Maintenance/Repairs

Hello, I recently bought a 2000 Honda civic dx on offer up for $2,800 with 120k miles in flamenco black and its a manual. It’s my first car and I’m very confused on what I should do, it needs a bit of work interior wise and under the hood. I understand it’s a honda and parts aren’t as hard to find nor expensive. I recently went to two nearby auto shops for a smog check to find out that it has no catalytic converter and two oxygen sensors are down. Whenever I start the car, I wouldn’t see a check engine light but turns out a fuse or something went out but it has a check engine light with the scanner tool they used. It’s also leaking a little oil. I knew from the very beginning that I’d put some money into it because it’d be a project car, but I’m wondering if all of this would be too much or if it’s really worth it. Before I bought the car I’d look at youtube videos of people transforming their civics from an absolutely totalled civic that wouldn’t even start, to selling it for$ 6-8k. I’d really appreciate any financial or mechanical advice on whether it’s worth fixing it up the cheapest way possible, or selling it to a junkyard. Thank you
