The Big Comeback

So I made this account a little over a year ago in anticipation for my first Honda/Wagon I was gonna buy. But like most people on Craigslist, he flaked. So I went a different route, but my love for wagons and their view on the Honda scene still intrigued me.
After the wagon flaker, I bought a 1991 Honda civic STD for $800. I loved that car it was my first for everything. Swapped the motor, the existing motor had a blown head gasket so I swapped in an a6. Cleaned the crap out of it because the previous didn't give a sh*t about it. So with all my hard work, I posted it up just testing the waters and I got an offer I couldn't refuse. I ended up selling it for $1800. Still regret it to this day.
So in between these past months I owned and sold a few Honda's. Until I have my fleet now. My car back home is a 2000 Honda Civic Si and my daily driver is a 1993 Honda Civic Cx. And now the reason I'm back. This Friday I am finally gonna purchase my beloved wagon. A 1991 Civic wagon, but no 4wd. But it's still a dream car.
I am currently attending Wyotech for automotive technology, and I graduate in December. So these first few months are gonna be slow. But I promise big things in the near future.
The car is in pretty good shape, head gasket changed 3 months ago, and he says the water pump has also been changed recently. There is one rust spot, but I'm not worried about the here's a pic of the car and the rust spot, more pics coming soon.

    Not bad from the exterior view ugly rust shot below it... Sounds like you haven't gotten it, correct? If so, I hope you do, seems like your dead set on it already. Like I was on mine & I got lucky and bought it 3 days ago, when I had no communication with the seller for 1 week!! Yet I was dead set on that wagon only, had a gut feeling that was it, same as my 1988 CRX Si. So I had ended going with the flow, getting rid of my daily driver (sold my ZC SOHC + D16a6 Si tranny both out from my 1988 CRX Si) and ended up luckily getting in contact that very night I sold my engine/tranny, when the next day I needed a car for my job, such luck oddly exists i suppose?? ...Anyways, update us with more info when you pick it up, hopefully this seller ain't a flake and wish the best of luck to you

    As for that 2000 Civic Si and 1993 Civic CX post up a few pics till you get your wagon! Love to see 'em
