installing the motor from the top was easier than a d series (honda tuning mag rec. using a lift and installing motor from bottom)

Good progress:tup:

Looking good :tup:

looking goooooood :tup:

Be careful with those mounts…the rear mount on my b16 broke. Innovative mounts.

lets hope it doesn’t happen to me since i cant just go out and buy another brand like hasport because i have to reweld the tranny mount all over again.

much better

I’ll buy the k20 swap from you :slight_smile:

is the whole car painted? or just the engine bay so far?

also wondering what your plans are for the interior of the car

great work so far man :tup:

so far just working on the engine bay and then putting it together. as for the interior, its going to be fully gutted and painted, a roll bar, bucket seat and a dash board. if i can find some decent door panels then thats all.
