    It's love of hate, haha, thanks. That's no fun not getting any snow. How far would you have to go to find some ya think?
  • I'm now shooting with a little bit better camera. Got a Nikon L610 for Christmas. Hopefully I can learn some more about it and shooting.
    Very grateful that the road wasn't like this.

  • So I'm sure this has been answered before but I'm a bit confused. I have been under the impression that my 1989 Wagon is indeed a Wagovan. It only has the driver side mirror and came with nothing snazzy. I guess I don't have a lot to make me think that but don't all the Dx Wagons come with a pass side mirror?
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    No,sir. The right mirror was strictly an option, even on the RT4wd.

    If your car were a wagovan, it would have vinyl seats and door panels, and a solid bench rear seat. Wagovans also had the horizontal bars (jailbars!) in the rearmost side windows.

    Wow! Pretty much the only option anyone buying one actually got. I guess the people who bought mine didn't even want that! Okay thanks Bam! Seen a few wagons with that odd looking vinyl interior and one with jailbars. Didn't know that's what signified it as a Wagovan. What were the jail bars for?

    Opinions differ on that. Either to protect the glass from cargo, or maybe tiedowns? They were supposed to be light commercial vehicles.

    Other options:air conditioning, mudflaps, lower console, carpet floormats,underseat tray, window visors, rear speaker pods...

    Lol so whoever bought my car from the dealer got A/C but no pass side mirror. I don't mind not having a mirror at all, I always blind spot check anyways. Not really a blind spot check though, more or less choosing a window to look out of. I luckily found a set of non RT rear flaps. The hunt continues for more goodies. My buddy got me a bitchin' Christmas present thats on its way. Edm rear tails!!!
  • Great looking car! Sandstorm is a great color I painted my crx that color

    Thanks guy! Any pics of the Rex?
  • Just did a little combo and put a 95 civic sedan armrest in my car, but left the oem front piece. Not the cleanest install in the world but it looks pretty good. Its really not that hard to do either and imo its better than the factory optional ones. Pics up tomorrow friends!
  • Got a new pass side door on and primered. Love my car a lot more now. Here's some pics!

    It's a whole easier to like the car when its panels are convex instead of concave! Did you ever snap some pics of the center console / armrest combo? I have thought about doing something similar.

    Looks much better:encouragement: also looks like you have a nice shop to work in..

    Hahahaha it is! No I will post a pic up today for you though. My starter might have went out so Ill be out messing with it for a bit.

    Thanks Cody! That's my friend Brett's shop and any chance I get to use it I am extremely grateful. That crane in the back was very handy when we dropped the D15b in!

    Took a couple pics for you. I'd grab another stock wagon center console before you try it because you'll be cutting yours in half. Haha, unless you find a better way. Used my front piece and left tabs on it so when I bolt the back down in the middle it secures the front as well. Little off color and bugs me a bit but I love having an armrest and kind of even use it as a cupholder, hahaha.

  • Decided to get more of the Wagon in primer. Nicer weather soon means paint!


    Masking and sanding.

    First light coat after an hour of rubbing my car with paper that has sand(?) glued to one side.

    That looks pretty damn good for an armrest that wasn't supposed to go in a wagon. I wouldn't mind the color difference at all.

    I hate to ask cause I feel like I should know, but what wheels are those? I want to say they are OEM Honda but I can't remember what from...
  • Yeah the Eg armrest fits pretty nice. Try it man! The wheels are 83 Honda Access optional sport wheels for the Accords. Wish they were 14's at least but they're pretty light. I tried to find a pic in a brochere or something but I can't.
  • Looks way better in person. Way to save a wagon! Are you going Saturday?

    I plan on it if I find an armrest at the junkyard. Ah, nice. 14's would be nice but I like'em anyways.
