New Wagonist
Alright guys, ive been lurking these forums for over a year now and recently picked up not one, but two wagons. Cheap, problematic wagons... 
My name is Ricky, I have been building/drawing/taking apart cars since I was a child. I grew up in the middle of our local oval track (Stockton 99) and I don't remember not having a wrench in my hand as a child. I'm engaged to a great gal who loves cars as much as I do, and I have an amazing 8 month old daughter, Camber LeAnn
I've owned well over 100 cars, and my desire to build something different than the crowd here has lead to 13 second n/a dodge neons, 14 second saturns, an 86 Toyota van with a starion engine, factory turbo, and everything from broncos, v8 s10's, supercharged grand ams, my ae86 corolla, and my random motorcycle projects along with about 12 volkswagens... These are my 2nd and 3rd hondas, my girls '84 3rd gen started me decent into Honda ownership. But it had to be different...
I now own an 88 rt4wd, which I tow dolly'd 8 hours back behind a stock 4spd ef hatch
And I bought my girl's 89 2wd two days ago.
I will be making build threads for both of these soon, along with all the pics (I too am a pic whore)
Just wanted to drop a line and say hi now that I'm frequenting the boards! Great group here, seems like very little drama

Man, tow dolly'd behind an EF hatch?? hahaha That's awesome man. True dedication!\.
I'm glad there's another wagonist on board. I am pretty late in the game as well so I hope to contribute and take into account what people like you, who have been building cars for years, can teach me about how to truly put some real work into the car.
Can't wait for the build thread. Welcome!
I would love to, but I work at 2... Where at exactly? You guys meet up often?
I go up and down the valley every other week,
I do see a Wagon parked from the 99hwy, when I pass through the modesto area.---
next time when you on the 99, look out for a parked wagon at the modesto area.
I have seen it consistently.. Seems to me that the owner is working within the area.
On a side note, I did get my rt4wd running! Resistor box... And right now (2:45 am) I just removed my pedal assembly and welded some bracing on it. Reinstalling it now, hoping to drive her tomorrow!!
No mods yet... But I do need to upload pics, so I will be doing so later tonight. All my precious messages have been off y iPhone hence my lack of pics. I have uploaded them to photobucket, so now I jut need to upload to the laptop and here. Soon guys, I promise! (i know i know, pics or ban!)
And my 2wd is running like sh!t... Be working on that after the rt pedals are in, since it blocked in until morning... Night guys!
