MY WAGGO....

in Rides & Builds- Civic wagons
Hello folks....not to good at these build threads. First one actually So bare with me. A friend of mine called me one day and asked if i might be intrested a waggo for a couple hundred bucks. I was like sure.....catch to it tho... the tranny is no good. So i drove up to Lakewood washington and fell in car love again. He actually was given the car so he hooked me up. A 91 2wd with no reverse and a 4th gear auto that slipped like no other. So i chanced it and drove it back to portland. It made it no problems in 3rd gear topped @ 60mph no sweat and have been driving it back and forth to work for the past year.

Here is what it looked like when i got it:

  • deesracerdeesracer Wagonist
    I guess the rear quater panel had severe damage to it at one time and it was pulled and filled with bondo.... :shock:
    so off to the parts yard and found another wagon with a clean qtr....

    test fitted and secure ready to go

    Ohyeah along with the new qtr i seen a 91 ex and took the whole chassis harness from headlight to taillight along with all the power locks and windows

    Im impressed! You did the body work yourself? Im in the process of tearing mine apart to...got the motor out last week and sold it the next day haha. Now im building an ls to throw in there! I cant wait to actually get done with paint and body!

    Looks Great so far! Want to see more! Did you SEM on the interior?
  • deesracerdeesracer Wagonist
    yes i did all the body work myself in my garage.....tight little space but got it done and then went to the booth.


    and then yes i went sem on the interior paint because all the other stuff i have used over the years have scraped of or rubbed off. This stuff sticks no matter what but of course you have to prep and clean it.

    Impressive work on your wagon! Nice to have another local member. You should make it out to one of the meets. I'd like to see your wagon in person after everything is done haha.

    So with these ef/ee chassis turbos and radiators don't mix so they modded mine by making it narrower and made a bracket

  • deesracerdeesracer Wagonist
    thanx i wish it would hurry up and get done up there. I really wish it was a 4wd so i can have some real fun this winter
  • rbwdrivenrbwdriven Senior Wagonist
    I have the same issue with mine.

    A friend of mine did all the work to the roof and now I'm not keen on actually putting a rack on it.

    Looks great.

    Love white wagons.
  • deesracerdeesracer Wagonist
    it started out as a simple build but i suppose i had alot of crap laying around in my garage so mine as well use it
  • 90shuttle90shuttle Senior Wagonist
    This build is TITS! Keep it up, it makes me want my wagon done already!!
  • deesracerdeesracer Wagonist
    i'm going...got more pics to load up soon..
  • bigwillystylebigwillystyle New Wagonist
    This is turning out to be an amazing build! The car's too clean for a roof rack, sell it, and keep searching for pods.
  • deesracerdeesracer Wagonist
    So i got my new intercooler mounted and ready to go to the dyno
