Would be easier and cheaper just to start with an RT4WD model.

absolutely anything can be done if you have time and money.

if you don't have a years salary and 1000 hours of free time, start with an RT.

yeah i been looking for one but here in the U.S, where i live in SANTA CRUZ AND SACRAMENTO theres none that i have seen, i been wanting to sell mine , but its still in good shape , just needs some work on the motor, i asked a Honda specialist he wanted 3 grand for the whole overhaul . i only saw a manual for sale for like 1500 in Pismo beach

Yes you can put the RT4wd drivetrain in your car, and you can put the CRV drivetrain in your car also with a B-series motor swap (good luck finding a manual CRV transmission). The Wagon RT4wd is the best way to go, PM turbo_teg, I think he said he has some extra drivetrain parts, maybe enough to get you started. It can be done but it definetly is a time and money issue.

If it were me, Id hold out and find an RT. A project like that will nickel and dime you too death unless you have a wrecked one sitting there with absolutly every piece you need at your disposal. It took me 5 years to find my first wagon, 7 for the second. You has to be patient grasshoppa.

yeah found my first 2wd 5spd for $250 in a junkyard needed a clutch but drove it home kicking myself for selling. #2 $400 2wd auto out the back of some little po dunk repair shop drove home currently my DD. #3 on the way 4wd manual getting it in a trade for work believe it has clutch problems but it will live on. now i've been searching around and thinking about long drives for another some decent AWD's up north.

I actually started to convert my 90 2wd to 4wd. I have a wrecked 88 4wd. When I pulled all of the rear suspension out it was clear that this is a good bit of labor considering that all the floor mounted brackets for the driveshaft ect. are welded to the unibody. Which means a lot of cutting & welding. Not to mention pulling the whole interior out of both cars to avoid burning. Just buy a rt. peace!

i do have spare 4wd parts but it prolly would be a lot easier to just buy an RT even if u have to drive 24 hours
