So i bought this ek3 civic but it has a pretty high mileage (290k km/180k miles).

Before buying this car my plan was to replace it with my current daily (2001 toyota yaris) but since the mileage is so high i dont realy dare to do it anymore and im thinking of just keeping the yaris and having the civic as a project car. The civic also has 0 papers so i cant really know if it was taken care of or not.

Can this civic still last me some years as a daily or should i really keep it as a project car?

My car has some paint damage from the previous Civic emblem (probably ripped out by the previous owner or something) and under that the same but less worse. I thought it was glue so i used adhesive remover but that didn't work. And when i looked more carefully and felt it i realised that it was just metal and even little bits of starting rust.

On other areas though i got what seems to be clear coat fading or anything like that.

What should i do with these different areas? Do i have to sand, repaint it and then coat it again?

On the first pic i see some weird white stuff that looks like foam and that kind of pushed the side metal out if you look closely from outside. I also see some black paint or whatever so someone already treated this or didn't treat it right. Im also afraid that the rust will look worse under that black paint coat. One good thing though is that i dont see any rust bubbles or whatever from the outside so i think that's good atleast.

So im trying to buy some new rims for my clover green pearl civic but cant really decide between these 3: Rota Grid bronze, Rota Grid black and Jr3 gun metal (or silver) wheels.

For some reason i see alot of hate for the Jr wheels, i dont know why though.

But which one would look best?

So i dont know anything about wires etc but i was wondering why the left and right side wires have different colors. Is this normal?

And am i just missing the white and red thicker wires with the iron tips for speakers to connect?

If so, what are they called exactly?

So i bought this 2000 honda civic hatchback that was supposed to be rust free but when i removed the inner fender liner at the front to replace that i saw that there was rust behind the front fender, around the rocker panel area and also saw on the outside of that area some little rustbubbles. How bad is this and can i fix this myself without any welding?

So the car came without a radio/headunit and the last owner gave me this Sony radio/headunit but i have no idea how to connect this. All i know is that those 2 blue wires are for a subwoofer, but i dont see a any subwoofer in the back?

I also feel like im missing some wires since the youtube videos show other wires.
