Hello!
Hi, I'm a noob to the site. This site has been very helpful to me. I just picked up a 2001 civic ex a little over a week ago. I was lucky enough to get it for free. 
it's basically going to be my daily driver. The car was sitting in a driveway for almost two years. It has some hail damage to the roof, hood, and trunk. Front bumper cover is cracked and driver side fender has a dent near the headlight. The bra pretty much covers up the damage. Also, rear bumper cover has a small crack near the exhaust pipe. Oem fog lights busted as well. I'm not complaining though. 
the engine runs great and car drives fine. Interior is clean
Only thing that's been a pain in the butt was the mice nest in the cabin air filter area. So far I've cleaned that and put new air filters in. Vacuumed mice poop on seats and in glove box.
.
I have yet to clean the mice **** and poop in the trunk where the spare tire well is. I just vacuumed out the nest in the spare tire and around the well. Looking to replace the trunk carpet and spare tire well lid.
I will post pics up later. Definitely need to give it detailed wash and engine area clean up. Gotta wait for spring/summer. Too cold right now.
I should add...it had 134k on it.
