What's Wrong with your Civic?

What's Wrong with your Civic?
Yeah I know...It seem like I'm biting from the "What have you done to your civic today?" thread..
But it's just a thought of the question. I thought of this because on this forum I see everyone displaying their Civics(sometimes Accords) and they all look PERFECT, like a new civic that just came off the assembly line.
But there has to be something that's wrong with it...something...ANYTHING!
I just wanna make sure I'm not the only one that don't have enough money or time to replace an oil seal, the door pillar trims, the fuel injectors, or even that broken never-used rear passenger seat belt that been there for years.
So..here it is..What wrong with your Civic?
I'll set it off..
Civic: 92 LX 187,000 miles
2-Loose Trim Door Pillars.
Several golf-size dents on hood.
Front Bumper paint is cracking...BAD!
Driver's side seat torn(leather part).
Inside panel cracked into 3 pieces(where the window meets the panel)
Driver's side Outer Tie Rod bushing torn(again).
Both Trailer Arm bushings busted.
Stereo(Sony) can't receive AM/FM signal.
Both front turn signal housings cracked.
Automatic door-locks don't work.
No AC(still problem solving..in the winter!).
Steering Wheel slightly crocked after 1-time Alignment months ago.

94 Civic DX Hatchback 122,000 mi
Owned it for about 3 weeks.
Have a leaky oil pan gasket. (sealed it for the 4th time today)
Leaky passenger axle seal (replaced the axle and seal still leaks)
Probable distributor leak.
Possible other leaks. Have to get the other leaks first to see what else is leaking.
Took 6 cans of degreaser and 8 cans of brake fluid to clean the lower part of the engine and there is still grease under the manifold and other areas not easily reached.
Leak in the rear somewhere. Could be the tail lights or rear hatch. Still to be determined.
Basically it's a leaky beast that lived it's life in Hawaii until recently.

if you buy a new gasket for the oil pan and replace it right the first time you wouldnt have that problem, if you dont get the seal all the way flush and straight then it will leak, as for the distributor, take the whole thing off (3 12mm bolts) and replace the oring
#5
buy tweeters on ebay, spray lithium grease on the window tracks to allow the windows to go up and down easier
#6
Were you trying to clean your engine? That grease can come off alot easier if the engine is warm. Cover the dizzy & alternator, Spray the degreaser..let it set(3-5 minutes) then spray down with a waterhose(not high pressure). Should be easier.
