Re: 94 Accord Wagon Build
So I finally got it all stripped down and ready for bodywork and paint.
I also cut out some templates for some filler plates.
Fast forward a couple of months. Last week I finally got the car to my buddies shop so could start on the bodywork.
Last night I got started on cutting my filler plates down to size. Got them fitting pretty good and used some panel bond to secure them. I will be making a cap or might even remake the upper radiator support after the CF4 headlights where they need to be. Sorry for all these phone pictures.

Re: 94 Accord Wagon Build
Thanks man.
Love me some wagon.
I appreciate it and I will check it out.
Well got most of the body work done along with all the rust repair on the body. I'm really liking the look without the molding. Started fitting the headlights too but forgot to bring the metal for the radiator support so I guess I will continue on that tomorrow. Then sand, sand, and sand some more.

Re: 94 Accord Wagon Build
I forgot to update my thread. The car isn't finished yet but here is what I've been working on.
I did manage to get the vent, cable bracket holes, and pcv shaved. Then added 4 -10 bungs to my valve cover. I still need to do finish sanding. Finally got around to making a bezel for my S2000 cluster, it's almost ready for primer. I also removed the unused wiring for abs, automatic transmission, emissions junk and brought the driver side engine harness plugs over to the passenger side.
We had to mold the 94/95 front lip to my bumper. Because of my intercooler placement, I had to trim most of the tabs.
I also did some more sanding on my valve cover. I still have a long way to go but need to go pick up some more sandpaper. Hopefully I will get some more progress made next week.

Re: 94 Accord Wagon Build
I apologize for all these phone pictures, but that's all I've got to work with right now
I got my bezel finished and painted, I sat it in the dash and had a minor fitment issue. The back of the cluster was touching the duct for the air. Easy fix though and I'm happy with the fitment

Thanks man.
Like always sorry for the phone pictures, I need a computer so I can upload the ones from my camera. Anyways, not a ton of progress made but I was finally able to get the headlight conversion done. As well as installing the hood latches and fitting the radiator. There is a few other things that need done before color can be put down.

Re: 94 Accord Wagon Build
Well I haven't had to much time to work on the car due to moving and the holidays but 99% of the body work is done, shortened the sides of the bumper, and finished molding the front lip. I just need to drill the holes in the new radiator support for the hood pins. And the next time I post pictures it should have some color on it. After nearly 7 months.

Greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Thanks, I'm ready for it to be over. Lol
So I got it home a few days ago. I did manage to get a couple pictures before the rain and snow moved in. It has a really sparkly purple/maroon hue to it. My phone can't capture it.

Re: 94 Accord Wagon Build
Sick! LOVE root beer. Reminds me of my "Java Pearl" Accord build.
Man, so much more hard work in this thread. Keep it up good sir!
Are those EL headlights, or some new aftermarket CD lights that are built to look like them? Missed any kind of front end retrofit on your timeline, so assuming they are aftermarket CD?

Re: 94 Accord Wagon Build
I forgot to update this, so I figured I would start and get this thread back up to speed.
2016 absolutely sucked so I didn't feel like messing with anything. I never had the car wet sanded or buffed. I managed to get the headliner in along with some of the interior pieces. I did do some of the interior wiring. Got all the door seals and most of the moldings on the car. Went out and took these pictures.
Everything is literally piled in the back and just needs to be put back on. Trying to get my **** together and finish the car. But I've got to get my garage organized first.

Re: 94 Accord Wagon Build
I'm finally getting time to work on this thing again. As most of you guys know it's getting harder and harder to find and get parts for our cars. I ended up picking this running driving wrecked wagon for a couple of the trim pieces. Now I've ended up started swapping everything over to get rid of all my interior that I re did in black. Not 100% but better than it was.
Some pictures of the progress I made yesterday and today. Again nothing special just getting rid of the black and putting it all back factory.
But more to come.

Re: 94 Accord Wagon Build
As of yesterday.
I got the dash, center console and carpet out of the parts car. I got the carpet and rear seats installed in my car today. Finally all the Gucci that was in the interior is gone.
Nothing to exciting. Hopefully I can get the dash installed tomorrow and maybe the center console. Haven't decided if I am going to leave the s2k cluster in or put a factory cluster back in.

I got my new dash, glove box, center console and some of the wiring finished up. For now I went ahead and stuck the S2000 Cluster in the Accord.
And I hooked up power to the car for the first time in a very long time. Neither dome light is working but might be the bulbs. Power door locks don't work but I think they didn't before, and the passenger rear window doesn't go up or down (I think it didn't work before too). But I am going to look more into that before I button up the interior. Action shot of the cluster
