks. But money is short. I got suspensions coming in a few days. I just cant seem to find a motor for the right price.

Its all up to you. Your car.

I spent 2 years with an auto D series with CF hood, exhaust, etc. before swapping it.

If i was you i would put a good alarm and anti theft system before anything then body because the motor takes time and research, you have to see what you want in it.
