My '89 wagon, Hank

I should probably start out by saying that this is going to be a painfully slow process. I just bought a house and this guy's just my daily. I've been building a DB8 GS-R for a couple, 5, years now that takes priority over this build.

Mods not pictured include:
Enkei EK82 15x6.5, currently on 205/50 15s but I have a new set of 165/55 Federal 595 EVOs waiting to go on
Tein S-Tech springs (chopped)
Sprint rear shocks for hatch/sedan
OE Integra front shocks
extended top hats
Legend/ITR/Prelude calipers
Brembo front rotors,
AEM front pads
15/16" master cylinder
Apex stainless lines

He definitely isn't a looker but I couldn't ask for a more practical/economical daily driver.

On to the pictures!

Passenger's Side isn't as bad as the rest but still not pretty

Driver's side doors are both trashed and puttied

Faded hood and Chi-weasel guard dog. I do have a minty front bumper to replace this one.

    Optional console I scored at an overpriced junkyard. They have 3 wagons though so I still go back haha
    Ford Taurus cup holders and coin tray, I just hope my CD player fits in the lower slot because the cup holders don't

    Ghetto booty, illest/steelers sticker I had a buddy make. Can't really see it but it's got some BS zingy turbo muffler that came on it

    EM Racing quick release c-pillar bar, extended top hats, dirt

    Driver's seat is blue and CRUSTY but the car came with a tiny Tenzo seat that squished my prostate on the way back from picking him up so I had to ditch it ASAP. I'm 6'5 and I weigh 300 lbs. Corbeau is the only company I've found that make seats for people of my stature.

    Old MOMO wheel, actually made in the same year as the car. I started to refinish it but fell in love with the crusty look. I think it matches the ratty look of the car. I'll finish it if it ever starts to look out of place. Also pulled the Circuit Hero shift lever extender off of my teg.

    134K on the ticker but it hasn't worked while I've had the car and for who knows how long before that. It's probably the speedo cable but I'm a broke-ass and it will have to wait.

    Missing a speaker cover. I have a blue one that came in the car but it's either warped or from a 90-91 because it doesn't fit well at all. Rest of the interior isn't terrible. It has a couple burn holes, missing "grommets" that go around the knobs on the rear seats. Car came with 2 broken knobs that I replaced with pieces out of a CR-V. I actually like them a lot better because they're taller, bigger and haven't been cooked by the sun for 20+ years.

    Please feel free to hit me suggestions/comments/questions. Any feedback is appreciated.

    I traded my center console for a hood and some cash at import alliance. That cash bought these speaker pods at a junkyard in the Nashville area.

    been quite a while since I posted anything but I've made lots of progress in the last few months. I pulled the old engine out and tucked everything in the engine bay. also prepped and painted the new engine (b18b1). Im waiting to solder in the RyWire harness and Ill be ready to put the engine in.

    Inside the car, I've taken every panel out and cleaned them with tooth brushes, deep cleaned and pressure washed the carpet and back seat, made brackets and installed my Corbeau TRS seats, and mounted the Optima battery in the rear.
