I can buy a 95 civic 4 door LX for under $600 U.S. 170k miles.

It has some left rear end damage too, but otherwise the a/c 5spd motor
worked well.
The owner said to expect 30mpg in mixed driving.

Is this project work it - I see others needing head gasket for $1500+ same
mileage, better bodies.

The crashed Civic is far better than the one needing head gasket.
