New Owner near Ft. Bragg NC

Band Wagon
Not my first Honda, but I wanted a wagon this time to be able to carry my dogs around. I got this car to keep the miles off of my Ram Sport 4x4 and to save on some gas, which is ironic since im spending so much on the project that I would probably break even had I not bought it. Oh well.
I got it from a kid that was the 2nd owner (I think) and it isnt in as bad of shape as some I have seen with less miles; this one has over 300K. He cut the muffler off and cut to coils so I have to rectify that issue.
I put the roof rack on today and remote mounted a larger battery in the rear. I have a lot of audio stuff from having had 3 civics, 2 ridgelines and a S2000CR over the years so it will have BT, JL Audio all around and an alarm. I saved the bike racks from my last Ridgeline so thankfully Ill have that capability with this nugget.
Future plans are to clean the bejesus out of the interior, and to repair a few flaws: anyone got a blue center Heater vent? what about a driver seat without bolster tears (HA)
Soon it will have some 17's on it and some GSR struts with Tein Gold springs, Integra front brakes and a new muffler.
I am in the process of building a mini-me swap with a 91 Si bottom, 94 Vtec head. Oh, and of course there will be much ebay knock-off awesomeness used.
When I got it:
Body issues:
Interior Issues:
New wheels and tires:
This is what 300k+ looks like:
swap in progress and parts:
Roof Rack with my Ridgeline Bike carriers installed:
Anyway, lots to do to make this a daily...
