Default Update 4/15/08 - Gunmetal 90 Civic Wagon w/New OE Bumpers Painted

For anyone who actually cares about a Civic Wagon thanks for clicking the topic, thanks.

***Update 8.7.2012***

Just figured I'd post some different/newer pics of the old wagon 4 years later. Still running strong. Still blowing ZERO on state emissions HC and CO tests, and less than half of the allowable NoPPM test. Getting about 32mpg with ice cold A/C on blast ALWAYS.











With it's dearly departed brocar:



I still have yet to build and swap in the 1992 GS-R tranny w/LS 5th gear, HASport special edition anodized black mounts, Skunk2 shifter, and new shift linkages:





Hopefully soon LOL. Current LS trans has had a slight 3rd gear crunch every now and then for 4 straight years, and has not gotten worse enough to bother/force my hand in replacing it!



Here are the latest shots of my daily driver, a 1990 Civic Wagon DX with OBD1 B18B swap, Eibach Pro Street coil-overs, Black Racing BR-R 3 piece wheels, and new OE bumpers freshly painted OE Honda RT4WD style - these are not "photo shoot" quality by any means, or are they meant to be. These are "hurry-up-and-snap-pics-in-front-of-my-shop" pics.















I'm pleased with the results. I think it makes it look less "base modelish" and a bit nicer overall. the color matched very well, but the bumpers are textured heavily and it gives the paint a less glossed look to them, but then again that's how they looked when the RT4WD were new off the showroom floor.

Anyways thanks for looking.



If you wanted to see pics of how it looked with the original black bumpers, and with engine shots, interior shots, then CLICK HERE

Shots of the Skunk2 front camber kit install and to see the current Eibach Pro Street coil-overs found by CLICKING HERE as well.

...and if anyone makes the connection yes this used to be @ries wagon from San Diego, CA. It's been enjoying GA so far. Next on the list is strip and retint windows, find a nice OE looking/low key rear lip, and recover driver's seat. Then it's on to swapping out the LS tranny for a 1993 GS-R YS1 and adding the LS 5th gear for highway rpm y0!



Thanks for looking!

EDIT 8/15/08 pics added:











Under wraps:

HAHAHA!!!

Yeah you know I don't even think of how old my cars really are (1990 and 1992) on a daily basis. I think it's amazing I found this wagon in such great shape to begin with, albeit it came from 2100+ miles away!!! I guess that's why local for sale wagons are always dissappointing - who keeps an 18 year old beater wagon in good shape, seriously?!

One of the cleanest wagons I've seen! I'd really like to find a clean one myself someday.

Love the wagon, and in the same boat as everyone else as not being able to find a decent wago.
