#TeamWagon Wisconsin 91 RT4WD
91RT4WD-WISCONSIN
New Wagonist
This is my 2nd wagon now..I owned a 87 that was lifted with a light bar, carbed d15 4wd that I got for little to nothing and beat into the ground during high school, n now here I am with the 91 rt4wd. I bought it for $2200 in Stevens Point WI. Its a d16a6 with factory installed cruise control with not a speck of rust (big deal up where I live) so Ive done some minor stuff so far, waiting for parts to lift it and rebuild the SHOT!!! front end! so ill post some pictures of my progress so far..

and just another cool pic from my metal shop[IMG][/img]
I was told It was "factory installed" not factory factory so most likely a dealer put it on!..has a honda logo stamped on the unit under the hood tho
yeah..accord springs tho so it'll be lifted a bit in the front!
Cool! what are you going to do for the rear then?
Well for some reason the front is super low and the back is super high so I was going to do the front and hope it sits even..if not I got some plans from teggy struts and some chopping
and started taking her apart
before measurement about 23.5
after measurement about 26.5..so i would say a fair 2.5-3 inch total lift
only finished one side tonight...
Got the front done, Not going to buy the parts for the back just yet on account of im broke as hell so being a welder and fabricator by trade im going to improvise and see if I can make my own lift without having to hack into the rear LCA like 503 did..
wagon ...
Gonna fix my broken corner light from when I hit a deer last week..if it turns out good ill leave it, turns out bad Ill throw some night shade on it alone with my chipped rear tail lights
I used adjustable ones..got an ebay special set its been good so far

So I decided I wanted to stud them since they are just junky bias ply tires anyway and I just like the looks of the rims! So I started studding with what I had left for tec screws which was about a 1/3 of a box so I made it almost around the tire once..planning on doing some ice drag races this winter on the lake
and my drivers corner light turned out like garbage so I needed to cover it up so I night shaded pretty much all the lights on the whole car tonight! still need to do the rear license plate lights and the blinkers, going to eventually buy projectors and HIDs
Also was debating on night shading my headlights in a sorta way my buddy did his cummins..thoughts guys??
also I was doing some checking on my suspension since it had a small clunk in the passanger side front (forgot to put the rubber donut on in the inside of the strut hat, oops) and came across this little guy, guess thats what I get for buying cheap 20 dollar (for the pair) control arms..luckly the bolt was in the way it was, otherwise she woulda slipped out and I woulda been fucked, but I took all the control arm nuts off and put on teflon lockers!
Circa 2011 my 250 chevy build all completly in the back of my 86 wagon
my "Fix" to a broken torsion bar on my 86..a 67 Camaro coil spring and a bunch of welding
You guys are gonna hate me for this one..thats my 86..factory underseat storage tray, passenger mirror, factory radio equalizer..Didnt know at the time what any of that was worth
My shitty ass hoodpins to fix my broken latch and a nice pried up handle in the hood
and one more just to make you guys hate me
is that a home-studded tire?
Yup home studded..just tec screws and the inside of the tire is filled with that green slime fix a flat stuff, they hold air for about a 2-3 days, but just for ice racing they are fine..
