My name is andrew, I just picked up a 93 Hatch STD 5spd. for $1,150 with 186K miles.
The good: mechanically drives perfectly, came with 16 inch rims.
The bad: lots of scratches, a dent, one turn signal lens is cracked, 1 running light on the back is cracked, seats had a tear, creaks when you open passenger door, shift boot is torn, one of the things holding passenger seat in place rusted completely off. Dirty as hell
Front rims I cleaned the spokes, rears didn't
So far I replaced my front seats with other stock seats that I got for free.
Plans: $2000 budget for car + modifications.
Car: $1,150
Sell rims(400-500)
Sub total - $650
