Well, I finally got a digital picture of my wagon last night. It isn't much yet but I have big plans for it. So far all I have done is lowered it 2 1/2 inches by cutting the springs (air ride will come in the spring) and put some Prelude Si wheels on it. I have also installed an Alpine CDA 7876 head unit with Diamond Audio separates in front.
I just thought I would share the beginnings of a big project with everybody.
It was in the middle of a rainstorm and the pizza that I had inside fogged up my windows.

BTW:
The order that I am going to work on this is like this:
Bodywork: shave everything
Paint: bright red (2002 Monte Carlo)
interior (grey or tan tweed)
air ride (airlift air sleeves)
Wheels (18 inch Konig Imagines - possibly gunmetal)
Engine: absolutely nothing-- except for a chrome intake tube (unless it blows up... then and only then I will install an H23)

For one thing, wagons are big in the minitruck scene and minitruck shows are where I spend most of my time. But the big thing was that after my Cadillac, I wanted to go back to a Honda but I don't want to look like a street racer at all. I don't want that stereotype put on me.
I have always liked Accord wagons and I found a screamin' deal on this one. It needed/needs some work but it doesn't matter to me. I planned on painting it and replacing nearly everything anyway.

Man i think the wagon is tite and original as a mofo.
Like he said, not errybody pimps wagons. So you will be one of a kind, ya know.

sheet, I'll take one of those just as quick as I'll take any other 4G. And when I get done with it it will be cold as a mutha.

Pearl I know you gonna do your thing, so go on and handle dat

I have seen a couple of 4G wagons fixed up. Both had hot stereo setups as well. There is plenty of room for a custom installation in the back.

Pearl, you're doin good! I wish my mom would let me do something like that to her Accord wagon! Is your's the EX or LX? By the way, nice choice on the wheels. Those from a Prelude?

It is an LX. Of course I wish it was an EX but it's not a big deal. The difference in power is because of different intake and exhaust manifolds so I can always get those later.

They are Prelude Si wheels. They came off of our Prelude obviously so it was an easy choice since I already had them laying around.
