jdmisaac project sol build thread.
So I just recently picked up a new project(1993 del sol) from a buddy and figured i'd go ahead and start me a build thread to show my progress on it as i go.when i got the car it had a f20b swapped in it.the f20b will be swapped out with a poor man type r,and the entire car will be completely redone. please do not copy my engine bay as i have a ton of time in it and was going for something unique but do enjoy and post all comments and opinions good or bad you won't hurt my feelings!!
sorry for such shitty quality pics the majority were taken with an iphone but better ones coming soon!
Future plans for vehicle:
wire/brake/fuel/clutch full bay tuck(in progress)
fresh wheels
rear disc conversion
s2k cluster and steering wheel swap
fully build the b series swap
turbo setup
different suspension setup(is on ebay coils and camber kits good enough for now)
body work and full exterior paint a different color
possibly get shop/company sponsors
and hope for a detailed ad in honda tuning or other magazines
How it was the day i brought it home
pulled the f20 out and traded for this poor man r valve cover will be redone and such but this is how it was when i got it
Then started yanking brake lines and wiring to start prepping for engine bay paint
Dash and ac/heat setup had to come out for proportion valve relocate
Semi Gloss black base coat (rattle can)
Then laid a little splatter over the base coat and several layers of clear to protect it
this is my newest addition to it got some minty s2k leathers and did a complete delsol pan and rail swapover so they're held down by all 4 bolts if you'd like more info or pics on this i have some of the process very easy to do just time consuming
Test Fit have full interior it's just pulled so i could clean everything real good
latest update got brake lines and bulkheads and have about completed the brake tuck
pics are just to mock up lines haven't been tightened down and prop valve not mounted legit yet
Update as of 11/15/2010
(specialed6) came over today and put his tuck skills to the test we got the headlight harnesses tucked today and reassembled front end
passenger side
driver side
under driver's fender with windshield wiper harness tucked through as well
done for the night
update 11/17/2010 fuse block relocation
that shit wasn't any fun
isn't mounted secure yet but it's in it's location
And here are some other random pics of the car i took on my friend's camera
so that's all my progress so far will be updated regularly with progress
thanks for viewing

Re: jdmisaac project sol build thread.
I copied your engine bay years ago, when I let mini Gallagher get in there with a mini sledge-o-matic and some mini paint tubes, and he mini hit, his mini shit all over the mini bay.
Congrats, an epileptic painted your bay.

Re: jdmisaac project sol build thread.
I think it could be pretty good if you were to finish the whole car and not just have a bay done. Get the valve cover powdercoated and not leave it that spray green.
