Mom's budget project

Band Wagon
Hello everybody, my name is Esteban. Joining this site to get more info about these cool little rides and search the classifieds for parts.
The mom just purchased an '89 Civic 2WD Wagon(her dream car) from a local buyer. Wasn't there to inspect the car when she bought it but fortunately it's in good mechanically condition. Appearance wise is a different story so I have some work cut out for me.
Looks to be a brown/brown car that was painted white at one point with a nice collection of dents. Beat up driver side fender, cracked/bent passenger headlight, a failed attempt at removing tint, dented/spray painted passenger doors, and gouges on the front bumper
.
PS: Anyone have any USDM turn signal lights for sale? The ones next to headlights
Pics of wagon after removing the tint. What a gem! lol

Welcome
UPDATE #1:
I sourced some much needed parts from a local yard. Got a driver-side fender, 2 dent-free(and white) passenger doors, minty tailights, matching rear headrests, a nice bumper, passenger headlight with bracket, and a bunch of other smaller things. Didn't think I would find parts that fast. I still need to find a pair of turn signal lights though.
some cell pics of the core damage I discovered when removing the fenders. Finished everything late so I couldn't take any good shots of the fixes.
New doors, bumper, and headlight! sweet!!
Also as I was leaving the junkyard I spotted an Accord Wagon in the parking lot with a nice Thule roof rack and asked the owner if he would be interested in selling it. He thought about it and asked what my offer would be. Having just spent $350 in junkyard parts I thought it was worth a shot offering him $40 on the spot. He said $50 and he would include a basket and hardware that he has back home! Well to cut the story short I am back home, $50 dollars poorer but with a sweet roof basket setup. :P
ill leave the roof rack install for update #2
