got the engine dropped in today, have to mess with and adjust the rear mount bracket some reason the holes dont want to line up

90HondaDA

rear t mount bracket is in axles and halfshaft are in, linkage is hooked up and in

De rustifying this car is taking so damn long, Took two days to take apart the front passenger suspension bead blast/wire brush it and refinish it so it doesn't look like pure butt.

Slowly but surely she is coming along on the road to recovery

Pictures!!!

Front upper control arm mounting nuts. (left) refinished(right) rusty nasty



driver side(what passenger used to look like) not cleaned up yet.


Passenger(all cleaned up, besides actual caliper, as soon as it gets warm, i ll take care of that also)

So i remembered that i had a set of front calipers off of my old LS, and well we decided to go ahead and clean them up, because they were in way better condition. Also had bought some Dupli Color red Caliper paint like a year ago and never used it, so i thought we would test it out. FYI cold and this paint dont mix well, thanks to the heat gun and figuring how to lay it on we got it done. The driver side suspension is almost all cleaned up.

Pics of the calipers, have pics of the driver side suspension up tomorrow hopefully.

Also dont worry, i will be getting new bleed valves for them. The bracket it black.

90HondaDA

impact driver

95-db6-719

Manual impact driver for the rotor screws. Wasn't to bad. And the passenger slid right off the driver side wasn't the case. Had to smack behind the rotor with a sledge and turn it a quarter turn at a time. Lol it eventually came off.
