#219849Inspired by the true VIP scene.
Hi VIP'ers, my name is Zach and I'm new to this forum (although I've known about it for a long time and have been in to visit before).I'm very interested in VIP style vehicles and the true VIP platforms and I draw a lot of inspiration from said cars. Unfortunately, I'm addicted to wagons. My new project is a 1995 Honda Accord LX Wagon (CE1). I'm here because I'd like to share with you it's metamorphosis and learn a thing or two about your scene as well. I'm sure that even though this isn't a true VIP car, some of you will enjoy watching my build. I'd also like to get opinions from the luxury aficionados on this forum to help guide me while I attempt to transform my wagon into something special.
Here is the platform I am working with:



Those pictures are all from this past summer when I first bought the car. It looks much the same now with a few minor modifications. I had to spend a lot of time and money on maintenance and just recently was able to purchase suspension and wheels.
For my stance I ordered Function Form dampers (borrowed pic from weaksauce), they will be arriving here tomorrow.

I got my wheels through bidschoice off YJA last week, they should be here in a month and a half, roughly. Work Ryver 17x8 and 17x9 all et35. They need a bit of refinishing, but the price was right and I really like the look of them. These are pictures from the actual auction I won them from. The tires are being removed prior to shipping.

So that's it so far. Nothing is really going on my car for a month or two since I have to wait for the wheels to arrive and then refinish them and buy tires. That's fine with me, I live in Indiana and I'd rather wait for spring to come before I install anything. Comments, questions, and suggestions are all welcome. Thanks for having me guys!
