For $300 with alttle over 165k miles I was happy. Found her on craigslist with title solid civic with knocking motor lol. I thought man sounds great she ran up until I loaded her on the car trailer then the motor locked up (perfect timing because I REALLY didn't want to push it on) So for the time being without me getting it on my lift till I finish piecing my swap together I need a
1. Hood
2. Left front door
3.left front fender (all of these were damaged by the owners friend who thought he was scrapping it. So he decided to use a claw hammer to give it character. SMH
4. Headliner is hanging (may get it done in black with matching carpet)
5. Motor (RELIABLE N/A GSR)
Here is the first of many updates. Picked this up from Craigs

I have it all broken down for the machine shop.
I plan to do new valves, and new valve train.
Anyone have suggestions? recommendations? I was looking at Supertech, but after further research they seem to fail a bit more then others.
