TheGman's 91 civic wagon (New pics!)

I figured i might as well get a build thread going since i've had my wagon for over 3 weeks!
Its basically all stock, swapped d15b2 from a different wagon with a (ghetto) rigged accord radiator, busted up fender and messed up hood. With peeling paint.
The only stuff i've done to it so far, is a tune up (cap rotor plugs and plug wires) ran some lucas fuel system treatment thru it.
Dont mind the sharpie marks, i was about do fix all the dents and paint the car but i got shut down!
Oh, and i now have red tail lights.

enjoy!
Much more to come, slamming it (low budget ebay springs) and probably a new garage champ white paint job. Or primer green.

Hell ya lol
Fixing the camber pretty soon too! spacers for the win
Parked next to a 2nd gen wagon at a safeway!
I should be getting a new corner light soon
Anyone have some rear mudflaps? haha
Gotta raise the back up a tiny bit.
Farther off plans include, skunk 2 struts, painting the roof black, and freshening up the side moldings and maybe a red stripe just for fun!
My personal favorite VVVVV
Sorry, i was too lazy to really mask off the tire...
They're pretty darn amber.... But i like them regardless.
Still rollin low, sticker bombed my front lip, seized a transmission, and proceeded to replace it with a civic SI transmission. Hopefully soon i'll be able to get my MPFI swap done (i have 90% of the parts) and make my wagon run a little bit better.
Then the slow mega budget mini-me build begins, y7 block, z6 head decked, rebuild the block and rework the head, adjustable cam gear, and then convert to obd1, do a full wire tuck, ebay headers, y8 manifold, 60mm throttlebody, intake. One piece at a time... or maybe 2, or 3 or 4 if i get one of them... job... things..
It was just cell phone pics, and it was sorta foggy.
^^ i think i need to go a little bit lower still
That volvo lip is prime. What's next?
I did get a job, 11.75 an hour + (from what my trainer was telling me) 2$ an hour from how much production the nightshift does. So far i've been doing 8 hour days every day. So hopefully soon i'll be getting some bigger ticket items.
Starting with suspension, then XXR 522's, Gold of course ;-)
Maybe some adjustable godspeeds, camber kits, new rear LCA's.
Get a better halfsized aluminum radiator, full exhaust once i do the motor swap.
Then i'll probly pick up some yellow EK fogs, the huge square ones, maybe an EDM fog, window visors, hid's, pull my headlights apart and do legit black housing headlights.
Maybe some other secret projects will be in the works also.
Then building a paint shop in my parents garage, then buy everything to swap my motor to something nicer, maybe a jdm d15b vtec? Then proceed to paint/shave/tuck my bay, and shave/paint my car.
As long as this job doesn't kill me.
what happened to your drop fork plan?
The rear tail/corners lights were just the red version with clear,
lol ebay coils, they ride like garbage now because the struts are blown and i have them maxed out. So far the job i got has been 8hrs a day during the week so as soon as i get paid i'm getting new coilovers.
The idea for drop forks is on the back burner because i'll either have to find a company to cast them, or have a machine shop with a lathe make them
Big plans in the works, just waiting on that paycheck!
A friend of mine is running Megan EZ street coilovers on his EK sedan, Thinking i'll get the same setup (but for an EF) because he's really low and not maxed out and with a good ride (for being low).
Wish it was friday already lol...
I think I met your friend yesterday, is it a red sedan in Lakewood?
Its SO damn clean. I'm jealous.
Also i bought some cheap tools, DA sander and a 50$ paint gun. I'll be painting my roof, drivers side fender at least. Then i'm going to paint the hood and passenger fender if i have enough paint.
Should be fun! Thats tomorrow's project tho haha
The radiator is sitting down into the front crossmember, and is tilted back towards the motor, Its not held in by any sort of support. Its just kinda sitting there.
It may look good, and it keeps it cool even in traffic and even without a fan. Which is all i can really ask for!
