That's a nice car. I think I might give the guy a call just to chat with him about everything he's done to it.

Too bad I don't have the money.

With all that extra body work it no longer looking like a beautiful sexy Gen 1. It looks too bloated with middle age spread. At least it has a good paint job.

Certainly nothing much has been on the performance side. It's still in Civic territory in spite of the tires.

At that price I would rate it 4.5 out of 10.

Yeah, nice except for the fat body kit. I think those make the first gen's look like crap. Just my opinion. The interior looks pretty good.

I don't know...there really isn't anything special done to the inside or out...you could buy that kit and install and paint it for really cheap...that motor although very clean is definitly not the cleanest I've seen...and for that price I was at least expecting it to be turboed...I saw a completely restored FD a couple of months ago in a titanium grey with the inside all done out and 19's for $8000...mind you it was missing the engine...but if I was going to spend the money that would be where I'd spend it...

IMHO, it is a nice looking car except for the missing line on the front fender...If they filled in the line on the door or extended it from front to back it would look better.
(the door looks out of place)

The situation is he spent $12,000 on the car since he bought it some years ago, and calculates these days it would cost $20,000 to do the same work.

The price asked is $6,875 which in reality is the 'start of the negotiation' price. Thus, he fully realized that he would not get the cost back, It's a loss of over $5,000.

Awesome car, at first I was also hesitant of the huge widebody kit, but when I got mine I fell in love with it. I do agree though you need some huge supporting engine modifications though in order to not be all looks and no performance. With a TII swap this thing would own, looks like a nice car!
