Need to try and repair this for my lovely elderly neighbour. She's very dependent on the car but doesn't have much money so I want to try and sort this out as cheaply as possible. She's had the car for years and years so getting a new one isn't an option! it's a 95 civic
By no means are we...
Not mine but might be good for someone on here. Looks like a good price considering the springs look fairly new.

I 100% recommend carbone lorraine pads. Mine (RC5+) lasted for over 30k of hard hard miles and still had meat on them when I sold them. Due to the type of compound they got better with a pounding on track but worked well even when cold.
Looks much better mate.
As said just get a new light unit. Think they're £7 from vospers on ebay.
Top of the lights need a little more sanding by the looks of things. All the same it looks completely different!
Greenwich tunnel is rather odd I find. It's really difficult to know when you're walking on the level or slope because of the wall tiles! Also like it that the entrances are boobs
Seriously awesome photos
Took out the fogs on mine and made them into ducts using 4" neoprene ducting
Use a Skoda fabia splitter, there's a group buy at the moment.

Little update today.
Picked up the bits needed for a wide track conversion.
Now I need
new or adapt the rear abs sensors
rear discs and pads
braided lines
lower ball joints
rear springs (after cup springs)
I'll paint it all up before fitting.
Front...
1 think I'll add to this is the cost involved. It's not cheap at all. I imagine if you spray the car you will never get the overspray off in some areas and would be finding the old colours for years.
Clear for stone chips sounds good though, but if the stone is powerful enough to take the paint...
It's not hard but you do need to be precise. I'd never done anything like it before and just gave it a shot. Took me about half an hour to do the dials and I haven't given the other bits a go yet.
this might be of help to you...
I ran 15mm spacers on the back, 16mm on the front with et43 wheels, sportline springs and had no scrubbing even when fully loaded :) was close though at times on the back!
They aren't bulbs, they are smds with are about 3x3mm and have to be soldered to the board.
I take it you changed the facia of the dials then and didn't do the circuit board. Plasma dials?
I don't think it was an option at all from factory. Some very late initiale models came with cc.
change loom if cc not present. Took me a while to retrofit
Icey squib is for cruise and airbag but as you don't have cruise it will be just an airbag model squib.
Once you've taken the top cowling off (pulls off) stalk control has a clip on top you press in and it pulls out. Don't touch the torx as will all fall apart if you split the casing.
What do...
Yeah looks okay. Just make sure it's not written off or been in an accident as it's Gumtree, advertised with recaro style seats as well which isn't the kind of thing a normal DCI driver would put.
"All trims present" that's a weird thing to put.
Very cheap for what it is though so I'd be a...
You'd probably be the first to do this on the forum so if you really want it you could chop it and see. Otherwise I'd send it back as it will be difficult to sell on eBay/the market
Agree chip but a pop of the bonnet would almost guarantee if it's a new one or not. Injector pipes start to look old pretty quickly and pip and injectors get grubby, it's a diesel!
PAV is pre-accident value. Usually based on book price.
If it's a cat D they will expect to get around 40% of advertised pav on sale and pay around 25-30% of the pay out PAV to the insurer.
