Default Fab and Wiring shop in SoCal

Any recommendations for a shop to do a B series swap, wiring, and some fab work in SoCal?

Not trying to discourage you from the build, just curious - Why not just build a Honda instead of the Mirage? If you're paying for someone else to do the swap fabrication and wiring, it may make more sense cost wise to just get a Honda chassis.

Sounds like a cool build though, and I know you mentioned in another thread you're more familiar with Mitsu. If you get the swap done be sure to post results, that'd be neat.

Ahh it was was an idea by a friend of mine. He's doing the same swap on a DSM. He's sending his car to NorCal but I'm on the east coast. Honda chassis would be easier but not as unique or cool. My chassis is also well sorted out and I don't want to go through the hassle of set up and aero again.

Makes sense.

Please remember us and keep posting if/when you make progress on the swap. We'd be interested to see! I'm not from Cali nor have any real "connections" there, so unfortunately can't really provide any advice for your question here.

Are you ready to spend 20k, have your car sit in a shop for 3 years and never actually be finished? Seriously just use a Mitsubishi engine, parts availability and cost are no better for Honda unless you go K series.
