Wot you planning to use the car for?? Daily run??? or project car???

If its daily run, consider it.. but if your going to modify it.. dont even consider it...you wanna work with something with a straight body if you plan to mod.

you can pick up a perfectly fine EK with $5k, especially if Km's on it does not matter since its a project car.

Remember, Honda's are good cars if they have been looked after if they haven't expect to spend alot of $$$$

it will be hard to sell even after you've put in your project into it.
better off getting a prper shell to start with.
