1990 Honda Civic RT4WD from WY, in CA now

in New User Introductions
I don't really remember if I ever filled out an official Newbie Intro page for this wagon, so here goes. My civic was rescued from my brother's ranch in WY where life was hard and there weren't enough people to keep it running. I had just had my Impreza crushed on 1-80 north of San Fran, so was in need of a car. My dad had a spare fridge and my brother filled all his game tags, so the car was traded from my brother to my dad, for 1 game freezer, and then dad gave the Civic to me. I instantly put a new head in it, then slowly (or sometimes quickly) found all it's other little issues, eventually put a 'new' JDM engine in, and have been running this car for the last 3 years as my 'tour' mobile for my music career, racking up about 6k miles a month when I'm on the road. It's been one reliable little car. I've never had a more sure-footed winter/snow car when I run the studs on it going up/down the mountain. I have a love/hate relationship with it, because I've had to fix so many things on it, but it has been the car that's given me so many smooth miles down the road.

    When I read the thread title, I thought it meant you had bought another wagon. You know there are some of us who can't have just one!
    What we need is pictures. Start a "build thread" where you can show off your car and its progress. Is it really camouflaged?

    Will do--I really don't feel like I'm 'building' anything--just keeping it running as a travel tool, but yes, the bottom half is camo, as are the door handles and the little H on the back. It's maybe 'cute.' When I tour I must get an offer a week of someone to buy it off of me. I threaten it, too, when the work is hard. Just paused as I went past CrushCo yesterday, to remind it of life's fragility. Mostly because I've been bleeding into it a lot this week, both money and blood.
