Icon6 1982 Civic Wagovan

I was lucky enough to purchases a 1982 Civic Wagovan 5 speed with 25000 original documented kilometers, and what i was wondering was is this the lowest mile 82 civic that is still on the road.

also what is the easiest way to host images so i can post them up

Photobucket, Flickr are two of the more common sites to host pics.

Get some posted so we can see.

Also, there are no such things as 1982 wagovans. Wagovans didn't come out until 1984. You have just a 1982 Civic wagon.

Which is cool as hell, in my opinion.

I'd like to see the badging. I have a feeling that someone put that there as the "wagovan" name. as far as I know, didn't appear until the 3rd generation Civic wagon.

The pics you do have make me miss mine very much. Beautiful car, dude.

After looking through the classic car picture thread, I saw a wagon i think on page 26 that was seriously dropped. Now what im wondering is how did he get the rear so low. My wagon has leaf springs in the rear not strut assembles. Is the only way to do this through custom leafs, or is there something im not thinking about. Any suggestions on how to lower the rear of my wagon would be greatly appreciated.

If you truely have a 25K km wagon...don't mod it. If you are really set on dropping a wagon, sell yours for big $$$ and buy three or four 200K km civic wagons and have fun. Were you ever able to figure out how to post the pics?

I fixed your post and added the photos. Seems you're having a bit of trouble figuring out how to post them, so I scribbled together a brief how-to.



After clicking everything; copy and paste the code where you'd like the image to appear in your post.

If you'd like an easier alternative, click this link. If you decide to use tinypic, make an account so they don't delete your images or replace them with something entirely different. That's a risk you take when you upload without using an account. You'll see examples of this while browsing.

Here is a picture of the 1983 wagon I had back in the late 90's. I had zero springs up front and was running mono-leaf, flipped out back.

Thank you very much "It Wasn't Me" that just gave me motivation to take more pictures to show to you guys. NEEN i am just thinking out loud, as of right now the only plans i have for the car is to do a full tune up get some tires that are not snows and get the car undercoated.

I also thought you guys would like a little history on the car. The car was stored in a barn for the better part of 30 years. The owner then donated to a high school. While the car was at the school some stupid kids decided to try and break in but lucky for me they couldn't. So instead they just vandalized the hood (That's why its green and not gray) as well as the passenger side. (Small dents all over the passenger side) Around 6-7 months ago the previous owner bought the car from the school and did all the work to get it certified. He bought a new 2012 civic and was gonna use this for trade in but one of the mechanics decided to buy it from him instead. I bought the car off the mechanic and couldn't be happier, the car is far from prefect but with only 25000 km i think its a good starting point.
