I’m not exactly sure what differentiates a Honda Partner from a Honda Orthia, both were built on the EK sedan platform and in the spirit of keeping their best for the homeland, it was available in Japan with a B20 and all wheel drive. There are a couple of US EKs with Orthia front end conversions running around, but this is a Partner/Orthia with an EK facelift. This offers a great glimpse into what an EK wagon may have looked like if offered here, they would probably be more popular now than when new, ah what could have been.

Now I’m not suggesting that this should be the next big thing or anything, not just any old car can pull it off, but it really works for me here

These kind of shots must be trendy I’ve been seeing a lot of them lately, they do look good.

My friend Brian and I were getting nostalgic and talking about this kit the other day since he was busting my balls saying I left the Feel’s wing out of my EK Wing Guide

Another great cause! Awesome to this stuff going on.
