Two buddies came over with a goal to get it running.
I went to get gas in the gas can for it.
Got a call it runs.
Probably would of run first time but we plugged in the pm5 back in versus the pm6.
Once that was figured out started.
Need to adjust clutch cable
weld on exhaust bung to connect to exhaust pipe
get speedo cable (it came with a long one and a short one) the inside part
fix interior leak ( got a little pond going on)
put interior back together where I was pulling out the led lighting display that the po had in there.
air intake snorkle
Decided to mess with wagon last night before the pounding of storms.
We did not have a tach feedback the other day.
Found out why.
Why in the hell would you pull all the fuses from the fuse box.
I'm now trying to figure out all the fuses and what sizes.
I've got most of them figured out but 4, they are hanging off the fuse box panel. Like auxilliary ones. Almost like the power window setup.
Also looked in back area got a lake at the rear seat floor board. Sat with the hose on the front windshield. Found it dripping through the cowl panel going in somewhere and dripping on to the blower motor assembly then from there on to the floor board.
Now to trace that one down.
I'm sure I have a nice lake back there due to all the storms we got.

I feel your pain. I just spent $800 getting the windshield seal area repaired (required replacing windshield when the old one took most of the metal out with it :shock: ) and some A-pillar cancer filled. I would have inch-deep puddles after a hard rain
Check the antenna for leaks while you're there. It can leak and the water will run down the inner side of the roof to the B-pillar and from there down into the rear floor pans.
The blower motor box isn't gasketed to keep water out. If you can see daylight up through there,then that black cover you mentioned is missing. I ran into this same scenario on rev's car.

Time for an interior swap!
No plans on painting the wheels. Gives it a little character.
Yep as soon as I get the car running and then emissioned I'll be hollaring.

I'll probably do some after church.
Cuttin' up stuff.
Do you know what is the correct length for the speedo cable?
I have two inner ones but one is too long and the other is short.
I was possibly gonna try one from a hatch and see kind of thing.
All depend what I get up to today.
Might be a car work day or a cooking day.
Not sure what right now.
Need to weld that up.
Found wire forgot to plug in.
Found an intake that will work. Needs cleaning though since it was at PAP on a parts car.
Redid stereo harness when P.O. attached speaker wire to drive rear amp.
Took off cowl panel and cleaned. Siliconed little panel.
made sure all grommets are in place.
lengthened throttle body valve wire.
Last but not least fired it up again. Lots quieter. I'm guessing once I weld it up will be even better.
Things to do:
Battery hold down bracket.
weld exhaust
speedo cable
air intake
clean out little lake in rear floor
put on da lip versus ef9
emission, tag and insurance
then air condition ing.
I had it laying round from my old sedan.

I know on my hatch there is a little black panel over the wiper linkage and another one over the center wiper.
Is there one on the center wiper of the wagon?
I can't remember if I saw one.
I also found my leak.
it was the gasket around the blower motor box.
Or shall I say what was left of it.
I have some gasket material so I used that.
I pulled the glove box and looked up and I could see light.
That is about all I got.
Ac stuff sitting in the front seat.
But exhaust done and EF9 lip swapped for DA lip.
thank you.
Helped a buddy do an interior swap in his sedan.
Wife was running getting ready for emergency trip back home.
So I atleast got to do one with the wagon.
Installed brand new factory window regulator.
Wow no effort at all.
Took the wagon to get emission since I decided to put insurance on it.
Well that was fun. On the drive I could feel all the rust scraping off the rotors every time I hit the brakes.
Got to the emission place. Sorry machine broke, went to another one.
Guy came back in the office 10 minutes later.
Sir your car has sprung a leak.
The radiator took a dump on me.
Well back to the drawing board.
Drove home with heat on high.
Got out my radiator from my civic and threw it in.
Waited for kids to get home. The chilled.
My mum offered to watch the kids while I took the wagon for a run.
All well and truly good not a leak now.
Also put water wetter in there as well.
Now to emission it again.
Had to change top fitting to the block to have the correct flow path for the top hose.
Ran really good after all this.
I need to measure the to the wheel opening on each side and set up the supension side to side.
Got scrubbing going from one side versus another.
Past owner just put them on.
Wagon passed emission. Took 1/2 hr due to exhaust leak but it passed.
almost got a tag on it but due to dad going to get the tag, they said need to get me to fill out paperwork for it.
tag will be tomorrow.
Dad told me NEED a friggin exhaust on it.
So nice and legal.
we were going to register it at a friends house.
