1988 Honda Civic Wagon: all 91 photos

    I picked up a stock 1988 wagon and started going to work, here are a few pictures

    Dirty

    Cleaned up nicely

    Shaved the plate mounts and painted the bumpers with bumper coating.

    Ending result.

    I also bought a Volvo lip then sanded, painted, cleared, wet sanded and polished with spray paint.

    So I didn't like the stock wagon seats, they were ripped and unconfortable so I bought some blue 1990 integra seats from a wrecking yard for 60 bucks which match my dash perfectly lol soon after setting the stock wagon seat and the Integra seat side by side. I realized that the rails were completely different as well as the seat pans. So I took one rail off the stock wagon seat and welded it onto the teg seat. to my surprise it turned out awesome and the seats don't just fit amazing they work! haha
    heres some pictures!
    start!
