i didnt get a chance to work on it, i had a volvo and a different honda that i had to work on. the jobs came up at the last minute.

i did however get a chance to do a little last night. i hooked up the battery terminal wires, battery tray, installed a throttle cable from a ls, installed speedometer cable, installed gauge cluster and cluster cover, change out stock prop valve for a 40/40 valve, and took off the front suspension to make way for the new setup. oh and i started to change out the old rotors and pads on my rear disc swap and put on new ones. once i get that done ill be doing the rear disc swap too. heres some pics of whats laying around in the garage and the gauges in the car:

update:

the springs and struts are on the car, along with a rear disc swap out of a 92 integra. since i had most of the suspension off, i installed the energy suspension kit. i had some issues with a couple of bushings, but nothing i couldn handle:

old bushing

old bushing out

bushing from other arm in above arm(the energy suspension kit didnt come with these bushings)

my next issue was getting a fan onto my radiator. a stock fan wouldnt fit in there so i grabbed a slim fan and figured a way of mounting. i took some zip ties and some washers and fed the zip ties through the fins in the radiator, inserted the zip tie into the washer, and then fed it back through the radiator. drilled a couple of holes, and attached the fan via the zip ties.

zip tie in

washer to hold zip tie from ripping through the fins

all done side one

all done side two

the fan does not move and i think im gonna start mounting all my slim fans this way from now on.

the car currently sitting in my driveway awaiting on some tires before i can actually start to drive it around.
