    I won't post any more paint pics till she's done sorry for being a pic whore. Body works no 100% but its 1000% better than it was haha
  • Bodywork and a paintjob could be done over a weekend with 2 guys with power sanders but I like taking my time and i don't have a sander so it's all being done BY HAND. I encourage you guys to do it. I know you can im just a guy like you with the power of YouTube lol
  • looks so good!! cant believe its turning out so well
  • Here's a DIY for my Lexus headlights... Same process for the tails

  • Haha yea I think I got enough parts to build a second wagon I just need a body!!! On a off note I met my new neighbor today he move out from Cali a 33 year GMC mechanic and built multiple trophy trucks. I think I live in the coolest col de sac lol 4 car dudes outta 5 house lol the others a FBI agent... He keeps to himself
  • no answer to the banner :( okay Mr Greedy McGreedster lol jk..

    my wagon needs body work sooo bad IMO.. the little dents, dings, and scratches kill me


    im down to see MOARZ! *grabs popcorn*
  • The banner I stole off the net and my neighbor printed it out. He's workin no the civic shuttle and wagovan decals now. I wanted to paint the wagon madori green but I can't find it in cans haha.
  • Clean! I love how the paint came out after polish. I rebuilt my window regulator, changed my plugs and started fabbing my front spliter over the weekend I have to get some pics up. Still looking forward to seeing and maybe purchasing the spoiler.
  • Here's the polish I use

  • Still haven't got alot of down time to finish my paint... But I've had some time here so I'm finishing up some projects first

    Man seems like a lot of people are making their own cargo covers latley :)
  • ^agreed but everyone wants WAY to much for covers and speaker pods so this is the end result

    The wing is sold to a member and a good friend of mine jdmcody
  • jessedmjessedm New Wagonist
    Pics of the finished product?
  • ^I'm still working on it but its already sold. I will post up more soon
  • that spoiler looks pretty badass.. a little more aggressive than the OsakaJDM one that i want, i like it alot..

    ever think of making and selling them? id be down to buy one lol
  • I was planning on making more of them but I don't know how to make a mold of it and the time and materials I put into it I don't think many people would invest in one. It took me about a month to figure out the pattern and materials. Planned on just making the two but I might make another for a armrest or center console swap or cash lol
  • bro, the burnt wood looks sick! doing the floor next? ;)
  • Yep just bit off a little more than I would have liked I think I have torn apart everything and now I gotta put it back together then the car will be ready to mod. Lol a ton of work just to put it stock but I doubt I will ever sell this Honda I miss my last one to much:(
  • well if you plan on making another im down to buy one!
  • I had a day off today so I had time to finish se things up. Best thing of all I got her running today!!!! I had the green and brown plugs on the intake manifold backwards it took me awhile to figure out that they were the exact same.

    It all wire tucked now
    149.jpg
    I need to remove the charcoal canister and map sensor from the firewall and that will be about it for a tuck. The battery is going to be located in the trunk as well.

    Holes all patched
    150.jpg
    151.jpg
    152.jpg

    And my interior is complete and put back together
    153.jpg

    I won this off ebay dirt cheap from Japan haha. I've been wanting one for a Long time and think it will go good with my cargo cover I'm going to paint the center black.
    154.jpg
