Default Project Turd...err I mean "Cappucino" (1991 Civic Wagon RT4WD)

Ok, so i got this thing on EBAY. Bacon fenders etc. But it runs well. Will be doing some body work and a respray in the future.

Bodywork is next up. I might also be swapping out rims. I am looking at a set of Rota RB .

I'd avoid the respray for as long as possible, unless the paint is much worse in person. I'm not sure how the body work will work out either. Good luck on it. Hopefully it all just pops out, right? haha

Is a respray of OEM color a bad idea?

I don't think so. I'm not a fan of color changes so an Oem repsray would be great. I love that color of wagons too!

id do that.. restore them and have them powder coated to look new.. clean RT's are hard to come by

Definitely keep the wheels and powdercoat them! I don't know how big of a rotor you can fit behind those, but they are definitely worth keeping if you can run them.
