New Wagonist
Whats up guys?
I'm still relatively new here.
I picked this wagon up a couple of months ago, traded my ef sedan for it because I wanted something different.
Well I'm just now getting to finally starting my first build thread guess ill start from the beginning anyways....
After wrecking my my ef sedan and spending half the winter fixing the bent cross member and frame I ended up trading it off for this wagon got some video of the trade lol..
After that I didn't really do much at first just drive it, I did installed some fog lights
I lowered it down a little more to
What Id like to know is who the heck the last owner of this car decided to sticker bomb this thing all I want for Christmas is a new thumb nail lol
After peeling off all the stickers and a nice scrub I painted the rear bumper with a coat of black spray paint can anyone tell me what this lip on the rear is accord maybe idk
BEFORE
AFTER
Gave her a nice waxing to really need to find a new hood its the only thing that's rattle canned i hate it
I took the volvo lip off to it was dragging to much and I need to restore it anyways
Interiors nothing special id like to try and install some crx seats if i could fit a set
I got to compression testing the d15b7 that's in this thing it has surprisingly good compression
Anyways I'll be pulling this engine out and it will be for sale if anyone close by is interested after searching for weeks and weeks I finally found a b20z picked this long block up for $150
This is my first b series it needs a full rebuild but for the price of the block who can argue its in great shape just has lots of miles I mocked up a few parts on the engine just to see really how ridiculous the giraffe intake manifold is lol
I took the cams out and the head bolts getting ready to pull the head
Not to sure what that crap is between the cylinder sleeve
I picked up another b20z short block locally for $80 that has i gsr oil/water pump and oil lines it was previously a b20 vtec its the block under the table
My buddy's rebuilding a b16a2 for his da right beside my b20
Got the block all stripped down yesterday and mildly cleaned and ready to go to the machine shop I'll take more pics of the block one its done
Anyways that's all for now guys more to come soon I've gotta head to work

Otherwise, looks like a great project. I like what you have planned
Finally found a Da driver side mount bracket had to drive in to Idaho to get it.
Had the last few days off so i put the b20 on the engine stand and started the assembly process just got the block back not to long ago looking fresh
Oiling up the cylinder walls to make reinstalling the pistons easier.
Oem gaskets ftw
Cleaned up the valve cover my buddy gave me, Thinking of repainting in later.
Cleaned and repainted my oil pan to
That's all for now
Two years ago we had a lot more locals at our last meet check it out- ps don't hate on my red rims it wasn't the best idea in hind site lol
And our first one i wanna say around 2008 lol
Kinda unrelated to the build but figured id share with you guys what we do in our small town.
Iv been looking for an old school van size fairing like this since i got my wagon just gotta peel all the stickers off and give it a good scrub should clean up nice
Traded my password JDM license plate relocater for these 89-91 Megan racing lcas, Now i can finally ditch my 88 lcas and struts just need new bushings for these.
