Hi folks, I'm new here and I have a question for you guys. But first I will give you all the info I have on the vehicle.
Its an 88 civic wagon
Its a 1.5 liter with auto
It has a very straight body and a fairly clean interior I think it has a blown head gasket because there is water in the oil and the previous owner said it has a water leak and has ran hot several times. I bought the car for fifty bucks.
The questions are, what would you guys do here? I don't know anything about these cars and I would like to use it as a daily driver but I would also
like to have a little fun with it. If this engine can be salvaged, is it worth it? If not, is there a fairly easy and inexpensive replacement? I would like to keep the cost as low as possible but I am also wondering what engine and trans would give me a good after market. I don't plan on racing this car at all but if it goes faster than stock that would be nice. Thanks guys.
