    Yes. Let me know what you need. It is a complete car. I'm keeping the H22a4 as a back up engine, or for a future build. I'm also keeping the tranny. At this point the only other parts I'm keeping so far are dash components for this swap and maybe the carpet...not sure if it'll swap into my car nicely or not. I bought new cb7 carpet from TAS Auto and it fits like crap. It'll take a lot of work to make it look nice, but could be done. If the lude carpet fits it might just use that...

      Just out of curisoty ... why not use the 4G one with the digital cluster?
      Never been a huge fan of digital clusters, plus you gotta remember that I'm getting all these parts from my BB6 parts car.

        Update!!!!!!

        Here are the pics from today.

        Today I extended the wires on the cluster pigtails to neaten up the dash harness. Also, I started fabbing up the ends of the dash. What I've basically don is created a form on the front side of the dash. What this does for me is holds the two pieces of the dash together so that I can remove and install the dash for fitment purposes. Since I'm molding the perimeter of the CB7 dash to the inner portion of the BB6 dash, I have to fill in the gaps between the two pieces. You'll see what I mean when you look at the picture of the top of the dash. You can see the gap between the two pieces right behind the defroster vents. The fiberglass matt that I laid on the corners of the dash will be removed, but only after I've filled in the gaps from the backside with structural foam, and reinforced it from the back side. Next week I'll do the same across the top of the dash. After I've filled in the seam from the backside and reinforced it, I'll pop the fiberglass molds off the outside, grind a shallow groove along the top of the seam, and reinforce it with plastic repair adhesive and mesh tape. At this point it'll be as strong as if it was made that way from the factory. To smooth it off, I'll use a thin layer of duraglass. After that, my friend will re-upholster it with black Alcantara suede to match my Recaro seats.

        Here are the pics!

                  Man, that is really thinking out of the box. I can't wait to see this when you are done. Thiunk there might be an issue if it does raise the shifter higher or you think it would be minimal and not an issue for the cables to fit?

                  I may be talking out of my ass but I am just wondering IF it does raise the shifter fi any at all.

                      After doing some research, I don't think I'm gonna move the shifter. I'm probably just gonna transfer the ebrake lever and mounting tabs for the center console. We'll see. I'm gonna keep the updates coming next week!

                            I don't know if it this will help, but I had a whole prelude shifter assembly in my car including the cables. Basicly a bolt on using 2 /4 bolts, the front bolts won't fit. The throw was a lil shorter, but I put back the accord shifter assembly , still using the prelude cables , had to do a lil fab work To make em work.

                              I think it already looks great, sick man, sick, lol. Could you share how you made you fiberglass caps on the end? Im really interested in learning everything I can about fiberglass, lol.

                                I cleaned both dash portions with a wax/grease remover so that masking tape would stick to the vinyl. I basically bridged the gap between the lude dash and cb dash with masking tape, and then covered all areas to be fiberglassed with masking tape. Then using a bag of chop mat and some fiberglass resin from O'Reilys, I cut up little squares of chop mat, brushed resin into them and applied them over the masking tape. Doing this on the ends allows me to pull the dash in and out for fitment without worrying about it falling apart or anything.

                                These caps are not permanent, they're just for support and for providing a backing surface when I flip the dash upside down and fill the gaps with structural bonding foam. After I do that and reinforce the backside, I'll pop the end cap molds off and throw them away. I'll have some minor finishing work to do to the outside, but it'll be re-upholstered in black Alcantara suede.

                                Lots of excellent fiberglass info here: www.the12volt.com
