So, figured I'd start a build thread on my wagon, though it will be a slow build due to funds. To start, I picked this 3 owner wagon up from Wyoming back in February of this year after selling my '90 Civic EX, and brought it back up here to Idaho. Picked it up with 354xxx on the clock, and am currently approaching 357,000 and am getting ready to pull the motor for a rebuild. So far, have done no modifications to the wagon, it is all original, even still has the dealer installed Kenwood tape deck. My plans for this year are to get it repainted, get some tint, amd some suspension, thinking I'll go with some Megan EZ Streets. Other than that will be concerned with just keeping up on maintenance and replacing what I can. Only purchase so far was a Nardi steering wheel from Vladi that will hopefully be installed soon. On to pics.
On the trailer ready to be hauled back to Idaho
Fresh out of the carwash
Pretty clean interior for its age
The Kenwood installed by the dealer
I know I'm limited to 5 photos a post, so will update with more pictures later

Rear speaker pods
No check engine lights or anything
Repainted the oxidized window trim on the rear doors and the front and rear wiper arms
then repainted the trim along the bottom of the windows and hatch
and finally a picture of the Nardi that I bought from Vladi
that's all for now, as I was just laid off on the 25th, so funds are kind of tight right now.
Picked up a clean drivers door panel to replace the horribly cracked/peeling one in the wagon, plus snagged a pair of rear headrests.
Old vs new door panel
Rear headrests
Still haven't been able to get the Nardi mounted, I believe the eBay hub I have is the problem.
Also got the rebuild kit in for the motor, so hopefully will be starting on that soon.

For some reason when I put the wheel/horn button/center piece together on the hub while off the car, I can get it tight with no play, but then when I put the hub on the car, then put the wheel on and get all the screws tight, it has play back and forth towards me.
I love the red and white combo as well. I'm hoping the paint buffs out well, but in its situation (daily driver for its whole life thus the high miles, and I believe a few years sitting uncovered in a field), I'm ok with the faded paint. Interior is really clean, a new drivers seat, new or redone headliner, and a new hatch carpet/spare cover and the interior will be near perfect. As of now future plans are to keep the wagon OEM style, with very minimal mods, that way the value(at least for Honda folk) only goes up. So, plans are to finish the interior, get the motor rebuilt, repaint with original paint code, replace whatever needs it suspension wise, then as for the mods, I'm only planning catback exhaust, tint, and my wish list(bull bar with OEM lights, OEM roof rack, daisy blinds, underseat storage tray, and any other JDM optional accessories i can find). And unfortunately I don't have my job back, still looking for work.
Thanks Paul. No, not really, did some slight playing in the mud first week I had it, not much since. I'm interested to see how my all season tires would do out where you were a week or two ago, just not sure where exactly you were haha.
Yeah that place lol. We need to get all the wagons from Honda208 together and go out there one of these days
Thanks Ryan! I love yours lol. I cant wait till I get paid next week(or sell the s10, whichever is first) so I can grab that magnaflow from you and have boise muffler put it on.
Also hope to have one of the parts from my wish list purchased in the next day or two.
