Bought my Del Sol with previously damaged front. It was liveable but always had issues with fit up of lights and the CS has been weak from having been crushed and then puled out. I now have the engine bay empty to replace the P20 B000 tranny. Good a time as any to make her well, right?

 

upodate
All better now, measure, trim, re-measure, re-trim, tack, re-measure, weld,re-measure. In spec and ready for seal and paint, yeay!!

 

nice, keep it coming! how much did you pay for the core support replacement?

 

paid a hundred at a local yard, got them to cut it behind the motor mounts, more of a nose cut actually. got lucky

 

done and done. yeay!!!
Tranny's rebuilt and back in too (see my other thread).
Everthing bolts up and lines up tight, just like it oughta, now setting my sights on paint.

would you be able to give me those measurements?

 

you can find all you need art redpepperracing.com site.
they have service manuals you can view and even download the pages you need.
it's no picnic but with abit of patience and the right tools, it's achievable. and at least you'll know how good or not it is at tbe end.mine came in within .75mm.
not bad for a rookie.

 

thank you! lol my car has been here waiting for some1 to find measurements for about 1 year. I have the patience but its running low. (I like how yours turned out)

 

sorry umm I can't find it? can you go to the page where you found them and copy\paste the address?

Go to the service manual tab
find your make and model
go to body sub-album
find frame dimensions

 

There is no section for honda del sol. If there is I can't find it

 

sorry dude, been outta touch. I used the Civic #s for the frame datums. I replaced my core support with the factory frame beams cut behind the engine mounts. They were damaged on my old front end and that way I only had to make sure the frame #s were right and the core support to engine stays oem.
just gotta make real sure the splice welds are reinforced and good penetration. just how i did it. sorry for the confusion.
