    Welcome! Doesn't look like the damage is too severe, mine was in similar shape when I got it.
    Just keep an eye on craigslist and the local junkyards, you'll be all set in no time.

    yeah called a guy about his crx he was parting cuz i need a left headlight but he had halos but 50 bucks didn't sound bad at least it would be a step closer to daily driver the main thing is battery, lights, and radiator maybe an si-r bumper if he still has it

    Welcome, not bad for the price. Hope you find all the parts you need!
  • GREYGREY New Wagonist
    Congrats, im looking at getting one up in Centennial.
  • wago_90wago_90 Wagonist
    really its hard trying to find these things here i wish i lived in WA still i saw em all the time and for cheap
    good luck man
    i found some crx si headlights and i talked the guy to 25 for the pair
    and a guy called me bout 2 radiators one from a 95 d16 so it should fit up
    got a new battery too
    and this weekend i should have it running hopefully
  • wago_90wago_90 Wagonist
    orange powder coated valve cover i picked up for 15 bucks
    cleaned it up and grinded the powder coating off the letters and emblem to make it stand out
    it tturned out ok for my first time
    probably put it on tomorrow while starting to fix the damage with parts i got for a steal

    Welcome to the site.
  • theidealonetheidealone New Wagonist
    If you get tired of fixing it, lemme know. LOL. I have an auto that I dont wanna fix. I want a 6 speed!!!! :D

    Good luck with everything. It looks like an awesome find.
  • wago_90wago_90 Wagonist
    don't think i will get tired unless i run into something monumental but i got it from the same owner of 19 years
    and its all original 167k

    :mrgreen:
  • wago_90wago_90 Wagonist
    wen to the junk yard to see about a radiator cuz the one from the 95 civic was too tall
    no luck
    but i did get this yakima roof rack complete set up for $13
    a jetta lip and some rear rodeo speaker boxes for $15
  • bam-bambam-bam Council Member
    Good stuff! That's quite a score on the rack.
  • slo88crxslo88crx Senior Wagonist
    Yo roof rack for $13 LUCKEY! GL with bringing it back to life, don't give up they are so much fun to drive!
  • wago_90wago_90 Wagonist
    yeah i was stoked when the guy at the junker said 13

    but at least its running and driveable just can't lock the hood down so i've tied it

    anybody ever bonded a car title because the guy i bought it from stopped on the communication for getting another title since he misplaced the original after copying it and i paid for it
  • Fl.boostEEdFl.boostEEd New Wagonist
    i had to get a title for my civic that i traded for my wagon and the ppl were beating around the bush. its a pain in the butt. But i think you can do a title search at the dmv but idk how that works. and cool wagon. i wish mine was 4wd

    ok it might be more of a pain since the original title is from new mexico
    i thought it would be easy for him since he was the original owner for 19 yrs and i was paying for the duplicate all he needed to do was sign but i guess ill have to do it the hard way
  • Fl.boostEEdFl.boostEEd New Wagonist
    no you can pay for a duplicate but he'll have to go with you to do it...

    thats the thing i was gonna pay for it and he said he would go to the dmv but he stopped answering my calls i might just drop in on him cuz i still have his plates i need to give back then just talk to him in person
    its just getting to be a headache and i'm tired of driving with plates from another car with current tags
    so thats why i was gonna get the title bonded
  • btbammerbtbammer Wagonist
    Yours looks like mine did when I first got it!!

    Be patient if you don't have parts already. It took me months to find a hood, dr. Fender, cornerlighys and wagon bumper/lip.

    Don't give up! And score on the rack as many have said. You obviously have luck on your side.
  • bigwillystylebigwillystyle New Wagonist
    Why would you post in a thread thats 2 years old? Someone should lock this before more nonsense continues.
  • btbammerbtbammer Wagonist
    I know I realized that after the fact!

    How embarrassing. :(
