Damn man you're hardcore

today i started to tear down the swap from the donor Integra LS... it has over 100k and is a 5 speed... dunno about the tranny though i will probably take one off a DA integra just so i dont have to deal with getting a cable to hydro adpater... here is a pic of the motor going into the EF... It'll neeed a good clean up... but that aint no thang...

I love when someone pulls a car out of the graveyard and breathes life back into it. I don't care what make or model it is. Keep up the progress and pics! Rock on!

yea man, I could definitively use someof your expertise and tips you got, also just to have someone who knows what their doing... Thanks for the props
... you plan on coming to PC anytime soon?

Just picked up a cable tranny out of an 1990 LS at the yard... also got throttle cable, ECU, Intermediate shaft, axles (for core charge), shift linkage and rear T bracket... I pulled the whole motor just to get to the tranny... took me all freekin day by myself... plus I was helping others around, being the nice guy i am...

Going back tomorrow to get more stuff like valve cover, radiator, alternator (for core), master cylinder w/ booster and rear disk with trailing arms, e-brake cables and hopefully brake lines intact...

I just did some grinding around the shock towers, it was kinda pitted so i took my Dremel to it, I figured I could just fill it in with metal glaze since it not a complete hole... Will it hold up? My project was interrupted by a friend who messed up a car stereo hook up... it got really cold after that so I called it a day... I need to find me a welder... found one for $100. just gotta come up with the cash...

Those are not holes, thats where they were welded together, theres 3 layers of sheet metal in that area, from factory they are spot welded together by a special clamping device.

good thing i didnt grind them down all the way then, right? Did you get my PM Rob? I might be coming to FW soon to pickup some rims... Not sure yet... I might need some parts too from you...

So today I am trying to do a wire tuck... here is where i started...
