New Wagonist
Im new here to this forum and really enjoying it so far (the whole wagon thing) Got hooked on them, didn't have to look for long for a project and picked up a wagon here locally off of a guy on craigslist. Some attention needed but its a great start. No rust at all plus the guy through in 3 nice doors to replace the once that were dented. Interior is all there and in very clean decent shape, and its grey not blue, that makes me happy. Got 196K miles, Automatic 
Drove the thing home for $500 from Auburn no problems. So here is my build story, will keep updated for you to enjoy. Love to get some feedback and ideas, but don't judge too hard.
Plans I got so far:
-Work on the body. Dents, New paint. Get the body in perfect shape before modding. Moonrock Grey S2000 paint.
-Then work on the suspension. New components Struts, Springs, Bushings, ect... Give it a slammed look, but with a good ride quality.
-Wheels also looking on ideas. Something with a lip, 15's, cheap.
-Once All of that is there, then plans are to do a swap, engine and convert to manual of course. Thinking to go B series non-vtec to keep it cheap and simple, or we'll see.
-More changes on the way of the build...
Check out the pictures, here I just got her home.

I have a strange love for those hub caps.
if you need any help finding anything just hit me up.
I wrecked my old wagon and found everything to fix it.
Not a great start
Went camping, Water tubing, hit the water with my finger flying off of the tube and crumbling in the lake. Ended up with a cast for the whole arm.
Had 2 weeks off work and couldn't do anything, well almost anything.
I see it being the best summer vacation, while all the others in the company pushing mandatory overtime, Im chilling 8)
Heres the work I have done so far.
-Strip her down.
-Got the white doors on
-Cleaned all of the interior from sticky gooyee stuff (spilled coke and who knows what ells)
-Sharpied all of the dings and dents all over the car
-Started to sand down.
So now Im deciding what color to pick, but Im more into a darker grey metallic. Any ideas.
my car showing the color
would be sick!
Hows that gonna look on a squarey boxy wagon???
I would totally consider painting a wagon this color in the future.
i think the honda s2k color idea is good.
or...
(Charb1618: i had an EG hatch just like that, only with a swapped black interior & meshies... wierd.)
So converted my garage into a little body shop...
And already the next day my body buddy got all the dents smoothed out.
Welded the wiper hole and the emblem holes front and back before its too late or forever hold your peace. I want to give it a clean sleek look.
The roof fixing was so easy, I thought were gonna have to dump a gallon of bondo on it. It had 2 big dent ins like somebody sat on it. I took off the inner lining and noticed that the reinforcement rails was pulling the roof down, so I took a knife and cut the adhesive that holds the roof to the rails and the roof just popped back up into its place. SWEET
This one place got me a nice package set up with the paint. I went with the Moonrock Grey (NH-676M) Honda S2000 color. I love it, should turn out nice.
Got her primered
The next is prepping the bumpers. They got lots of nicks and dings in them, so they are all gonna be filled in then primered
I'll keep you updated, Im really exited working on this project, well see how it turns out.
I decided to paint the side skirts, we'll see how that will look on the car when all put back together. If no go then I have a spare set of original black once
Looks great by the way. I will be looking at something shiny and new for my ride in the next year or 2.

I have to post some pictures here, my wagon is actually all painted allready. Im in the prosses of putting it back together.
Still long ways to go but I want to go low with some deep dish low offset wheels. Nothing like 0 offset though, I think thats pushing it.
