Default ugg.. don't really have money for a project car but 88 crx no rust

I'm not sure I can say no to a $500 clean CRX

Its an automatic which doesn't bug me, but it sounds like the engine is probably shot and its rolling on ugly rims so it just needs a bit of love! (and an engine and new rims)

thoughts? this is a bit out of my knowledge base. I'm pretty sure it can fit quite a few newer engines but the transmission needs to come from an 88 to 91?

Swap it to a b series and swap to MT and it will be a fun car. The fact that it is AT would make me say "no", regardless of how clean it is. Not a fan of 88-91 Honda Civics/CRX's either.

I understand about the MT.. I'd be happier with a stick shift but I'm probably just going to be getting this fixed up and selling it to a good home unless my finances start to look up. I wouldn't even be considering the work except 'rust free' hondas don't really exist up here in Milwaukee so someone's gonna go all googly eyed over it and it should sell for decent money.

..even my beat up 97 hatch has ppl pulling up and asking if I'm selling I had a kid on a moped chase me down a couple weeks ago!
