Long Time Lurker, Finally Found the "right" wagon to make my own....

Hello All,
I've been trying to find a clean wagon for years up here in Canada, however there aren't many and even fewer rust free virgin (un-molested) for sale! I've been a Honda aficionado for a long time since my first Teal EG hatch back in the 90's. I've built a boosted 99' EK coupe, also owned 5 CRX's and recently acquired a 90' RT4wd 6-spd from a really nice guy in Maryland. It was originally on Autotrader.Com for $5800 w/ speaker pods, fogs, rear cargo cover etc... then months later I found it again on Facebook in the civic wagon appreciation society. As soon as I called the seller I hit it off with the guy instantly and knew this was the car for me. I gave him a $500 deposit sight unseen, flew down a few weeks later then drove in back
:cool:

It has a power dealer installed aftermarket sunroof, that's glass tilts, slides in the cavity in the headliner and has the inner sliding cover w/ louvers. It's virtually rust free, amazing clean interior and drives like new. Swapped out the stock rims yesterday with some Mugen MR5's that have new Toyo Proxy RA1's will post pics shortly
Like the retro look, so bought a wood shifter and will soon be installing a wood steering wheel.
Let the "making it my own" begin...

    Wonderful! Great to see you found your perfect wagon.
  • its not perfect yet, just a really great starting point (shell) just found out the "clunk" sound coming from the rear-end was one of the axles separating from the transfer case. The tie rod ends are shot, failed smog test miserably (at idle), obviously burns oil as the dip stick was dry. All good though :encouragement: nothing I can't handle... planning on swapping out the motor anyhow. Just wanted an safety inspection and an alignment however now Pandora's box has been opened.

    like I say to my lovely bride... my hobbies are still cheaper than therapy
    Here's the before and after of my latest rex
