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