Project War Wagon

Posting this for a friend over at Honda Rescue Garage, https://www.facebook.com/Honda-Rescue-Garage-864945280295206/. 1991 Civic Wagon, AKA War Wagon. He'll be on shortly for any questions. His plans are to begin making parts to lift Hondas instead of just lowering them. He has lift blocks already for 88-01 Civic, CRX, Integra, CRV. Check it out.

For those who love cliffs here it stands now at 16" ground clearance

    Love what you are doing with the interior! this is amazing.
  • Dash-N-CarsDash-N-Cars Senior Wagonist
    Quick question on the snorkel, all home made? Looks like PVC and maybe some intake couplings? I'm going to be building one soon. Was thinking about chopping up a land cruiser kit and using it, but I may just go the PVC route.
  • Ready for Honday Day this weekend. If anyone is near, the War Wagon will be on display this weekend at Zmax Dragway in Concord, North Carolina.
