It is from a 4th gen civic hatch. Doesn't fit exactly right, was thinking about removing it, I'll have to see once I start driving it again. Definitely going to put an arm rest in it, any ideas on which fits/looks the best?
Well, the project started in PA. I moved to VA, into an apt from my parents house w/ garages (notice plural). In VA I got a storage shed I used as a garage. Spent most of my time working on a Jeep we had and spent all other time on my del sol. Didn't get out to the storage/garage as often as I wanted.
About a year later, bought a house with garage! Wagon spent most it's time sitting on the far side of the garage, worked on it here and there. One random garage-clean-up-day consisted of packing the wagon up and moving it outside, so I could actually use the garage for my daily, the del sol, which just hit 200k.
In parallel with the whole story I had my eye out for a z6 engine for a good price, finally found one semi local and pulled the trigger hard. Also as the original thread shows I had plans to build a b2, which delayed my decision making process.
Recently monies tightened up again, so the project will slow, if it wasn't slow enough for you already :P
Hopefully in the next few weeks I can pickup a gravity feed sprayer (kit) and get this engine in and running.
Picture of the engine I picked up nearly 2 months ago. It feels like it's been two weeks. How bad ass is that valve cover? hah
And to clear my name for anyone that is looking at the dates of my posts....I have been busy like I tried to insinuate earlier...
got a dog
built a patio, with the help of several friends and my wife....and dog?
got another dog...
built a garden (fence) with the help of a friend and my wife. Last year the deer tore up my buht jolokia peppers.
fixed/4wheeled this more than a few times...look, you can almost make out a wagon reflection!
and a ton of landscaping and yard work....(these are just pictures of some of the flowers in my wild flower garden (they're more fun than the rest of the landscaping))

So this years moving right along. Met up with hoodbridge/da wedge this weekend. Ended up going out and buying some tools the next day to move along with bodywork and progress. Pulled the engine/tranny totally out after a quick garage clean up. Going to start prepping the engine bay for paint next.
heres the deal u have to get ur wagon put back together and ill boost mine ill help u weld and do body work and u tune my car oo and i need to feel tha torque in ur delsol too and u can here the obnoxiously loud vtec crossover on a b16 my new upper control arms will be here in 3-5
hoodbridge was telling me about some premixed metallic clear at some of the local parts stores. I was checking it out last night, might look pretty good on top of my gray. 22 bucks for a can of it though, and it was laquer, my base is enamel.
It's been so cold, wet and miserable lately. I haven't even cleaned the RR off, let alone make any progress on the wagon. I picked up some black paint for some of the brackets under the hood. I checked out some prices to paint the car, from a regular auto body paint supplier. Might be looking into a cheaper solution, that rustoleum turned out ok, and looks good. I'd love to add a bit of green/seafoam to it for the body.
I need to get those white plastic clips that hold the windshield/wiper cowel on, I found them at majestic honda, but it'd be nice to get them from the junk yard. Does anyone know if they are even recoverable, from a junker? Mine all disintegrated, but they were exposed to the sun all summer.
Last but not least I need to take the del sol in for inspection this month, already half way through and I can't seem to put the time together to get it to a shop.

from what i know, the DA integra arm rests work best.

actually... that's not good to hear.
i wish there was more time for your wagon.
Also, this has been a huge time suck:

Are you going to put the ITB's on that Z6?
Actually dude on here up in hoodbridge, from DA WEDGE thread, really got my motivation moving in the right direction on this project.
My buddy had ITBs on his B18A1 and it screamed, problem with the brake booster not getting enough vacuum though, just a heads up
and i'm digging the "rover," except the wagon would have been my priority. :P
i want to see.
88-89 door on a 91. Need to swap over whatever electronics are in the latch assembly and adjust to see if I can get it flush
love when a plan
comes together...
this is what I did today
you should sell the "rover" to fund the wagon.
Here's a pic of the last adventure that day...
thats whats missing...
: )

Did you mean a Honda 929 bike?
Because I can't find much info on a Honda 959...
