War Wago Omaha, NE. New Owner - j00bles
akaFLiP25
New Wagonist
Picked myself up a 1988 Honda Civic Wagon. D15. DX, not an RT4.
The owner before put her on some cut springs (rides rough as shit), SI steelies, a nice ricer ebay exhaust, no dash, and a lot of rust.
She's pretty ugly n beat up, but what project isnt. Should be a fun project this winter.
Engine Swap, Suspension, Full Interior, then Paint!
Us Nebraska kids dont get the best lookin cars because of all the rust... I looked at a lot of other wagons on here and hopefully one day, my rust bucket can look like your guys's...
Might need some help along the way.
Interiors shot as well. hahah :faint:

Took out the dash this week.
old on the left and new on the right
Progress... slowly but surely :yes: :yes:
Is the H2D kit still for sale, or do you have one already?
I myself have to deal with some nasty rust.
Check her out. viewtopic.php?f=25&t=9044
but yours is probably 90% better than mine if that gives you an image.
The rust has gone through the floor pans in the back, the wheel wells, alllllllll the way down the pinchwelds of the rocker, alllll over the quarters, and surface rust every where... it makes me sad because i really want to make her beautiful..
Eeewww, Mines pretty bad,but??
I was told to just find another one, That made me sad.
Keep us updated.
I say bring HER BACKKKK!
And the dash is pretty disgusting, guy before me didnt care about the wago.. doesnt have any cracks. faded, has some i guess youd say like pop spills on it? but hell, make me an offer
But I think it'll be worth it in the end you'll love it im sure! :P
the only thing with the replacement panels is in Nebraska, there are only 3 wagos in the junkyard, none with good enough quarters. I dont really want to fabricate the metal but it has to be done.
unless anyones got a shell just laying around and they want to send some rear clips my way.
but i really do need to do an engine swap.. she has 339xxx miles on her... any ideas of a cheap one guys?
that was for sure...
Do what you think you gotta do mang
Not what you want...yet
: )
Mines not that bad, but at least your a body guy.
but yeah, the rust is terrible.. i might just weld flat panels and mold the mud to look normal. hahah
But then again thats the UK.. xP
