-News-... I should have my engine within the next week. Pictures to follow.

'79 Civic B16A DOHC VTEC Project Pics

Bellow are some pictures of my front fiberglass clip, Thanks to Justin. Might be one of the only ones in existance. Will work wonders covering my tube framed engine bay.

First: Here is a close up of the "chassis Rails" this will be my mounting point for the tube frame. You can also see where I have began to scratch off the "undercoating" in the wheel well, if anyone knows of a good way please lemme know.TeamTHP@aol.com


Here you can see where the old paint meets the primer, the only part of the car that has yet to be stripped of the old original paint is what is left of the engine bay.


Here is a straight on shot, The car is totally stripped exept for the front windshield, and the rear suspension... Not even the fuel tank was safe from my dismanteling. Now that it is so light I can pick up the front end and wheel the car around like a wheelbarrow.


This picture helps show the look of the car now that it has lost about 1/3 of it's length.


Here you can see the whole that has already been made in the firewall from cutting out the torque rod mount and suport. This picture also shows the Interior is now painted all black with sound deadening matterial... I removed the thick, heavy factory "rubber" mat sound deadening. The new type I spayed in is much lighter. I am still desiding on if I will be installing dynamat (or the like) for added sound killing due to its excesive weight, but then again with 160+hp coming out stock from the engine the extra weight may not be a big problem.
