My Wagon Journey

supremebertosupremeberto Band Wagon
in Rides & Builds- Civic wagons
Whats Sup HCW,

I'm going to start off by saying this.. I bought this wagon for $700.00 with 144,000 Miles(D15B), this is my first car and I was starting college and so eager to Get A Civic ! The guy I bought the car from had a NJ title on it i signed it and he signed and we made the deal. I did check and test drove the car. No i don't no much about cars or if there was even something wrong with this one. But i took the chance and wanted to learn with this car. The reason why i mentioned the title was from NJ was that i went to the dmv and went straight home when i went in. The guy I bought it from needed to send that title when he bought the vehicle to Albany to switch the title to NY. Long story short I waited 4 months for the title to come. At times i did think he never sent the title to the call finally came in that he did. I really didn't know about that but it would have been nice to know at the time. I have the title now and this is my build.. Enjoy :D

This is how the car came .. :)

    I got bord one day while waiting for the title and i went over the white paint with a flat black. I though the wagon will look nice in a flat black, but i didn't like it at all ! I Will be getting a paint job very soon maybe around march/april. I Used Ef sedan corner lights until i found some clean wagon corner lights ! For wheels, im not sure right now and im thinking maybe some konig wheels or xxr's.

    I changed the 2 front lower control arms, as well as the bushings. It was a kit that brang one lower control arm and one bushing for 120.00. i bought two and changed both. My bushings were moving a lot and there not suppose too. Wish i had more pictures to show exactly how they were taken out but my camera wasn't working properly :(

    So far i am waiting on my corner lights to come in along with my passenger side mirror. My fuel and temperature gauge wasn't working in my wagon, so i bought another one in a local junkyard for 42.00. I unplug mine and plugged this one back in and no luck they still wont move :( what could be going on with my fuel and temperature gauge ? any sensors ?

    thats probably what it is...that was my guess due to the ret stitching on it, but i dont like throwing out guesses until i do my research and figure it out haha.
