#244841 So have been building this car for WAY to long and now need it ready so have been pulling out all the stops and my wallet to get the final few bits to get her running.

Spec is similar to my last coupe and much of the parts have come over from it

http://www.civic-eg.com/viewtopic.php?t=4120&highlight=

So current spec list is

So here's a few pics of where I'm up to

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

So have had to stretch the wiring loom on both the engine side and car side.

Started like this

Image

Took this out of it

Image

And have mocked it up ready to wrap it once I get the new longer power leads

Image

Car side loom has been extended and put in place with the odd bit moved to hide it

Image
Image
Image

Have installed my new battery, don't forget I'm in the UK so is behind the passenger seat

Image
Image
Image

Have started welding all none needed holes and seam welded in the engine bay then ground down all excess weld and started to add the filler and sanding back the excess of that to shape it all nice.

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

My custom Hel brake lines arrived

Image

As I already have Goodridge lines from the callipers I had the Hel lines made to marry up with these as so, here's a test fit.

Image

Have fitted all the poly bushes throughout and had a bit of fun getting the old ones out, my method was to use a shopping trolly I found round the back of my unit, a broken pallet and some brake cleaner and hey presto FIRE :thumb:

Image
Image
Image
Image

The old bush still burning, love it

Image


All new poly bushes fitted

Image

Here a few pics of other bits still to go on the car and things that I've done.

Sunroof visor
Image

Image
Image
Image

This is my Rear brake hard lines now on the inside of the firewall

Image

Trailing arm bushes fitted

Image

Here's my rear suspension fitted in place, still need to set ride hight all round

Image
Image

Here's hope stiff my set up was on my old coupé

Image

Will keep more pics coming as I get more done hope you like this and please leave comments and opinions.

#245096 Every Coupe was built in the US and then sent to each country after that and I believe the same is said for the del sol that they were all built in Japan and sent to each country from there.

Thanks for the coments so far am waiting on my new benen fuel rail then will be able to mock up the lengths for the custom fuel line and get that ordered so will get some more pics up soon

#245136 Bloody hell you're doin a proper job on this! love it!

Also where'd you manage to pick up that roof visor? Been looking for one of those for bloody ages!

Love the look of your garage too! Is that a B series next to the del sol just laying about? :P

Just checked out your old coupe - phoar. Looks real sleeper considering what it was like, and that road trip to the 'ring looked proper fun. Planning another trip this year?

Thanks fella.

I got the visor off of Boricuanology on here so it came over from the US.

Yes thats one of the spare B series engines I have, in total I have 4 blocks 3 gear boxes and loads of other engine and chassis parts. That pick is only half of my unit the other side has the Supra and a Mk1 Golf Gti in it plus then we have storage outside which now has 2 del sol's an LDV van and a Mk1 Golf Cab.

Yeah the ring is amazing I poo'd my pants all the way round, would love to go back again this year just not sure as my Mrs is due to give birth to my first kid in May so might have to wait till next year at least.
