'89 Almond Cream Wagon from NorCal to New Jersey

Band Wagon
Not really a new member to this forum seeing as I joined it months ago, but I haven't really gotten the chance/been too lazy to post up until now.
So here's my wagon...
I consider the wagon my first "real car", as it's the first car I've really ever cared about and cared to fix up. Since moving to California, I was exposed to a lot more car culture than in New Jersey and found myself gaining a growing interest in starting my own project car. After much consideration, I decided a Civic was probably a great way to start myself off; easy to work on, easy to find parts (cheap parts), and great on gas mileage (much needed for California driving). I searched for maybe 2 frustrating months and finally came across this wagon on CL back in October 2013.
Now I'm originally from New Jersey and I've just recently moved back to home soil. Naturally, I brought the wagon back with me, shipped it, and am now dealing with these lovely potholes the East Coast Vortex-Winter carved out of the roads. Awesome. Good thing I did work on my suspension before I left California.
RSX rear shocks, 88 Prelude front shocks, 88 control arms, ground control sleeves. Also upgraded to DA Integra brakes and spindles.
Still planning to do some interior work, add rear mudflaps, a lip, new exhaust.. Probably new wheels pretty soon, I'm pretty tired of the RPF1s. Keeping it simple and clean for the most part.
Here's some shots I took of it on its first day in Jersey.
If any of you East Coast wagon owners are gonna be at Honda Day in Atco, NJ this coming weekend, I'll see you there!
