Del Sol breakdown/rebuild (no 56k)

Post by crazysol »

93 honda del sol
The motor was blown when i bought it.

With that said this thread is for the breakdown and build up of my project car.

the work has started.
Image
Image
who has some stock tails to sell
Image
The damage (blown block, hole in oil pan, ...ect)
Image
Image
Image
I dont have a before pic, but the carpet had to be removed (mold)
whos got the hook-up on some carpet.
Image
I think it has a pace setter exhaust. I also need a high flow cat
Image
Image
Today im going through the car and painting the inside black
Image
It was a good idea keeping my old floor mats
Image
Motor had to be riced out alittle to match the tails. Most parts are off and the motor is ready to drop. Anyone reading this who would like to help me with a wire tuck feel free to let me know.
Image

The motor and tranny will be coming out today. I should have my new setup this weekend.

Its not really that hard from all the research I've been doing. The hardest part will be mounting the shift linkage and shifter, then the wiring. Everything else is cake.

I also sprayed the inside with some paint. Keep in mind this is the first coat and it was done in the dark.

Now comes cleaning the engine bay spotless while the motor is out

and i know pacesetter exhaust sucks, but it could have come with some shitty stock exhaust. shitty catback > stock
