 Posted: Sat Jul 08, 2006 6:46 pm Post subject: Traded beat down civic for 62 ragtop |
 |
|
| This car has been parked down my block for awhile now but never bothered to ask if it was for sale, It never moved and Its been sitting for so long the front 135s were flat. One day i drove by and told my girlfriend i want to get a ragtop like that one and she says to ask if its for sale, so I went to the door and he said ya but im looking for a car for work, I offered him my sisters salvaged 92 civic he looked at it and said ok lets do it. I thought I was dreaming he signed the pink and said thanks. So I guess my sister has to drive my truck for now but I dont care. I found receipts of the motor being rebuilt last january and the motor does look new, It has no rust and is very complete. Ill post some pics soon, keep in mind the civic was salvaged and needed tons of work. Lets hear some other crazy trades.!! |

Looks like a good trade. Hows the pan, any rust issues?

NO rust at all o.g pan but has aftermarket fenders, those are getting replaced with o.g ones though, those aftermarket ones dent up so easy plus they look like shit |

I was going through you gallery pics and did you buy a 64 from some guy named Jose, my friend bought that car but gave it back because it had a salvaged title. And even though it has a ugly primer job for some reason it does catch my eye too, well it is a rag right!! lol. And the rack is og it even says made it germany but i dont like rags with racks so it is for sale. |
