Hey guys.

Looking forward to getting to know other honda enthusiasts, today i am 19 and just got my hands on my very first car which is a 1990 honda civic GL hatch, right now the car has a dead battery and a dead motor, needs some work done in the suspension area and a new muffler to become roadworthy as-far as i know, looking forward to this little project.

yer it is the original one, my dads best friend from school has had the car since 1991 (1 year old) and he is the kinda guy that has never had that much money, so therefor looks after his stuff very well, plus he doesn't have that destructive personality to him, so it has general ware like a rip on the driverside top trim of the door, has duct tape over it atm, but in general it is a good car, nice straight body. Roof has sun damaged paint. But that will just add some painting experience. So i guess what im saying is the car has some history, not just a random civic ive picked up. are light and bonnet protectors a rare find or something?
