Default Just picked up this new car (new to me) ...

I just picked this 1994 Accord LX wagon up yesterday. I work for a Honda dealership and have been wanting one of these wagons for many years. This got traded in the other day and I was lucky enough to get first dibbs on it. The car has 128,000 miles on it, AM-FM-Cassette and a CD changer in the rear (Honda accessory). I transferred the wheels from my 1990 Accord LX 4 dr to this car. I got those wheels off a 1998 Acura CL (they are 16"). I had just put some new Khumo tires on them.

I have a few things that I have to do to the car to get it back in shape (not that it is in bad shape ... just needs a little TLC). I just did outer CV boots and front pads last night. I am doing the timing belt, balancer belt, water pump and the external belts this weekend. I am not sure if it had been done ... so I figured it would be cheap insurance.

I am planning on dropping it some and tinting the windows (very dark black in the back, medium on rear windows and light on the front windows). I am also thinking about maybe putting a kit on the car ... if I can find something that I like. If anyone knows where nice kits can be found for this car ... please let me know.

I have enclosed a couple of shots of it below. Hope you enjoy them.

Oh yeah. Almost forgot the best part. I only paid $2000.00 for the car.

drop, eh, wagons are the only cars I ever think look better with a conservative kit, but eh....I'd probably keep it "mostly" stock. You might drop an h22 in for the sleeper effect though *big grin*

Thank you all so much for the nice comments. I see a few of you mentioned lips. Can you enlighten me to what they are? Have any links where I can see what they look like? I am planning on dropping it ... maybe just a couple of inches. An H22 is NOT out of the question ... guys at work have suggested that swap also. I would love to see any pics you guys might have of some wagons that have had some work done to them. Would like to get some different ideas on what I might be able to do to this.

Thanks again.
