Converting 1988 CRX to RT4WD

Just joined.
I am restoring a 1988 ED9 CRX Aussie model with D16A8 DOHC engine.
I have acquired a 1988 Civic Wagon with RT4WD. Unfortunately the body and interior are beyond repair so I am using it to convert the CRX in as close to an OEM looking unit as possible.
It will be bored and stroked to 1.8 litre with deck plate and 150mm long rods.and turboed to about 200 to 250 WHP hopefully.
I am here to find out all I can about the RT4WD system and what parts fit and what parts are available and where to get them and what breaks and what holds up and how the weak links can be fixed.
Having played a bit with the wagon now, I also want a stocker or near stocker as daily workhorse, that is if I can find one worth maintaining.

Search member turbo-teg's old threads. He chopped up an RT a few years ago and converted a CRX. I know there's a bunch of info on it here. You'll just have to search a bit.
Good luck!
what colour was your wagon?
(got any pictures of it?)
