Car enthusiast with a civic!

What's up everyone, I'm Sanjay, I decided to join the boards for some opinions and see builds. Love cars in general, never had a civic though, but just picked her up this past Wednesday.
2000 Civic DX with 183k on the clock
Clean exterior except one little rust spot in the rear quarter panel
Runs very good for its' age. Already loving it.
I needed a reliable daily driver. Looking to work lightly on the suspension, definitely needs to have a lot less body roll. Thinking of starting with just thicker sway bars and strut bars for the rear and front. Here she is in her glory :

I already have a working project car and she needs some time off until I get everything I need going. Probably Spring/summer, but we'll see. Here she is.
Planning to do a rebuild tranny and motor swap.

I also have a mini cooper, but I'm trying to sell her because, unfortunately, I cannot fix her up (needs a new transmission and some suspension work) but she's a good looking thing :

Names are as follows lol :
Subaru - Khushi (Hindi for happiness)
Mini - Alexandria
Civic - Allison

My true aim is to have an awd, rwd, and fwd car - modified accordingly. Working towards it.
Looking forward to checking out what this civic has in store for me.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Thank you and thank you!
Got ways to go, but figured I'd start checking out what some people do to their cars. A lot of nice cars on here.

Re: Car enthusiast with a civic!

Nice cars, friend! I'm a new Honda owner, myself. I just purchased a 2000 LX Sedan with similarly high mileage, but I'm pretty much a rook when it comes to cars. I joined the forum to learn more about maintaining and upgrading my vehicle. Good luck with future endeavors!

P.S. I named mine 'Marty'
