    i kinda think this is dumb but my friend got me curious about this. AWD Accord??

    My buddy was talking to me earlier about making my 87 accord All Wheel Drive. i dont know if this has ever been done before. he said that i should use an honda civic wagovan axels or something. If making one of these accords AWD is possible i want to know. if so i would want to try myself.

    One of the hardest parts will be finding rear hubs capable of supporting axles. Everything else will be completely custom.

    FWIW, the Wagovans are super rare and 4WD Wagovans are almost non-existent.

    The point still remains as to what you will plug the axles into in the rear? You could easily get B-swap mounts, and run a b-series with a 5speed CRV AWD transmission. Build a cage in the rear for the rear diff, and customize the drive shaft to the proper length. Then you would need to find the proper axles. The CRV, and AWD civic have completely different rear knuckle. I don't know of any cars that use the same rear knuckle. Unless you could put some kind of bearings from an AWD car in our knuckles, you would have to have some type of custom setup similar to Vectors car.
