For starters, the wagovan has a name. "The Red Bull" aka "RB". This inspired name was thought up by my brother, who seems to have a knack for naming cars. 1. I like Red Bull the drink, probably too much actually. 2. I'm a fan of Sebastian Vettel who drives for the Red Bull F1 team. Great job Matt!
Some updates:
The windshield is in! $258 installed.
Struts are in! It seems that I mistakenly ordered Tokico blues vs. the Koni reds I had planned on getting. Rather than returning them(I needed to get something in to replace the blown/worn struts), I just threw them in since this suspension is only a tie me over until I decide on a full coil over. They only charged me for the blues. $288 shipped.
Honda keys 2 keys, $15. A necessity.
So the car is now driveable. She should make her debut sometime this week. I've got a new hub on order so I should have the Nardi wheel on sometime this week.
Thoughts about future upgrades/fixes:
- Rear LCA's. They are tiny. Need to find if CRX/Civic LCA's fit.
- Engine light. Gotta check codes and find out what the issue is.
- Wiper pump system/visors. Whenever I can make it down to the Chicago parts car.
- Install new OEM thermostat.
- Misc old stuff replacement (rattling stuff, bushings etc)
