Hope I'm in the proper forum. I have a 7Tsomthing rust bucket Civic wagon that runs like a dream. Thinking about chopping it into a fishing/fun /offroad mud buggy of some kind. Anyone have any experience w/a "mad doctor" type mod like this? No suggestion is too off the wall. Thanx

 

Ummm, do you have the AWD wagovan?

 

No, it's a standard FWD 5-door. The body is 85% shot, only the roof and running gear are salvageable (sic.). It sat out in the elements for many, or more, years, critters made nests in the seats, raised families in the air cleaner, and used the cargo area as a Memorial Park. The battery had exploded (lightning?) and the gas tank had no cap. It had sunk into mother earth up to the floor pan. Much longer and it would have fosselized. Dragged it out of the mud, took care of foreign substance intrusion in all vital orfices, hit the key (amazingly still in the ignition), ten seconds later she was happily idling away w/only a hint of blue smoke from the head pipe, (the rest of the exhaust was laying on the ground back in the field). Surely the most shocking resurrection since Jesus himself 2000 years ago. Basically, shes just a heart, looking for a new lease on life.
