that tunnel needs bracing before you hang the trans from it, and honestly it should have been braced before the mounting plates were welded in. I would brace the tunnel before you build the trans mount. especially since you cut out the factory bracing for the floor. ---

Interested to see what you will do with rear subframe/diff mounting. ---

Hey, I’ve been busy working on other things but I’ve still managed to keep on moving forward with this project. I mounted the motor and after I realized that I can not use the civics front suspension and need to use the front suspension of the 240. I had to move the motor back for the right wheel fitment under the civics front fenders. I had to cut a even bigger hole in the firewall. [ATTACH=CONFIG]24188[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]24189[/ATTACH] I cut the top of the strut towers out to fit the 240’s strut through. I welded in some temporary brackets to hold the struts so I can see how the car will sit. [ATTACH=CONFIG]24190[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]24191[/ATTACH] After I got my shock hieght and caster angle I started to build a strut tower using the first brackets as a skeleton to weld my steel to. Later I cut the skeletons out after I finished building my new strut towers. [ATTACH=CONFIG]24192[/ATTACH] ---

This is awesome! Going to be a riot to drive! You get the idea from the youtube video with this swap? You by chance have the front fender side markers off the old 240 laying around? ---
