Black bay was cool until you made this post lol.
Anyone catch the panels that i cut out welded in new ones in the bay? or where i boxed off the engine mount brackets. Wanted it to look like someone poured liquid glass in and everything to smooth and flow well. I might have taken it a little far, and there will be some hater i am sure that will come in and be like nice filler job, but i did a lot of custom metal work as well,practically everything in front of the shock tower to the frame rail is my metal, and is radius'd for that flowing feel. The filler was applied in small thin layers, no a goop job. After the outside gets done, i don't want to see a thing of sand paper again. lol.

Ooo and its not cool now? Lol. Cause I said I used filler in spots? Or cause I said I made my own engine bay panels? Lol

Sorta shaved, Sorta tucked. First honda ever, let alone first build on anything.
Im going to be doing something with the brake booster here and brake lines shortly, just not quite sure what. Been wanting to re-do the bay purple as well, but will probably just leave it be for a while.

from what i can tell theyre an earth junction plug? i havent delved into it much yet? if that is the case can i remove the plug and make a large solder joint for all the earths to join into?

You can do that. I decided to keep mine for ease of service. The clip onto the support bracket under the manifold and are out of sight anyway.
But be careful and pay attention to what goes where. There are actually two separate circuits in each plug, so you'll need to create four junctions on you harness to replace them.

thats cool, so each plug has 2 earth clusters in. so i need to split the plugs and join all the earths on each circuit into a single node then insulate. that should save me alot of room and make the loom alot smaller, cheers man

I think the 2002 comment was meaning that it's an old car. Maybe 4 or more years ago it was done.
