The 1984 Hatchback was the Honda that first got me hooked! I was in the market for a new Corolla SR-5 at the time but couldn't afford one. So I bought a used white 1984 HB as consolation. I remember being amazed at how smooth it felt even at 90+ mph. Since then it has been nothing but Hondas for me. Congrats on such a great find (under 100k miles...wow). Hope you have fun with it.

Unless you just want to keep it as stock as possible (or money is an issue), why not throw some nice rims on it instead of looking for a replacement hubcap?

The exterior is in really great shape. Do you have any shots of the interior and the engine bay? You should really put up a gallery of shots in the Photos section.

Yeah, after 28 years, I bet the struts are probably a little the worse for wear. Might be time to invest in a new set.

How's the engine running?

oh I do and plan on having fun with it for years to come, lol.


the wheels... Well hmmm I'm trying to upgrade it but dont like the riced out look so if I find set of wheels I like and are in the budget then I'll jump on them but she has nice rubber on so I cant see buying new tires when I have good tires...

I kinda wanted to leave it stock but I picked up a set of hub caps (not off a honda) at a parts yard, I'll post pics soon, their older stainless steel caps kinda plain and I have no idea what they are off of
