Default Yo!

Hi Im new to the Honda forum, but not new to Hondas. I have had numerous civics in the past. I just bought a 92 Civic Hatch which is always been my favorite. It has a 1.5 with 1.6 vtec head, header, y-pipe, stock SI exhaust. It has been lowered and has front strut tower brace, 2 rear braces, and lower control arms. My intentions for joining are to make this car a nice fun daily driver. Im not trying to make it fast. Im actually a V8 GM guy. Ive had numerous F-bodys and LS1 cars which I still currently own. I just like Hondas and think they are great daily drivers.

Is the paint the OEM paint? Looks very clean still, and any problems yet? Previous owner half *** issues?

Its not the OEM paint job it has been repainted corvette blue with metallic flake.
I have a few issues with it right now.
1. Its been slammed and they didnt do anything else to the car. so the alignment is so bad off its eating the inside of the tires up so i ordered front and rear caster camber plates and some SI wheels.
2. There are some other noises coming from the front that i need to figure out what they are.
3. They are a few things that dont work like the windshield wipers and fan.
