Picking up the head this weekend and spring is finally here, hoping to start back up on the engine bay soon…updates and pics will coming
I guess I won’t see you on May 1st for the meet…
All my pics got deleted and I finally had a chance to restore them so I can start posting updates again. Here’s some progress on the engine bay, prepped and painted the oil pan & cross member, got the head back, got some CP Forged Pistons and Forged Eagle Rods for the block. More updates on the way!!
forum is looking good!! Major updates on the way!
Hell yes … have you heard that new Talib Kweli???
Build looks awesome!
Cleaned, prepped and sanded the IM and also put my turbo manifold back together.
This is one of the best DA’s ever assembled. :bowdown:
Wow! Your engine bay was really nice to begin with, can`t wait to see it done!!
Wow…Thanks for the compliments guys! Hopefully painting the Engine bay and trunk this Sunday, I’ll post up pics. I gotta say, the Dry Ice trick worked like a charm on the trunk! Here’s another pic of the Forged CP Pistons. I also put in a huge order of OEM Honda parts to my old roomate from college who is an engineer for Honda Corp. now in Ohio, it’s nice having a hook up! Waiting on the block to come back in the next month…so this project is really rolling again finally.
Kevin - How are you bro? Maybe we can get together soon?
Also you can see in the pic from the winter I share my garage with my Twin brother who has a 92 EG hatch. He’s got a build going at the same time if anyone is interested here is the link.
