Had a couple of minutes to do this today before work....dropped the front cross member with the steering rack and all.....




ble cleaning it up here soon so when the car is all back together it is nice and clean and like new again....

 

Ok, so finished up taking everything off of the firewall....looking clean, nothing attached to it now, so ready for some welding and shaving...hahahaha





And here is the rail that runs under the car to protect and contain the fuel lines to the tank and the rear brake lines....coming off to get replaced with some stainless lines with an fittings...all of em....

 

Well I ordered my JDM Type R front bumper with the lip today, as well as the hood latch and cable for the conversion...making progress!! Well since I have taken like a 2 week break in doing much with the car, I decided to work on her for about 2 hours this evening, here's what I got accomplished with a huge helping hand from my buddy Mike. Mike has a project integra that I will snap some photos of in the next few days, it is a RHD JDM front car that he has done completely by himself, he even paints...haha. Between him and myself we are the 2 honda "gods" of this area....scary when you realize that...lol. Anyways, on to the pictures....


Removing the radiator tabs off the JDM radiator support, they are being replaced by the ones on my tracktion bar


Here's a hint of what I did.....Notice the headlights, not mine, they are Mike's he had these left over after he got his ITR's so he is letting me borrow them for alignment of the rad. support. This guy is the best!!


Just need some primer now....


And off.....




Sexy!!! Will be even better with the HID ITR's!!!


Drilling out the spot welds....


More spot welds....


Mike doing his thing.

 

Drilling...


Drilling more...


Damn I can work a flash light!!


Me in action....


And she's off...out with the old, in with the JDM hotness!!


Wow...I can honestly say I felt like vomitting and eventually did when we started to cut into my baby, but not cause of nerves, cause I took some cough syrup with codine in it right before we started and I hadn't eatten all day, bad idea....lol


Hells yea son!!


Lata USDM....anyone need a radiator support?? Make me and offer, it is in good shape....

 

Tell Mike he is gay. Really gay.

I would leave the support off till you put the motor in. Whole lot easier to roll the motor in then to lift it in.

 

yea, but i have all the right tools like a cherry picker and such....and it is a hell of a lot harder to paint the engine bay with an engine in it...fucker

 

Paint the car first, then install motor, then rad support. How hard is that?

I don't care if you have a cherry picker I still picture so scratching something .

Just bolt the rad support on for easy removal.

 

see thats the difference between you and me justin, i am good like that and won't scratch shit, you apparently would...haha, and the k motor fits in the engine bay better than b so if i scratched anything i should quit doing swaps.....

 

You keep letting yourself think that

Thats why you got Mike to help you because you couldn't remove the rad on your on BWAWWAHAAHHAHAHAHA bitch

 

nah, cause he said he would come over and help, yea, new concept for you man, friends, who are actually willing to help....yea...it's like that
