RoRo's 1990 Wagon - Canadian "Swagon"
RoRo
Wagonist
Hey all, i havnt had the best start on this forum, my intro thread didnt post and when i posted a few pics of my wagon the thread got locked due to being too much of a build in the wrong section.
So here it is
My 1990 Civic wagon, originally from the US bought and made its way to Canada, i saw this online a year before i bought it and when i had the money i snatched it up asap
has currently 298XXX Miles, FWD with a SOHC ZC non vtec head, full grey interior swap, bought it with tons of spares, lowering springs, some very odd ford rims and came with a B16 swap with mounts and axles.
i didnt put this car on the road because i wanted to do a full rebuild from ground up so it sat for 2 years, in that time i fully built my EG hatch and had bought another EG hatch to do up and bought a 92 DA integra which i through too much money into as well, so i decided to put the wagon on the road and start the build august this year.
Heres the car the day i bought it:
so right away i started collecting parts, went to the local wrecking yard and found 2...yes 2 OEM hood bra's got them each for $5 a pop
Missing a Corner light when i bought the car, and threw on some random Konigs i had laying around
Thats all i did to the car then let it sit, once i decided to put it on the road, i needed a new catalytic converter, some exhaust work, i put lowering springs in it, put on the classic garden edging front lip and some freshly powder coated Volk cv pro's which i neded up putting on my DA and put the blades on the wagon
with my brothers EG
then all the black trim, hatch, bumpers, hood, spoiler had all faded like crazy, so it was time for a respray cant find during pics right now, but here are some afters with my buddys wagon we painted

and then a mate of mine made this for me!
Those were the last pictures of the season i had until i had to put it into "winter mode" but i love winter because its the time to do all the crazy mods
at 2 am this guy came out of the bar and noticed my front lip was hanging off on the 1 side (tore it off backing onto my lawn) and he gets on all 4's , stands up and yells "I DIDNT DO IT!"
Heres some interior shots
Since the ef wagons dont have cup holders i decided to be different , a trip to the dollar store later, some double sided sticky tape and 2 plant pots..
EF hatch audio console
I broke my hand in August so i had my friend make me a custom 8 inch custom shifter extender
Also have a Panasonic 7 inch flip out DVD/CD/Ipod/aux touchscreen deck
and my Giant 18" convexted anti glare mirror, i had a wink in there which is thee most useless POS in the world
and my TAG #WHITETRASH
Then i put on my custom Rear hanging fog light, which i also did on my integra, rear SI lip, rear mud flaps, and front fogs with retro fitted HID bulbs
and i hope this is a first , if not and you have seen this done before please let me know and post pics, i really try to be different and i think its a first
and i picked up some rims
As of right now the head liner is out from doing the lights, im going to install a DA map light, rear roof speaker pod from a 90's jeep cherokee, and typical fix all the roof supports which have come loose off the roof skin, and then re wrap the head liner
Stay tuned

Quick question.
What rear suspension setup are you running? Just stock shocks and lowering springs?
its the Haggard wagon, she'll make it till spring
The wheels I saw for the first time when I joined another forum in 2011 and I said to myself "one day I will own those"
Destiny brought them too me so happy I got them, they have 205/45/16 fronts and 215/40/16 rear but I'm going to do 195/40/16 front ad 195/45/16 rear
going to go to the wreckers this week and get a map light from an integra or get anther middle interior light from an Ef and then get so e headliner material
thanks for the comments to everyone and the wagon as it is in these pictures is "winter mode" or what me and my friends say "winter swag"
come spring time it wont even be the same wagon you see here at all,
im a domestic guy at heart, and i own 6 cars 4 are hondas and 2 are domestics....
if you see my domestics compared to my imports you understand why the imports look the way they do all haggard and funky looking lol

This pic is badass btw. Do you happen to know the settings when taken? All I know is you would probably have it on a stand with a super slow shutter speed.
as for the picture I can't even remember but it was shutter on 5 seconds and I used an iPhone light to do the "RoRo"
