The Accidental Wagon

Band Wagon
With a little bit of luck she won't be stock very long, so might as well start a build thread.
As of last night I am the unreasonably proud owner of a 1990 Wagon. She has 168,000 on the odometer with 20,000 of those miles spent being pulled behind a motor home (not my ideal but oh well, not a deal breaker by any means) with a 5 speed trans and I bought it from my boyfriend's buddy's uncle, who had the owner's manual with receipts/proof of all routine maintenance done since 1990. It's so clean. So, so clean and everything works - even the A/C. Parting with $1,600 for a 25 year old car would have been crazy if it were anything but this certified sex chariot. I've been lusting after a Civic Wagon for a long time but never thought I'd actually find one for a realistic price that wasn't rusted to bits, yet here she is. I found out about this car by pure accident - it was destined to be posted on Craigslist soon, but thankfully I snatched it up before that could happen.
First steps are to clean up the interior/exterior and tint the windows, then comes wheels and tires, and from there I have no idea. I can't wait to tear through this thread and see what my options are for this car. I don't know a ton about 4th gen Civics in general, but I have a feeling that'll change quick.
Just one bad picture for now, gobs more to come once I get off work and have a chance to go picture-crazy.
Stay tuned for shenanigans/chaos/progress.

This wagon looks like a happy accident to me.
