Hey, just taking the time to come out and introduce my self, new member here and im new to honda's. Looking forward to learning alot from you guys. Backstory-I bought this stock 96 civic for 500 bucks. Its a clean title, dx nonvtec coupe. i know its not the "best" model to get,but for 500 i aint complaining. Im just looking for something i can work on and make it look good while it can save me on gas while i go to school and work. im not lookin for a speed demon, just a car that would look cool and run great after some work. Heres a pic of how it looked when i got it

Thanks guys. Yeah im stoked about it. my first honda, and this car is pretty fun to drive. The motor is a bit eh, but i got a spare motor that will replace it. Just trying to figure out what to slowly start on. Engine work will be soon, but i wanna try to bring that old black paint back to life. Its not peeling or chipping but its pretty dull, dare i say chalky. Any wax/buffig advice?
I dont know where to really start just enjoying it for the moment, and love the work that goes into it to make it look good.

thanks!
