17 year '91 Civic wagon owner

Band Wagon
Hi all. We bought our '91 Civic 5 spd manual 2wd wagon (named Babar) in April 1995, and have loved it ever since, though maybe haven't shown it as much love as many of you. It's bone stock, except the center console and CD player, and has 169K miles (and a head gasket seep since 55K miles).
It sent us a message last summer in the form of a broken timing belt, but luckily we were only going about 25 at the time, pushed in the clutch and pulled right over. Miraculously, there was no internal motor damage--all the valves were straight. Put in a new belt and water pump and it's been chugging along ever since.

Any plans that you have for you ride, are there any other pictures of the car that you want to share. Maybe even the center console???? I wish you the best on your wagon.
The first 13 years were basically oil changes/tune-ups. Then came the clutch, radiator, master brake cylinder, clutch pedal, rear hatch hinges, rear hatch lifters--you guys know the drill--these are 20+ year old cars and need some love.
