Oxbeards Wagon!

just now starting a build thread. ive had my wagon a little over a year now and my wagon barely looks any different lol
i just put some xb steelies on it with chrome trim rings and baby moon hub caps... looks a tad better.
all four wheels and tires - $20 on cl... FUCK YEA
hub caps - $35
trim rings -$45
ended up being a pain in the ass just getting the wheels and hub caps on the car. i had to have little nubs welded onto the wheel for the hub caps to snap on to and it still isnt right... only 1 fits tight, the other 3 wiggle around a lot. And as it turns out, the center bore for xb wheels is 2mm smaller than the civic. didnt seem like it would be too much work, but it took hours of grinding with a dremel.
here are pics. the wheels still need to be cleaned up some. im thinking of painting them a creamy white. also... lol at my crappy bodywork. bondo and sanding frustrates the crap out of me.
with baby moon centers
without
yes, pics are dark and crappy. maybe i can take better ones tomorrow.
soon this thread will fade out of memory, as i am broke and cant do sweet mods on my car all the time...
or maybe it wont and ill just do super cheap things to it and youll all get tired of seeing my turd wagon lol

wagon covered in snow last year. this is hella rare in tx
eg sedan in snow
yea?
i found this guy that semi put it in the center
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=11077
would look better with dual tip and a modified lip to go around it.
this is in my plans for the future
installed new speakers all around.
4x 6.5" polk audio
2x 10" jensen subs in bandpass box
1 600w legacy amp
sounds pretty good for a loowww budget system
spent about $140 for everything
our wagons really like to rattle... >_> i started putting some peel n seal on the door panels. later ill put some dense foam in there too
and ive decided it is essential to have a nice system in our wagons. it drowns out all the noises it makes that its not supposed to
another thing is...
in the last 4 days ive left my lights on 3 times and drained my battery lol. i know im retarded
when i leave for work its dark and when i get there its light... so i dont notice it
to save myself from my own stupidity i installed a relay so the lights shut off when you turn the car off
i cant think of a single reason id need the lights on without keys in the car...
the camera always comes out in the snow.
oh you can kinda see my gangsta ass steering wheel in this pic.
back to the future...esque eh? lol
cool pattern on the wheels
btw day before yesterday it was 70 degrees... today... its been 18 all day
