I Just bought a 1989 Honda Civic LX and I love the body style so I figured what the hell I'll fix this thing up, but i dont know were to begin, and when i say fix up i meen all out, exterior, interior, the egine, exhaust the whole 9 yards. plz help i could use some advice.

If you are going to go all out you need to make a list of everything you want to do. Do one thing at a time and then cross it off the list. If you start to do too many tasks at once it may get overwhelmed. Focus on one job at a time and you should have no probs.

Thanks... the first thing i want to do is start with the engine but i dont know if i should swap engines or just rebuild it. it would be cheeper to just rebuild it but i dont know if it would be worth it.

It depends on how far you want to go with your engine, if you dont want any forced induction or spray, I wouldn't worry about it. But if you want to get serious I would swap. The time and effort it takes to remove and rebuild that engine you could have a new one in there. But prioritize a written list of things you want to do with the engine and go from there.

one of the easiest things to do also is to do a search...many informative threads in this section of AF...if you can't find what you're looking for then i'll be glad to help and if you have more questions after you do a search, still be glad to help

Although it is very expensive, it would be nice to see an h22 in there. Just my $0.02
