Default New project - rare find

1994 Accord Wagon - LX - 5 speed, was looking for one, forever!
Pretty rare vehicle (made only 94-97 with very few manuals). My colleague (elderly lady) owned it for 17 years and used it to commute (almost 65-70 miles commute). Very well maintained with all receipts (a lot of them ).
232K miles and clean inside/out.

Clean slate. Plans -> K24 or H22 swap (depending on availability and cost), transmission, suspension, wheels, interior, audio/video ..... so should keep me going for a while.

The modding on the S will be at a minimum, used more for fun drives and track days. It is too expensive to modify and I am not much into FI.

Some pics. Thought I'd let you guys know! I remember asking questions about a project before and some of you were curious.

Wow, these are pretty rare. I've wanted a clean 5 spd coupe of the same vintage for a long time.

Nice pickup! Looks real clean. Both motors are good options H22 would be cheaper though.

My friends neighbor has one. An H22 should bolt right in, sense the old F-series and H-series use the same blocks. I'd rock one for a daily.

That's awesome Abhi.
My mom actually had a 94 LX for a long time, but it was an auto, and getting pretty beat up in its old age.
She finally got rid of it for a Lexus but she misses it from time to time.

Nice! 94/95 looks great before switching over to 96\97. Should be a fun project! Keep us posted!
