The Third Gen Turd

Wagonist
Well i bought this wagon a few months ago; a very spur of the moment purchase but it was well worth it. 132k on the engine, push start 4WD, dirty ass engine. So this car is my first ACTUAL build, I have a 91 SI hatchback that I have done a few things to but I am learning a lot as I go with this little turd I have here. So please any advice or constructive criticism post it up. If you have something not constructive and just negative, send me a message please.. 
Hope everyone enjoys the start of this build, still have a long way to go. Thanks for looking!
Header once we took it off, yuck
The long process of rust removal begins
Got the trans off once the engine was out, I honestly don't know how I made it home on this clutch
And a little close up on the logo
Picked up this DC header from a RPR member, just wanted to see what was to come :P
Was looking for a plaid fabric for my headliner but ended up deciding on this suede material.
These crazy pieces, had no clue how to pop them out. Plan on putting them back on after paint
Saw this sedan today at work, left a note on their window with my number if they ever want to sell it...haha
Sorry for the bad quality on some of the photos, a few are from my shitty camera phone. I am in the process of shaving the engine bay right now, sanding and getting everything prepped for paint. I have a bunch of interior goodies ready for the wagon that I will soon take pictures of for you guys, like I said advice is always welcome; thanks!

AAAAND the hole in the floor pan :[
E-brake knob I stained and the wheel I plan on putting on
Under seat tray, window bars, floor mats and EQ
And last but not least, wagon cargo cover
Enjoy!
It will be dope if we ride 3rd Gen to meets together.

Painted a few things, finished painting all of the interior burgundy as well. Finished painting the mud flap logos and clear coated them, its not perfect but it doesn't look bad. Got my sedan lower console in, had to take some off of the sides for it to work though, just wish the center bar to separate the cassette tapes wasn't broken out.. :[ Everything else has been kind of slow but I finally got new seats for the SI, just waiting on a better condition set of front floor mats to come in the mail; quick little peek of the interior. :P Just waiting until after the holidays to get the paint going; so ready for it. Want to free up some garage space... Have a few things coming in the mail from a RPR member; clear corners, rain guards and side markers; stoked for those. I originally wanted to paint my wheels and center caps to look like EF RT wheels but now im having second thoughts... Maybe leaning more towards rusto sand color and paint the H burgundy, I have always enjoyed using those colors together; I think it would go well with the interior.. Anyways, not much of an update but a few things to look forward too; enjoy!
