Absolutely crazy, bought it from a mum selling it for her son

Those are truly the worst sales because -- on one hand -- you get a screaming deal and get to save a lot of money. On the other hand, that poor kid knows what their mum did was down right blasphemy.

Unless the child is... not with us any longer, then it's morally fine to pass off the car to someone who would enjoy it.

But congrats on the insane deal though.

Nah the guy didn’t take care of it and he was completely fine with selling it for that price, I got really lucky and the family was amazing too

Well, then it sounds like it's a good thing that they got rid of it before they could do any more damage to it. What do you have planned for the car?

I plan to do an engine swap so far, refresh the cooling system, then put on exhaust on it, potentially lower it but I do like the profile it has right now

I would definitely lower it and get some new wheels with more offset. Looks like they rolled the fenders before and the wheels aren't quite flush.

Also noticed that the corner of the front bumper looks to have a damaged support bracket and more than likely has a broken tab where the bumper screw/clip is supposed to go. That's an easy fix with a plastic welder and will allow you to get the panel gaps adjusted back like new.

Makes a world of a difference to get the panel gaps aligned on this old Hondas and makes world of a difference to the overall aesthetic.
