My new old honda "fit"

in Rides & Builds- Civic wagons
i used to own an 07 honda fit sport, but working at a power plant, the car would always get soot and ash on it, so I bought a beater camry, then an accord wagon, so I drove the fit less and less and it made no sense to keep it, so I sold it. Ive always wanted a gray civic wagon to match my fit, but theyre pretty hard to come by here in oahu, but I found this on craigslist last week. got it for 480$, water pump leaking live a sieve, and after I replaced the water pump, timing belt and seals, the head gasket blew, so I had to take it all apart again.. waiting for the head kit from honda so I can have the head rebuilt, but got monroe sensatracs from napa, cut DA skunk2 springs and the rota beats from my old fit, more pics soon, whaddya think?

    Nice score for $480! It would have been nice if those FIT window visors would have "fit" the wagon.

    i am on fitfreak as hondamatic too, been there since i got mine in 07, hated to sell her tho.. maybe gonna make fit/wago meets in hawaii since theyre pretty much the same thing

    no, the car still doesnt run yet, still waiting for parts from the dealer, so might as well make it sit nice.. cut the skunk springs many times until i was happy, this is 1 full coil in front, 6.5 coils in back (each side) i dunno how you guys with slammed wagons and ebay coilovers do it....... maybe need some super extended tophats so the springs dont fall out after every bump

    just thought id say it first, cutting the springs probably wasnt a good idea

    +1 i very rarely cut and if i do, not much but i guess the heat got to me and.. looking at nice wagos on this site+no money= cutting too much..
