newbie.......first honda

Hi everyone....I just wanted to introduce myself and poor little civic(pictures below). My step-brother recently GAVE me his 92 Civic DX after he was in a little accident. It currently has about 150,000 miles, which I hear isnt that bad for a honda. Anyway, the guy at the shop said i need both a lower and upper control arm, and he could do it for $300 with used parts, including labor, but not body work. I know I have a long road ahead to get it in the condition I want it......but im up for the challenge but I think my first challege is actually learning how to drive stick , Well let me know what you think.....I look forward to learning from everyone.....thanx!.........Sarah
