Wanda the Wagon.
Hondagofast
Band Wagon
Hello all, 2-3 years ago I was on craigslist looking for a cheap sedan to buy for my wife to drive and keep the miles off my 03 Si. I seen the ad for wanda and being a honda freak, was blown away. The car was 30 mins away from me. I went to look at her for $800 bucks. When I arrived I complained about the rust and offered $500 cash and told him I would get rid off his lovely yard ornament. My wife said she "would never be seen in that piece." Which was another good addition to the sale.:encouragement:
I have drove this car for 8-9000 miles with no major repair and multiple susp. setups, wheels, etc etc. She now has 259,000 miles on the original trans and engine from what I can tell. I have flushed fluids, changed spark plugs, Changed ballooning radiator hoses, pulled the carpet and steam washed multiple times(ewwww). Installed pretty decent factory front seats, The rear lower seat was too nasty so I recovered it in some denim.
Wanda also received some "leftovers" from other car such as front/rear strut tower bars and rear C-pillar brace. Lights, CD player,etc. After taking her offroading many times and ripping the muffler off. I thought it would be a good idea to lower her down and take care of her.
Current Specs: 90 RT4wd/manual,
front DA eibach lowering springs with 88 Accord front GR2 struts ( perfect height for me)
Rear received 94-01 integra shocks with 94 accord front springs
Blow rear lower arms, rustoleam'ed rear cross member and undercoated rear fenderwells to stop rust.
Still no muffler just a straight pipe exiting the rear bumper.( not loud at all and Barney Fife has never noticed)
Denim rear seats. factory weighted accord 6 speed knob.
walmart uber JDM yellow fog lights, VW lip.
A usable fender and hood with mint corner lights from a junky kid who swapped parts from his car for $100 doller bill, lol ( pass mirror is next!)
recently aquired wide Kosei wheels with new 205/50r15's.
Plans include fixing the rust/body and painting suzuka blue in the spring. also installing my junkyard find armrest and rear speaker pods and keeping it clean!
Photos: past to present.
Stock susp on snow tires. AND MUD!

Another RT4wd/manual with very little rust. rough interior, and a hole in the block.a ugly aftermarkt sunroof:disturbed: Currently looking for a Z6 and stock piling some other parts
Recent pic on Kosei's. Not slammed anymore. I like driving to a pond or field or whatever. Current height is perfect to me. I love the front accord springs in the rear of the car. Next should be a integra rear sway and better brakes, These just SUCK!
