Default New-ish, and My Teg

1995 Integra LS

Car was handed down from older sibling who moved onto an Audi, had the front bumper + driver side fender replaced.

Completely stock. The downside is it's auto, which is killing me. But probably not worth it to swap to stick?

I want to re-paint/replace the front bumper as it's not flush with the hood, the hood is about 1/4" above the bumper. Since replacing the bumper, the front headlights need to be re-aligned, as they are pointing too low to the ground making night driving a bit more difficult.

The driver side fender definitely needs to be repainted/replaced because it's horrendous with the flat matte grey/black.

Car has 279xxxkm on it, and after all said and done I'm pretty pleased with how it is and how I got it for free =

Any ideas, suggestions on what to do with car condition, or if it's even worth the money and effort to fix?

yea, i wouldnt really spend a whole lot. manual conversion is not worth it on that car. maybe fix the rust if you can do it yourself, but i wouldnt drop a lot on that car. AT MOST like danny.t said just fix the body and rims..... just kinda make it appealing. but even so, i would put like 3000 bucks into it for paint rims and body work.... not worth it. keep it, and save up/ decide on another "project" car or something thats a better investment.

It looks ok, if mechanically ok, then just drive it. Hell do the bodywork yourself, spray bomb it and beat it haha. Then summer comes get a cheap mayco paint job and sell. Then buy something in manual.
Or just beat it to the ground till you save up enough to buy another car.

I wish I took a pic of my 4dr when I first bought it a few years back. It was rusty, dented, mismatched paint. Stuck with it and after 4 years, here is what she ended up looking:

1994-1996 (No 1997 DB7's that i'm aware of) 4 door tegs were available in Canada.

1998-2001 4 door tegs are available in the U.S.
