1990 civic crx for $1000. worth it?

there's a guy selling a crx 5 speed manual for a grand. it's not the si and i'm pretty sure it is a sohc. it has a small rust spot on one quarterpanel and needs a new clutch. he said he just bought a new clutch and will give it to me, but i gotta put it in myself.

worth it or not?

how fast do you think i can make this car for not that much cash? i still got my 2k1, so this thing is just for beating up.

let me know what u think.

how much cash are you talking about spending on making it fast....man, you can drop a b series engine into that with no prob...i have a friend that has a crx with a b16 in it and it's pretty fast...i mean think about...a real light car with a b16 in it!!!

the original motor got 130k miles on it. i know a guy who will swap that one for an EX with around 45k miles on it for 600. that along with new i/h/e and a small shot should hook me up pretty nice.
