Inspecting an EB Civic

Postby AE86less » Fri Jan 20, 2012 3:37 pm

I'm going to look at a 79 EB civic tonight, it looks fairly tidy bar a blown headgasket.

Are there any things particular to this model or early hondas to look out for? Hidden rust etc?

Cheers.

Mine started rusting within 6 months of living outside, but damn that car was fun to drive!

Rust in top of roof near the doors, firewall etc ect. Have a really good look underneath at the floor too. My old accord rusted right along there 15mm in towards the floor from the sill.
