One day I'm going to drive this thing!  HAHA!!   I was working on a harness for another car, thought it would be a good idea to do them at the same time.  I guess it wasn't a bad idea, just a lot of yucky wiring to deal with.  I got it done and also put a Acura Integra wiper motor on it.  Thanks for the how to thread Spreadbury!!!

nicely done

More progress!


Swapped the motor out, put my S14 SR20DET instead of the S15 SR20DET, I think the S15 and 6 speed should go in my tan car instead.  I ended up scoring all the S15 electronics for the S14 motor , ECU, Injectors, wiring harness, and coil packs.  So it should have some good power.  



It's getting cold out!







Back in for the zillionth time!!!!!




Thanks for the Christmas present Micheal!!!





Mounted the fan, how I lived without a tig welder I don't know.

Removing that stupid step in the rear fenders.... Can't wait to set it on the ground!!!!!!!!! Yeah some bondo fell off behind the rear wheel..... O well. I'll offset the uglyness buy ride height.

Nice crossmember/steering rack.

I don't recognize that other piece with the hair, is that a special accessory?

Sweet build dude.

Been plugging away on the coupe. It's almost a driver. Still needs a little wiring, trans shifter cover, battery tie down and maybe a different brake master. Pedal travel is excessive. Seeing it sitting on the ground is awesome!! Here are some pics of the process.


Taking out the frame so I can roll the rears. I cracked off more bondo... O well. As long as it's low it will offset the slight defects.








The ZX brakes I'd been saving turned out to be rusted solid.





For some reason the brake rod was lilting down. It was originally an auto car with no booster, which most Coupes had a booster. Maybe the booster mounted the rod lower. I ended up re drill the hole higher.








Finished up the piping, also got a new air filter.




















I also swapped the crossmember again. We had a Ford RHD drive steering rack laying around which means I wouldn't have to make a custom steering shaft, Sam helped me swap it over and WOW was it easy! So handy having it all pre made.




Deleted the dumb bean counter mirrors (fender mirrors) for a way better looking one.








Yes on the ground!! Can't wait to take it for a spin!

It's a driver!   Needs some things sorted out but I can and have been driving it around all week.  Well today I took my tan 510 to work for a change, it's also fun to compare them since they are very different.  Coupe needs power steering next.  Manual steering makes the car feel less sporty I've decided.  The coupe sure is smooth with Fritz's CV axlex!!!





first trip

Noice!

Now it's looking good. Did a quick primer job. I had about enough of the 3 tone.

Looks awesome even in primer. And I like that door mirror way better than the fender mounted ones.

Wow, Jeff. Looks awesome!!
