I'm not making any progress on my project, and it's just taking up space in the garage at this point.. Figured I'd post it here before it gets parted out, or goes to craigslist.
The car is Non-Running, is complete though, even includes a fuel injected engine to swap into the car, headers, roof rack, and other misc spares. I'll throw in a set of bmw 4x100 rims as well, though the centers of the bmw rims need to be opened up to fit on the civic.
The car ran when parked at where I bought it, the previous owner parked it because it would over heat twice on his way to work, and twice on the way home. He kept driving it though when it would only over heat once on the way to and from work.
I pulled the hood, fenders, started pulling bumper, with the goal of pulling the engine and doing a straight swap on it. The swap is well documented at red pepper racing.
The interior is clean, and can comfortably sit a 6'6" adult up front. There is very little rust on the car. The only rust I've found so far, is along the drivers side door rubber, that goes horizontally along the exterior of the door, I think you would call it a molding. Otherwise the complete underside has been coated with stone guard or something similar.
RT4WD, this system is like any of the awd systems honda used in the CRV up until 98 or so. If one of the front wheels slips, then the back wheels kick in. The exception being that this system is much beefier then the CRV's system.
The engine that comes with the car is either a brown top or black top, and will be a direct swap, you'll have to figure out the fuel pump situation though, most common is to install a 88+ rt4wd gas tank.

On the day I bought it:
This is were it currently sits, surrounded by drywall, tools, etc.
