1991 Honda Civic WAGON INTRO/BUILD! woot

Well I purchased a 1991 civic wagon back in november before my surgrey and I just now got started on it.

Its a completly bone stock wagon with 242,000 miles, no rust, paint is in very good condition, has brand new tires, new clutch, runs and drives great. Everything works on it, including the AC! I bought it for only $400 dollars!

Only bad thing about it is the front fenders. They have big dents on both of them. Didn't have passenger side corner or bumper light. I finally found a bumper light and corner light which was ordered today. Oh and it being VERY nasty

Everything that will be done:

-JDM License plate relocator
-I <3 Old Skool License plate frame
-JDM WINK 5 panel rear view mirror
-I <3 Old Skool sticker
-Circuit Hero Shift knob
-10k HIDS
-NRG yellow brights
-Yellow Fogs
-Blox red lugnuts
-EF side marker lights
-15" White Rota Slip wheels with Red pinstripe lip
-Whole Car re-sprayed Championship White (bumpers and all sprayed to match)
-Red penstripe throughout middle of car
-2000 SI front seats
-1994 Integra LS armrest
-Amber corners
-Amber bumper lights
-Lowered on H&R springs with Tokico fully adjustable struts
-New exhaust with OEM EP3 muffler
-Injen Intake

This car was absoubtly disgusting when I got it. It still is actually, but looks TONS better.

Here's some pics I have of it before and after a little clean up.

Will post pics as it comes along. (no job right now, since surgrey) so it might take a while

Hope yall enjoy the build as this will be my new daily, so I can start on my k24 build for my em1
=====================================

Very first day I got it, NASSTTYYY

    Looks like a solid start. Both of mine were in a similar state at the beginning, it just needs TLC.

    Looking forward to seeing your progress at Import Alliance in July!

    Thanks a lot man.

    Yeah it def. needs TLC. After getting the body work on the fenders done, Im taking out all the seats and carpet. Cleaning the piss out of everything, modding the SI seats in and re-dying the carpet back to OEM color.

    but of course I'll have pics of everything!

    and I can't wait untill IA!

    Well I can already tell you that I am going to strip this baby pretty clean and put all the good parts I can on mine and what I don't need I will keep for extras for the most part.

    but whatever is left and Im not going to use, I will def. sell

    if your gonna keep the paint color try claybaring it with meguiars claybar kit. and then use a nice polish and wax. should feel good.

    i'm so jealous of these cheap wagons it seems like everyone is finding. i'm sure it's because i'm new to them and i jus haven't been lookin long enough.
    i paid 1000 for one with no engine. i am hooked though. i already want another one.

    Though if i were you, throw a B in that man!

    okay guys, little bit of an update. I have been having the hardest time getting a truck and a trailor at the same time and there were other ppl trying to get the entire front end/parts off the wagon too, but luckly the guy kept saying it was sold. So, today I was like screw it, i'll drive out there and pay for it and get a title/bill of sale and at least I know its mine. So thats what I did today. I did take pictures of it at this guys house. So, heres what the new wagon looks like.

    Super clean interior (front seats, carpet) Rear seats..eh..its wagovan rear seats. Front clip is in MINT condition!!! =) so is rear of car!

    k on with the pics..

    The best $150 dollars could ask for lol

    Hood is popped

  • slo88crxslo88crx Senior Wagonist
    Heck yea a hurst shifter, custom center console, no brake pads!! Good parts wagon or fixer upper!! Good find i wish i only paid that for mine!
  • haha that console is sooo getto !!!!!!!
  • WagonWagon Wagonist
    LOL, this wagon will DEF. be a stripper wagon lol

    and as far as that center consol goes that would be his custom stereo system the old man rigged up. It also had an extra 12 volt plug in..i'll take better detail pics of this fabulous custom stereo system when I get the car in my hands lol
