Kyle10182 -- going to pick up my wagon this weekend

Band Wagon
Right now i own a 1992 honda civic cx with a jdm gsr swap, and a 1991 acura integra ls with a jdm b20 swap. the integra is a total beater, and i've been looking for a wagon to replace it with. I want a wagon because they are more functional. i'm looking for a four door and the extra cargo room is a huge bonus.
I've been building hondas for a little while, and i've always prefered the older ones. My biggest and best build was a 1991 CRX with a K20Z1 swap.
i found a fwd wagon with real low miles owned by a 69 year old lady. she said the wagons name is Harriet and I plan to keep that name because this lady is in love with the car and seems real sad to see it go. But she said it's time for her to splurge on a new car for herself. she says she will hold the car for me until I can get the money from my bank and get there with my busy schedule.
right now my only situation i have is that it's an automatic. she says the transmission is real smooth but I prefer a manual transmission. My options are to take my b20 swap from my integra and scrap the integra or should i stick with the D-Series and just change the transmission. I don't think the 92 horsepower or whatever will be enough to keep me interested though so i'd eventually like to upgrade to a d16z6 or some b-series.
so i'm posting here to introduce myself and start getting your opinions. i'll post pictures in a build thread when i start doing some things.

Now i'm looking for a nice D-Series upgrade for this wagon. definately AT LEAST need to change the trans out to a 5speed. maybe if i find a CRX Si trans i'll stick with the 92 horsepower for awhile?
I replaced the shift selector switch today, and it seemed to work well in my quick check. hopefully i'll find someone to buy it when i swap over to manual.
speaking of which, i started doing some price research and i think an ls swap is the best bang for buck for me right now. and i was going to make this car my first d-series swap. but since i need a transmission even if i stay d-series and the only d-series swaps im interested in are obd-1 and obd-2, an OBD-0 ls swap is the best bet. the car is so slow. dangerously slow actually so a swap is definately in order around spring time.
Also, i've started gathering parts for an LS swap. this 92 horsepower is not good enough. here's my price list that i made. if the field is empty, i haven't found anything or bought anything yet. if it has 0 thats what i actually spent or planned to spend. this is also to convert to 5-speed and mpfi
little dissapointed with the power output from the d16 but i think ill get used to it. i think with this gearing i need more torque.
also working on getting a/c working again.
so whats the chance u can make it to the meet.. viewtopic.php?f=33&t=13449
