So i got a Honda Civic Ek3 with 290k km or 180k miles and decided to daily it from now on instead of having it as a project/hobby car.
Main reason basically is because i found some bad rust (as you can see) and i dont know if it’s worth having it welded anymore and put any more money into it so that’s why i decided to just drive it until the rust becomes too bad or something else happens i guess.
I did buy some maintenance stuff like 10w40 high mileage oil, hamp oil filter, Honda coolant, thermostat, timing belt, waterpump and lastly an valve cover gasket. I’m planning on having all these things installed in the hopes of having it reliable and having a new starting point since the previous maintenance history is unknown and i dont know if the car was driven hard (it probably was since it used to be lowered and had a strut brace in the trunk etc…).
So my question to you guys, will the car be ok after having all that maintenance stuff put in the car? Any other important preventive stuff that i might’ve missed?
Thanks
