New car rant

Civic,
Just bought a cream puff 83 with 54,000 miles on it off my little old neighbor lady.
Should have left it sitting in her garage.
The inspection sticker was 6 years dead, parts are a sob to get, you have to order everything, but being garage kept all it’s life it is rust free.

I bought it to give to one of my kids, as soon as I get all the issues fixed, I think I am going to sell it.

Yeah sell it. I have known people buying into civic models prior to 1988 and would have warned you. 1988-91 are very similar (except 91 has seat belts starting from the doors) and 92-96 are similar-but tiny space to work. 88-91 has plenty of space but SOME parts are becoming very difficult.
