so this is my new 95 integra i recently picked up and i been working like a slave on this car since the day i picked it up. all my time so far has been devoted to completly shaving out the entire engine bay. every single one of the stupid extra usueless holes honda has and every other opening that is not needed for the look im trying to acheive is being shaved for the smooth clean look. and the rad support is off because once the bay is all done being body worked prepped and painted the jdm front end will be going on. so heres my progess so far...

Yeah I dont have the patients to do that either, but I wish I did.. its gonna look SICK man.

 

today i spent all day continuing to body work the engine bay. the passengers side is for the most part finished. i primed it up jus to get a feel for what it would look like. im extremly happy with the results inorimer so i cant wait to see it painted. still needs a lil more fine touchs in some spots but thats for another day. im beat now but wanted to post up the progess. so here ya go...

shot of the passenger side bay


up close of the front of it


the firewall holes shaved (and yes i kno i shaved the wholes for the harnesses. i relocated them to a spot that is easier for the wire tuck and totally hideen with the engine in the bay, the fuse box is also inside the car now

 

Hard work pays off man, you'll be proud of it in the end ...

dude this car is far from being rushed haha. you havent actually seen it in person yet but if u did ud be like. oh, ok. i see what u meant haha

 

so where is your fuse box gonna go in the glove box? looking great so far too. did u use bondo for the holes or you welded shut then sanded

the interior is pretty much set up as a drag car style interior i guess u could say. theres a 10pt cage a seat the dash and a shitload of gauges lol. but the fuse box is where the glove box would be. there the cover plate for the glove box but nothing actually in there except the fuse box. the heater core and a.c. stuff is all out of there too so theres plenty of room under there haha. and as for the bay i welded every single entire hole and made patterns and welded them in too for the bigger holes. then i used the green bondo from an actualy body shop to do the finihsing touches. **** takes foreverrrr

 

nice, i already did a wire tuck and looks so much cleaner, ill be shaving all those stupid pointless holes later on when i get my dc2 front end also and put that on... def. lookin nice so far.

im talking about spraying over bolts, the brake lines and getting the dings out of the bay while you can now

are you going to do brake lines? body shop sean did, talk to him about them yo!

u mean like taking all the bolts out so they dont get sprayed or leaving them in there so they can get sprayed?

there isnt one single ding dent or n e thing in the bay n e more. as far as im concerned u could spray water all over it and have a slip n slide

and what do u mean about the brake lines?

 

Looks really good....

 

this is seans bay, its a shitty picture but you can notice the brakelines are tucked.




heres a better one:
look at the firewall:

compared to this bay:



do it.

 

way ahead of your bro lol and i dont have a brake booster anymore, its just the master cylinder and resovoir so yes the firewall is totally blank nothing on it. i think someones just trying very hard to figure out exactly whats getting done on this project haha

 

im just making sure its all that its hyped up to be lol

 

= pearl

haha

 

dont disappoint anyone!

 

yeah, that looks to be a headache. pull through with it & you'll be satisfied
