1991 Honda Civic WAGON INTRO/BUILD! woot
Wagon
Wagonist
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
Old Skool License plate frame
-JDM WINK 5 panel rear view mirror
-I 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
how disgusting the outside was!! (yeah its suppose to be white paint) lol
and AFTER 2 HUGE bags of trash/ cleaning up doritoes for 30mins
We have some what of a clean car. Took me 3 hours to clean JUST the dash and two front door panels, and its still not clean.
AFTER a wash- Took good hour n half just to clean it a little bit. Still needs LOTS of work on cleaning
YES the carpets are vaccumed, lol - Its just that dirty!
"clean" carpet lol
AS it sits RIGHT NOW- doing fender work/getting lip to fit onto bumper!!
How horribly beat up the fenders are- I have A LOT of work to do on these things..
Sneek Peek of suspension! woot!
Enjoy and comments are always welcome! Please no hating though.

well we know thats not a good thing
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!
Def. will be switching out interior,fenders,corner lights pretty much A LOT of stuff mine was needing help on TLC wise. Im pretty excited!
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.
keeping an eye to this thread
much appreciated man!
and yeah I am def. going to keep this color, but Im not going to do any clay baring untill I re-spray the whole car etc.
I know its soo gross, I couldn't imagine what there house looks like?!
i always wonder that too when i see garbage like that.
good work so far.
and yeah a lot more work will DEF be into play this weekend when I get my donor car all stripped out. Woot can't wait!
thanks a lot giirrlll!!! lol
yeah I can't wait to start on some more progress with the wagon. Can't wait for it to be done, its gonna look sharp!
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.
LMAO
Hellz yeah! That's how I feel about mine too.
dang man 1,000 with no engine? thats a little insane, Im getting one with an engine/more mint than the one I got now for $150 dollars lol. Sorry not to rub in the face, im just uber excited!
Though if i were you, throw a B in that man!
Super clean interior (front seats, carpet) Rear seats..eh..its wagovan rear seats. Front clip is in MINT condition!!!
k on with the pics..
The best $150 dollars could ask for lol
Hood is popped
Side is a little rough, but im not using the doors anyways, so its all good.
front seats and carpet in super good condtion!!
Oh and yes that is a hurst shifter, 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
I might just have to keep that in my wagon, ha.
thanks a lot man. I can't wait to get started on it. All this snow is in my way dangit !
so i can get an rt4wd up and running from a buddy.... its been sitting long enough....
would u b willing 2 sell that since im sure ur gonna not use the stock motor..... :roll:
YEP i can do that. I actually have like 2 or 3 distributors off of wagons. Idk why, i just do lol
but yeah I'll be taking everything off the motor, but the block since thats what went bad on the motor.
