Well, I traded in my old beater 3rd gen yesterday and got a 1991 Accord LX Wagon. It needs some cosmetic work and a few little things don't work on it but it runs strong and other than a couple of dents the body is immaculate.
I just put the Cadillac in the autotrader so as soon as I sell that I am going to go strong on building a minitruck style Accord.

First thing I did last night was put a set of Prelude wheels on it. I will eventually go with 19s but not until after I get the air ride for it.

I like it too much here to leave... I sold my white car almost a year ago and I am still around..


It will eventually look something like this one:

It is an LX so it has an F22 in it which is only 125 hp. It feels pretty slow but it isn't terrible. Of course almost everything feels slow after driving my 300 hp Cadillac.

Theres a guy around here that has a badass accord wagon. I posted pics of it b4. Woodgrain paint, shaved with 18 inch billets its one of the sickest wagons ive seen. Ive always wanted to get an accord wagon and im sure yours will look sick.

LOL NO SHIT PEARL! I saw this dumb shit in a RSX Integra try to race this guy in a Cadi just like yours with the same wheels, and that Cadi looked like a drag car, the whole ass end just droped and the front lifted up and that thing just roared!!! Blew away that RSX

There is a 4th Gen AERODECK (the name of the wagon in the uk) done in a simular style to the one in the pic in one of the UK honda clubs.
Glad to see its not Just me with a thing for Honda AERODECK's (Wagons)

Nice!!!! I was also very interested in getting a 5th gen wagon a while back but they are hard to find here. I thought for a minute the wagon you posted was the one you bought.

They look to be in the bottom corners of the windows.

Actually, the taillights are in those little strips in the bumper. Those are reflectors in the back window.
The LEDs in the bumper are incredibly bright when they light up. It doesn't take a big strip to make them safe.

Man pearl, that's cool your doing all these changes with cars, but wagons, man that's just a car I'd never mod. Good luck though!

I'd only fix up a 3G Aerodeck... or a SIR wagon with the 4-wheel drive.

Oh i see the strips now...

That is legal?
man thats nuts...i bet people behind him are a little confused as to where they are too.!
Its good to see a different car being fixed up...
Me and my friend did up a wagon but it was a Subaru 4x4...we lifted it 6inches and it had 31" mudders on it...it bit the dust after being rolled..

Pearldrop you should have bought my mom's 93 LX wagon...it's white and quite nice ;) We gonna sell that thing on Friday. By the way how many miles does your have on it?

I would have loved a white 93 wagon but this one was here and it was too good of a deal. It has 87,000 miles and I got it for $2000. It needs some work but nothing I couldn't fix with a little bit of time and about $500 more. I was really planning on buying a 94 or 95 Accord once I sold my Cadillac but now I can just keep this and skip out on a car payment so I have more cash to play with. I have always liked these wagons but I could never get myself to buy one until now.

Man you got a GREAT deal. Our wagon has 187K and it's worth about 3000, but were selling it for 2000. Good job.

$2000??? That's cheap!!!!! And considering how you guys have higher average prices, that makes it even a better find.
