This is what it looked like after I got it (photos curteousy of Rev):
Unfortunately, not long after that picture was taken (about a month later) I was driving it and somebody in a 2004 Civic decided to drive on the wrong side of the road trying to cheat to a left-turn lane and hit me head-on, so the car got totalled.
Here is the car looking all sad today:
So almost a year has passed since the accident (!! I've been busy moving and adjusting to married life, etc.) and I decide to do something about the car. I contemplated parting it out, but I have some sort of psychological disorder that prevents me from "killing" things that are non-sentient like cars, so I wanted to try and "save" the car.
Conveniently enough, I ended up finding a complete 1993 shell in Texas that was complete save for the motor and transmission. Perfect! I bought it and imported it. It has some bodywork issues (it was a lot worse than these pictures make it look) and the paint is super-crappy Maaco $400 quality + I cannot stand yellow (just a personal thing, don't take offense!), but I am changing that and will be swapping the drivetrain and any other useful bits over from the crashed car so hopefully it's "organs" can live on in another vehicle.
Here are some pics of the shell in its current state of ugly:
