me being a picture whore ill post from when i bought it in Jan 2012 to right before i deployed to afghanistan in Apr 2012, until i get back and put the parts that ive ordered on it, then the thread will start moving!

hope you guys enjoy ;)

this is my first ever civic wagon, ive wanted one for almost 10 years now and finally snagged this one for $2500

only problems with it when i bought it is the usual dents and dings from age, the driverside fender waqs smashed from someone backing into it a week before i bought it, and it needs new axles (one is clunking when i turn)

now for the pictures :cool:



first fill up a couple of hours after i bought it, i was sooo stoked lol


new fender i took off a wagon at a pickapart and spare front mudflaps for $50


then two days after owning it, this happened distributor went out, nice little $500 repair.. i would have done it myself but i was new in WA and didnt have any of my tools.. i left them all in CA


got the fender on.. it was such a pain in the ass because ive never worked on a EF/EE lol


went and bought a wink mirror, have one in my del sol and love these things!


car was dirty but i was still stoked i had the "6 speed" RT4WD lol


best air fresheners EVER!


got my 16 way adjustable megan racing damper kit


shawtie got low low low low

sticker bombed the wink mirror


lifted the hood an inch to look more aggressive and got a stache' for the wagon


washed the piss out of it and cleaned up the steelies a little bit with a new fresh coat of flat black




installed HIDs my JDM lightup license plate that a friend of mine got for me that lives in japan


picked up a set of the RT steelies that came stock on this car in 1990... FOR FREE! got them from the guy i bought the wagon from


time to do a little DIY restore on the RT centercaps (found out the guy that painted them scuffed the caps up bad with sandpaper thanks to some good ole air craft stripper)

okay so i just bought a new thule roof rack so my current thule snowboard rack will be for sale when i get back to the states..

also my buddy marco is going to help me do a little extra something to the shuttle.. he's getting me a RHD clip for $500 and we will be doing the conversion as soon as i can get the car to CA.. only thing that sucks is that the RHD only come with a gray dashboard.. so ill have to die it to match my current dark blue interior.. but none the less im stoked!!

thanks man.. he's currently doing it to his and can get another for the same price he bought his for.. his has taken a month so far but it can be done in 2 weeks if we do nothing but work on it every day.. the awesome thing is his buddy is letting us use all his tools and a bay at his shop plus his help for exchange of beer LOL! so i told him i would bring a case or two every day for all of us to drink lol..

im ready to get home and start putting these parts on, already have a guy that wants to do a video shoot of the wagon once i get back to WA and put the parts on..

if anybody knows where to get a nice lip and a skid plate so i can protect my oil pan that would be greatly appreciated if i cant find one thats made ill have to make my own, oh well lol.. ive been looking at the CF chargespeed lip and the CF osaka JDM rear spoiler.. also if anybody knows where to get the JDM rear window blinds, cargo cover, and JDM cargo net.. thanks much =)

thanks guys.. yeah i didnt waste much time doing anything to the wagon.. but its still got alot of work to come.. i need to do a little body work here and there and i want to respray it the stock color just so itll look fresh..

as for the people i know.. haha its just from being in the army and traveling everywhere, the people you know there and that you meet and then the people that heard of you.. you start to know alot of people LOL.. like in CA if you go to the highdesert and ask about the blue del sol from hell people will instantly know what car youre talking about and they will describe my car to the T lol..

plus the buddies in japan i knew from the army or met them when i moved to CA... ive got alot of nice parts just laying around my garage and storage garage that ive yet to touch lol

haha okay, nobody has really wanted it.. its a universal fit if im correct.. came off a MKII VW GTi, then a 99 civic sedan, then a 96 civic coupe, then on my wagon lol.. only problem is currently it doesnt have keys but i can have them made if you want..

haha itll be kind of slow since im in afghanistan but as soon as i get back there will be TONS of pictures of me putting on all the parts.. and possibly getting a engine swap, ive been talking to the wife she said if i get her a new car (she wants a stanced 2012 accord v6) and sell the 06 BMW i can finish the wagon and the sol :twisted:
