Hollywoods slowpoke build

ok so this is my first ever build thread lol this is my 18th car which is horrible i know
so i picked this car up about 2 months ago 1989 RT4WD with 124xxx miles with working AC which i thought was amazing so i with my buddies blessing i took it home with me lol
i dont really have plans for the future as of now just going with it for now


this is what it looked like when i picked it up

i dont have pictures of the interior when i got it but it was fulllllllll of cat hair like if that was the cats room or something so i vacuumed the car for 3 hours took the seats out and got almost all of it out

    havent really dont anything to the wagon been a bit broke and not to mention the
    muffler decided to break off lol permit expired and i need to smog the car. dont know if it will pass either lol
  • MexiChriSMexiChriS New Wagonist
    Valve cover looks beautiful and the car is nice.. Really makes me want this brown Civic Wagon out here
  • These little details are what counts! Like everyone said the valve cover looks great, your interior is in descent condition too, just needs some TLC.
  • Havent done much but today i went for a smog check :/ ended up buying a new cat , and muffler :)
