Yes sir it is. I fabed up some radiator brackets today, will have pics up later.

 

Ok here's the pics

I cut it out of a peace of aluminum




A little more bending


done




And a little company name I started (well maybe)




Stands for P.I.G Performance

 

I should be ordering my shift links tomorrow and she will see a little trip around the block!!!

 

i want some of those radiator stays!!!


why dont you make them to use BOTH bolt holes?

 

That other holes holds on the front peace. That is why I cut around it like that, I'll have pics up of that soon, ran out of stainless bolts.

Unless you mean the factory holes, then I just didn't have a big enough peace to cut like that. It is hard to find a big peace of aluminum around here, well being that thick.

Got some more done tonight.............. I am not going to go with the black hood, so I got another one and I am shaveing that, well I did.







man I really should not show this pic:






The bay is pretty much done
Picked up some more of these








Thats all for now, I put some bondo over the welds and I will sand them down tomorrow, man I am getting old, time for bed!!!

 

sell me some radiator stays.

 

I gotta make them, I'll let you know when I'm done. You can just pay me for the shipping and the aluminum.

 

nice!!!!!!!!! good luck on both your projects

 

youre the man..3 projects in one thread..gotta love it. what do you do for a living? you got skills

 

Oddly enough I am an insurance agent.

This stuff is just what I love. I want to do every thing I can my self, and not because I'm a cheep *** (yeah I am) it's because I want to be able to do it all and say "I did that".

Like the first time you do your own brakes and it turns out good. You kind of feel good about your self.

I have a lot of work ahead and I am trying not to rush my self, but still get done before I die, lol.

I am taking the door off the white one because of the hole in the driver door of the blue one and with the white one already having all the hole problems I thought it just fit better there. I'll fix the hole I just know it will not look perfect and I want my blue one to look and run the best it can, if not; all this work will be for nothing..........

 

Got the **** links in yesterday and the bushings in the UCA so I should get all that done tonight........I hope.


I was looking at the old stuff and I think I have come a pretty long way so far:

mad props.. like very clean.... keep up the good work...

 

looking good

 

Here's some more work:

Found out one of the wheels are bent but they balanced out so I guess I'm cool there. I had to get another wheel bearing, I messed up the other one, so this is now slowing me down. I got all the driver side done and the shift links installed.



























this is a bitch

 

man Ive gotta say, this is the best build thread ive seen. You keep us updated and your very talented

btw- your little girl that looks about 5 looks EXACTLY like your wife!

 

Yeah, she has a pic of when she was little and it's like looking at the same kid.

Thanks for the complements.

My wife took the kids and went out of town for about 5 days, so there is going to be non stop work till they get back wooohooo.

 

heck yeah! so how is the married life? im contemplating it myself, just a bit nervous..

oops off topic, bump for more pics

 

[QUOTE=CBURKE]Here's some more work:

this is a bitch

[QUOTE]did you get the whole thing in?? if so, how?!!? cause mine is currently like that and i couldnt pass it through for the life of me, it actually broke my brand new C clamp trying to sqeeze that bitch in!! and hammering away moved it absolutley no where!! i just slid the little metal ring over in and called it a day

 

No it's still like that. I think I'm good, I mean hell if I can't get it in then I'll never get it out. You can heat it up and that will help, but I think I am just going to leave it.

 

I got a pick and hammer and it went right in.

 

Nice. I wish I could put more time into my ride. Marriage is great and kids are a blessing but time owns you!! As well as mula!!!!!

JG

 

^^ no kidding..................

Well last night I got the tb cable on, the exhaust on and all the sup in on. I need to bleed the brakes, put some MTF in the tranny, then she is well, some what drivable.

The tb cable is a nice little peace, it went in really easy and looks good, just for those that cut and re-solder there links. The shift link fit sooooo nice, witch is weird because the same link I got from a shop here I got from e-bay and the one from the shop does not fit right...........o yell.

I now know if your speedo is not hooked up you will not get v-tec!!!
It took me all day yesterday to get that, lol.

I also see that I have no knock sensor hooked up, so I went ahead and wired one up and it must be bad, the car will not rev past 4,000 rpm.

There is a loud tingeing coming from where the knock sensor is so I am thinking because it's not hooked up that is why I here that noise.
Half way there now!!!

 

I am finding that I will need the knock sensor, or I need the ECU chipped to delt it. I was getting some codes but I had for got to re-set the ECU so I got a code 17 (vss) and 22-23, witch 23 is the knock and 22 it the vtec oil sending unit. Fixed all but the 23. The intake is only temp...........

Heres a few pics and a little vid.....it's a little dark but you get the idea. There is a loud ticking that comes and goes so I am thinking it's the knock, don't know.


How about some Greddy
