So I'v owned this wagon for going on 3 years now, I'm the seconed owner. Its my daily driver/shop car for the most part to keep the miles of my Explorer, and have my crx that is my toy. Its been painted for a year now, color is Dupont "Hot Rod Flat Black". Its 2wd so its been rockin the DPFI for the last 297k miles strong but its time to upgrade it. We aquired a build dohc zc from one of my customers, so that what were puttin in, and then throwing alot of boost at it. Were color matching the bay, full wire tuck and partial brake tuck, this is what my shop specializes in. 
this is whats done to the car now:
skunk2 coilovers with, coil concept 700lb drag springs in each corner in the rear.
kyb fully adjustable struts
blox lower control arms
skunk2 dual bend shifter and knob
jdm EF9 front bumper
the wheels almost change monthly lol
and now the fun stuff
The paint is still wet in the pics but its the same color as the rest of the car.
the wheel wells are done with truck bed liner.
The motor thats going in is
Dohc ZC
Head has been ported and polished as far as it can be ported.
SRP Pistions
LS rods, shop peened
all with zero miles
Tranny is fully refreshed with new syncros and lsd
Turbo set up is still being pieced together.
Comments are welcomed!

BTW, wagon looks great. Can't wait to see the engine in that clean bay.
and angle grinder with 1" and 3" pad with fine and course scotbrite pads are my friends. and then lots of sanding by hand getting rid of the excess body filler. our bays are so easy, compared to a customers car that we are finishing up. its a 750hp integra, we did a full color match and wire tuck, and brakeline tuck on it, it took me almost 4 days of sanding to prep the engine bay is so much bigger. lol
benson 2.1L block, full race mani, yada yada yada... goal is 750-800hp on pump gas.
Here is pictures of how my crx used to be, and then i added a jackson racing supercharger, and now its sitting with no motor, and jdm front and K mounts welded in, its all or nothing now
We unloomed the entire engine harness added what we need to add for the mpfi conversion and obd1 conversion. Cut and soldered all the wires to the correct length and hid everything we could. Theres not going to be much you see on this engine once completed. this was fun! lol
Turbo setup, its going to be a custom in-house 2 1/2" downpipe coming off the elbow.
All the good of the clutch and flywheel, and im running a 90 SI tranny with a Quaife LSD.
Bay all taped up and ready to go in, and my brake booster remounted.
In and mounted! That's it for last night.
Probably update again this weekend. now its just a matter up boltin on parts, finishing my down pipe and charge pipe.
And I have lots of parts to bolt on the car in general still. lol
enjoy
Niiiiiiice!
And i think your wag in this black looks awesome!

Flat black is always a good color choice!
