Hello
Hello group after years without my Honda. I finally got myself another. My former ride was a 1987 Accord she had 275,000 on her still ran strong but the body gave in to rust. I just got myself a 1998 Civic sedan with only 25,000 original miles. I don't know much about this chassis but I am planning some mods. Thanks for having me it's time to start the research.
Glen

Re: Hello
Thanks for the welcome. The car was my mom's it has never seen the snow it's been garage kept and sat for the last four years. I have to decide to make it my daily driver or try to keep it cherry. I don't think a 98 four door will ever be a collector type car but I am still on the fence. A daily driver for me will put a ton of miles on and Pa. Salt will rust her out. I may just hop it up and make a sleeper out of her.

You would be surprised. The 6th generation is considered to be one of the Civic's best. What trim level is it? BTW, pics or it didn't happen.

Re: Hello
Thank you for the welcome. Here are a few Pics I took it's still in the garage so they are not the best. Taking it home as soon as the weather gets better don't want it slopped up. It is a 1998 Civic LX
Thank you
Glen

Re: Hello
Looks great! Just keep up on the maintenance and consider changing out that 17 year old timing belt ASAP.
