Jonathan's Wagon Build! Suspension Ordered!!
Jonafin
Wagonist
Hello everyone! My name is Jonathan and I've had my wagon for a few months now, but I havent created a build thread... so here it is! It's gonna be a slow one though. About me, well I go to college part time, and I work at McDonalds, so not a lot of $$$ coming my way haha. I have a 1991 DX Wagon, 5 Speed. Had 128,XXX miles when I got it. Yesterday, returning from the car wash, I hit 132,000! 
My uncle was walking his dog, and spotted this in a parking lot
So, I came over, and we started knocking on the doors of the surrounding houses trying to find the owner, figuring he/she would want to sell, since the inspection stickers expired in 2009. After a few attempts, we found the owners friend, I left my phone number, and that night, she called me. She said she'd be willing to sell it to me tomorrow for $400. I said "Sold!" I was so excited! The next day, I went and looked at it, and the battery was dead, so we started it off a jump, and after two years of sitting outside, it ran! The woman was sick of having it there, so I offered her $300, and she took it! So I drove her, and her 3 kids to the notary, to make the wagon mine!
Drove it a couple blocks, and parked it in the backyard at the house! Thats my other car!
Her kids were so messy! :twisted: But it cleaned up well!
New Brakes!
Cleaned out! With Speaker Pods! But theyre backwards?? Haha
Up on my family's farm..
Had a parts day!
Started sandblasting..
How it sits now...
When I got it, I invested right then and gave it the works, new battery, radiator, oil, filters, plugs, wires, etc. etc. you all know the deal! Also, I just got Function 7 LCA's. More pictures will be up soon! Let me know what yous think, and if you want any pictures, ask!

Thats how my rear seat looked underneath! I wanted to pour bleach on everything!
The Function 7 LCA's
Headliner and Wink Mirror
Also, anyone have suggestions on how to clean up the seat belts? They're stained, but I'm sure someone has a good way to restore them.
Thanks,
Jonathan
You might try some stuff called goop hand cleaner its also a stain remover for your seat belts
I got the mirror from Pepboys, for $20, but I think it's bowing in the middle, maybe from the heat?
And I'll definitely give the goop a shot!
Thanks!
Thanks! It was awesome to talk to you today, even if you were busy, looking at your cars make me inspired to work hard!
Thanks! I definitely will!
Thanks for the compliment! It was great meeting all 3 of yous. I got some new ideas as well from all the talking! I'll start looking around and let you know! Thanks again!
My first on bowed, so I took it back, and they let me exchange it, I think it was because I over tightened it...
I'll let you know about a meetup sometime, when I actually make some good progress with the wagon
And started cleaning!
But It Did Snow Today :roll:
Anyways,
Who's going to Honda day?! I will be there Saturday for sure, maybe Sunday!
Not in the show of course though lol. One day, if I can persuade ThatDoodle to bag my wagon haha.
I'm interesting in meetin up with some members!
Scrappy has been around Pa a few times ...... but waiting on the new Rt4wd rear axles to show up today... so no meets this weekend for me..!
