NORTHWEST 88 RT4WD - Photo heavy

So I've been on the forums for a while now and never got around to making my build thread so I guess its about time haha. And my introduction thread can be found here with some random info and pictures http://www.hondacivicwagon.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=7523.
So my story is I had a 91 legacy wagon before but it finally died after beating it to death and was on the search for a new car. At first I was just going to get a civic sedan and a friend reminded me that there were civic wagons (I have a wagon fetish haha) so I decided to just go for one instead. So I finally acquire one with the help of said friend. It's a 1988 RT4WD with a bum motor and some battle damage with bits of rust but nothing super crazy. My friend was able to rebuild the motor for me and I've just been trying to fix the little things ever since. Like I said in my introduction thread I have a very basic knowledge of cars but still working on it. I haven't really done anything to it besides put on some bottlecaps and an exhaust. On to the pictures!
Then (in chronological order):

So that's pretty much it. Replaced a bunch of stuff that needed fixing and have just been using it as my daily. I'm hoping to drop it on some better wheels in the future because the ride height is crazy high but we'll see how it goes, kind of want to get an auto with power options now haha.
Look at that big ol' booty
And a shot from the Portland meet prior to getting my lens.
we're kind of a big deal.
Ledler: You did see this wagon every day when you drove your blue wagon! Haha. I'm still going to Clark and have daily classes. There's like 3 different blue wagons that I've seen regularly at Clark too. Which one was yours? My wagon is easy to recognize because of the stickers. NW on the back and the green heart in washington one on the front.
Thanks man. Its coming along pretty good. I was gonna start saving for another wagon. But i think a Ruckus would be a better idea since I'm starting school and won't be able to afford gas. what else do you plan on doing to your wagon??
