Thanks for looking at my build.
This is my first truck. My plans is to turn into a comfortable family hauler.

Not really sure what do it with it besides fix the rust and upgrade the wheels.
Thinking a Yukon grill, Escalade wood wheel. Upgrade the audio.

I just sold my 1996 Accord Lx Wagon for this. Can't wait to get started.

Very nice! The stock audio system in mine is starting to go bad, in fact, I think only a few of my speakers are working! It's a very comfortable truck to drive and It will go through about almost anything. Mines not even lifted....yet and it still does good offroad!

I like the accord, don't see too many wagons. Just needs some wheels!

First truck period.
Never had one. I have owned a 91 and 94 Bonneville. A 98 Grand Prix. 93 and 96 Accord. Then a 90 Integra Gs.

I usually don't recommend it, but on your truck, I think colormatching the mirrors to that purple color would make it look a lot cleaner. Having 2 main colors instead of 3.

You should have a lot of room to upgrade audio, depending on how far you want to go with it. I replaced speakers in mine first, and I was happy for a while, but then I added an amp and shallow mount sub under the seat. Night and day difference. So much better quality and depth of sound.

Escalade seats are a major upgrade if you can find a set and feel like putting the effort into the rear seat to make it work.

The saw blades look fine, it's those old tires and that wacky side skirt/fender flare that doesn't look right.

I dont know what I am going to do with the skirt/flare. Thought about finding a doner Denali/Escalade to do a front end conversion. Dont know if I want leather.
Ill prob upgrade the tires, not sure what brand to use. I know I want to do Bilstein shocks. Upgrade to a factory 18 or 20. Just clean it up.
