New wagon in Marietta/Woodstock area

Hi all!
Im now a new owner and a part of the wagon scene. After many years of modding on my eg hatch, ive always wanted an older civic as a new project DD so after considering replacing my current DD (95 civic coupe), i began to look out for some older, but clean hatchbacks. After searching for a few months, i stumbled across this 89 fwd EX caught my eye. The body is very clean considering the year, but the engine and exhaust needs some TLC. I would love to eventually add AC (looks like it has the plumbing thru the firewall and switch on the dash), so will be searching the existing threads for some write-ups and advice. I have AC components from a 95 coupe so hopefully a majority/all of the components will work. If anyone has any advice, direct links or suggestions, Im all ears. Looking forward to it all!

    Welcome aboard! Did you find the car here locally? Looks good.

    As far as the EG AC parts fitting, I doubt it. Maaaaybe the compressor?

    Still have some cleaning to do. Engine bay is oily and need to bomb it with some cleaner to get it clean and then will get it up on jack stands to find the oil and small coolant leak, and to address the god aweful rattling/raspy exhaust and decide what I can salvage and weld in an inline cat in order to attempt getting an emission test.

    Chuck- will get some interior pics posted later this evening after work.
    Bam- had to go to SC to get this one.

    Thanks!

    Its obviously not a 4wd, maybe its a dx or wagovan. Whats the key features to distinguish between the later 2?
