Been a long time coming. The addiction started atleast a decade ago since then countless wagons have come and gone. But like lovers lost you dont know what ya got till its gone even our 2011 sti cant compare to the joy I felt ripping my 200+ mile turbo civic wagon years ago. I know i have a history of buying and selling wagons way too much just didnt ever get a good feeling on them but this one has got me giddy. Aside from being ugly sun faded and rusted she is mechanically sound, smooth idle, crisp steering, smooth tranny, super clean interior, and my favorite no dent in the roof. Only thing that could make it more perfect would be rear speaker pods but hey if thats my only issue on the inside im tottaly cool with that. After a good walk around inspecting all the typical wagon issues the omg moment was rolling the drivers window up and down smooth as a babys ass. She looks ruff but trust me when I say one of the best wago project starts ive ever had and ive had a lot of wagons.

    For now just drive it kinda busy with some other projects and what not. Yes she is very ugly on the outside. Discovered today anytime you vuy a car in WA state you gotta buy plates and tabs regardless of when they were done last. $75 and of course I was so giddy during the transaction forgot to have him put GIFT on the title so he wrote down the $1700 i paid for it.... oh well im happy. When I get done with b-fast ill go get some more pics of her.

    Ahhh that was you who purchased Cecil's JRSC kit huh.... Great deal especially that you got Moss motors last alternator bracket/pulley assembly PN#988-250 and its still BNIB well package. I was debating on picking it up myself but i got to much going on with my wagon right now. Would've been nice to have a spare supercharger kit. Good luck with install and can't wait to see the type of numbers you put down to the wheels with your build. What's your plan for your JRSC build BTW?
  • turbo_tegturbo_teg Council Member
    The plan was to ask you for advice haha.
  • beastmodebeastmode Senior Wagonist
    LMAO.... My current build is my 1st rodeo don't know how much of a help i would be but i'll definitely be here to answer any questions if you have any and if not i'll ask someone for the answer haha. Can't wait to see the work in progress, plans and final outcome BTW i'll keep an eye out on this build thread.
