My wife has a 90 Civic CX and just bought a new car. We put this up on craigslist for $900 and I got flooded with replies! It got me thinking on whether I should maybe keep it and do some work on it as I do love these style Civics when done up, I think they look awesome. The model she has is very basic though so to get it to be looking and feeling what i'd like, I'm not sure if this is possible. I'm looking for opinions based on what I'd like to do as to whether the parts to do this are available and affordable. The real gem with this car is the engine, it only has 128km. Below is my wish list for it along with some pics of it attached and an example of how i'd love to get it looking. I'd love some opinions from guys who know a lot about these cars and if this is worth my time, effort and money

- CV axle needs repair, quoted $700 I think, wondering how much/easy this is to do myself?
- Hit a pole on the front right fender and door. Fender would need replacement or repair, possibly the door too along with the black plastic strip that runs along the side.
- Rear reflector, how available are the red reflectors?
- Front and rear bumpers, are there any different styles of these as opposed to the very basic black ones her car currently has? Again easy to come by or not?
- Power steering, as much as I like the feel of the steering when driving this doing some speed, practically speaking it's a real pain in the ass to city drive, can power steering be installed easily?
- Interior centre console, currently there is just the gear stick and e-brake-hand brake, I imagine higher models came with a centre console that encases them?
- Interior seats, currently its a fake leather, but i'd prefer fabric seats with the holed out head rests on the front seats
- Re-spray in black
- New rims
- Window tints
- Lower the suspension
- Any other nice recommended mods I should consider
I'd love some advice on whether or not people think this is worth a go at or if I should just sell the old girl.
