Default Billboard back in a wagon again

I dont post here very often, but some may still remember me...

I still have my Honda Fit, Although it is for sale right now...



Anyways- after years, seriously years (ive been looking since I sold my last wagon), searching for a clean unmolested Rt4wd wagon, i found one. I met and test drove a few piles of **** before coming across this one... Its a 1991, I am the 4th owner (the original owner passed, and his son inhereted it, his son sold it to his neighbor, I bought it from the neighbor).

It in excellent shape, with a few semi-rare goodies included...

The day I bought it- driving her home


impecable records kept on this wagon since mile 1








oem rear cargo cover & speaker pods


oem mats




aftermarket electric start & alarm

I hate builds like this because I know they're going to be amazing but they aren't done for me to see them all at once. Hahaha

Love the wagon! Nice pickup.

^thanks dudes!

new update
first i would like to appologize for the cell phone pic update...

second i would like to thank Tory (piperotto from civicwagon.com) for help with my fog light wiring...

anyways- saturday, I tore my car apart to start wiring the foglight switch. Front seat out- front bumper off- dismantle as much as possible of the dash under the steering column...


I was having a lot of troubles gettting the foglights to work... I actually had everything wired correctly, but I did not ground the Foglights to the wagon chassis (i had them grounded together and to the front bumper support- dont do that)... I did not wire my foglights into the Fuse box like i read about- i could not figure it out and was out of time to trouble shoot (needed my car back) I wired them just like you would with an aftermarket switch, only using a rear defrost switch...

FYI, The rear defrost swith from an 88-89 civic sedan/hatch/maybe crx? is identical to the JDM foglight Switch that they want a 100 dollars on ebay for (essentially you would be paying for the foglight logo on the switch itselft)...

anyways Tory came over and helped me figure out my wiring issues, after a full day of snowboarding......




painted my foglights yeller while i had everything tore apart..












got more prizes in the mail today

I have some parts i have not installed yet... will get to those soon maybe...

Hopefully a little lower- nothing absurd- just respectable, driveable, nice to look at...

maybe a light tint (no limo tint)...

would love to keep my HFP wheels and put them on my wagon- but that depends on if the Fit sells soon or not...

aquire all the OEM goodies i can get my hands on...

i think thats it... maybe in a year, have her re-sprayed...

The wagon is neverending it seems, there is always something else im after...
