Going to look at a wagon tonight....

and I already know that I'll be buying it. Just need a little time to scrape together some money; pretty sure the seller is going to give me some time. It's an 89, FWD with 5 speed. Beige color. There is a somewhat decent story behind it (at least funny imo); I'll tell it once it's in my possession.

Anyways, I'm Ken and I live in the Tampa Bay area of Florida. If this wagon purchase goes through, it will join my 99 Civic Si. That project has gone on for over 8 years now, and is nearly complete. A couple of years ago, while all of my other friends were looking at 92-95's and 96-00 hatches, I wanted something older, something different if you will. And the wagon fit the bill perfectly. Once I saw what could be done to it (Shaun K's wagon on H-T.com), I knew that I had to have one. And then I came here, and was blown away !!! Yeah, I',m gonna have some fun for sure !! LOL.

So, greetings and salutations from the lightning capital of the US !! Is there anything that I should pay particular attention to tonight when I go check out this wagon? I do know that it has a new clutch/PP/FW. And that the driver's seat has been ripped up thanks to the friendly stray cat. Other than that, I'll find out the rest tonight.

Thanks,
Ken

    Rust in the rear quarters would be the key thing to look for. Other than that you can replace most everything else. Hope it works out for ya. Lets see some pix of the Si. Oh and welcome!

    JDM ITR engine, rebuilt tranny with JDM ITR FD and LSD.
    5 lug ITR hubs and pressed onto stock Si susp. ES/Prothane/Mugen bushings.
    NSX NA2 front calipers w/ TSX 12" rotors, EP3 rear calipers with EP3 rotors. 16" JDM ITR CW wheels.
    Nearly complete CTR red interior with manual crank windows and door panels, CDM ITR red front seats, etc.......
