I bought this wago about 80 miles away for $1,400. Guy said it would make it back home no problem (kinda did) made it bout 3 miles then realized it had no coolant. Also when i bought it i noticed a misfire but didnt care cause i was doing the swap anyway (had dead cyl #2) Car has minor rust which will be getting fixed during body work and paint process.

    If you want to disguise it as a Wagovan, keep the bumpers are straight black. :) I've never seen anybody have much luck painting a Honda bumper that isn't fresh out of the parts desk. Once it sees road action the paint bubbles and peels in a few months...

    The chassis seems in good shape, in spite of the fact it got a bit donked out, sadly.

    Post some more pics!
