Default honda all of a sudden

Hello I am a first time Honda owner. I have always had broncos and explorers, I snapped a axle on my 82 bronco and picked my 97 3 door out of necessity. I paid $500 for it and fell in love with it. Unfortunately the thermostat stuck closed and warped the head.
The good thing is last week I went in to the dodge dealership to apply for a dodge tech job and they gave me a Honda tech job( I did not even know they had a Honda shop)
Long story short I got a new head, genuine Honda gaskets, and a new stainless header. My car is at the Honda shop waiting for the parts to arrive. You cant beat free dealer labor

Its got a cool air intake now, the header I got will eliminate the cat so I will stack 2 non foulers to trick the 2nd o2. I will do a new exhaust probably a 2chamber I want to stay away from the fart can. I also plan on tweaking the ecm. This will hold me over for a week or 2.

I dunno, I could almost see $500 for a body-kitted civic with red window tint and a warped head. Hows the suspension? Whats under the hood? stock SOHC?

Needs a little rice cooked off of it, but otherwise a good buy. You'll love the gas mileage.

Definitely needs some cleaning up, but has potential. Nice pickup!
