    Was able to complete a video of the build.
    Mostly a slideshow of the progress but the last part is a 2K video of the engine.
    Hope y'all will check it out.

    Thanks to everyone for your comments.
    Means a lot after so much hard work to hear a little praise.
    Well been busy on a lot of small stuff. Polishing break lines, A.C lines, clutch lines and making some new ones.
    Took the cluster out and put in the chrome tach rings as well as some LED's.
    Also rewired the cruise control to the center console. Gonna put a couple rocker switches in for set and cancel.
    Sorry no picks. Just been doing ALOT of small tedious jobs.
    Next post will have some good picks and bigger updates for sure.

      You have put in some elbow grease and it shows! Nice work, I wish I had the patience to polish everything up, but I get maybe 5 mins in and I'm bored.

        Well its been long enough I should give some updates.


        Got the Non-ABS system all hooked up and done. Hopefully I have everything right. We'll see when it hits the ground.
        Also used NWAccords idea I saw for the fuel injector resistor box location and made a little bracket for it to hide some wires.




        Checking to make sure I had the brake lines ran right to bolt up I stuck the front suspension in temporarily.




        Finished the radiator retainer brackets I hand made. Turned out ok but could use some more polishing.
        Also cleaned up and painted the cross member,(K member). Used VHT Roll Bar & Chassis Paint.
        You can also see in this picture that I painted the backside of the headlights black. Think it looks a lot cleaner than the old worn out grey




        Shot of the finished blacked out headlights and gutted 90-91 grill.




        Got a lot done on the interior but still some more to go. Mahogany steering wheel is all done with a clock spring I made for the horn. Intalled the chrome cluster gauge rings.
        Also ran a wire for the cruise control set to put in to the center console. The shifter knob is by MarksMillworks. You can check him out on Etsy. Does some great work!


        And I finally got the engine put in.
        I Love it. Really is turning out how I'd pictured it in my head
        ... like a year ago, lol.



        A couple small hiccups but nothing to major. I plan on covering those in a video later. Not long now!
        Unfortunately I have some other projects stealing time away from the coupe. Hopefully I can still have it on the road by October.


        Also, I put another video up on YouTube of a walk around the car. Please check it out. If you like it then please like and follow. I'd like to do more if I see people enjoy the videos.

        Here is an older video I did of the build too if you missed that.

        Thanks for checking out my work.

            Thanks man! Its been an amazing process and I'm pretty happy with the results. Cant wait to get it on the road!
            Not sure it'll ever be done though. I'm always seeing something else I'll want to do with it next, lol.
            I am amazed by all the ingenuity and creative process shown on yours. Really a great MR page man.
            BTW, I'll be looking to follow your lead on the power vent windows, lol.
            Saw a video of them and immediately started looking on your page to see how you did it.

              Well She's on the ground for the first time in 18 months! Couldn't help myself and had to take it around the block a couple times. The car drives amazing!
              With the suspension I'm not sure if it just hasn't settled enough yet or if I'll have to go back through and lower the spring seats a notch on the Konis.
              Currently on the rear one side is three fingers from the fender and the other is two.

              I'm waiting on a couple fittings and a hose for the aluminum reservoir I put in and finish the power steering.
              However after driving briefly without it I don't want it! I'd never driven without the pump hooked up, its easy to steer and feels great!
              Wish I'd known this before I put the engine back in!
              Well for now Ill just finish the set up but I definitely would like to get rid of it.
              I'll be looking for info on deleting it.

              Also I have another video up of the engine install.

                Looks great man! And OMG putting an engine in is way easier with 2+ people
                And ya, you're going to have to disconnect that PS line to move it, but no big deal.

                  The engine bay looks fantastic! It's good to see you've had the chance to drive it. I've been driving my car for about 5 years now without power steering and it's been just one less thing to worry about. Ultimately I want to try out the diy that removes the springs or valves out of the rack that makes it even easier to steer. Good stuff man.

                    Thanks. Yeah I'm definitely down for having help, lol.
                    I'm sure one of my roommates would have been happy to help but I was stuck on "all done by me".
                    Really it wasn't that bad though.

                    Thanks Mike. Yeah I'm really happy with it. I'm actually almost done with her just haven't had time to do a proper update yet.
                    For the power steering that is exactly what I'm planning to do. Just gonna grab one out of the yard, rebuild it and convert it.
                    For now the power steering and aluminium reservoir are all hooked up and working good. No leaks.

                      Well I've been slacking off on documenting the work and progress.
                      However I have not been slacking on the work and progress, lol.
                      I really wanted to get her done and on the road after 18 months so I just went all out on it the last few weeks.
                      Its been a ton of fun! Love the Koni's with Vogtland springs on the Cooper performance tires.
                      Incredible handling through the corners and a comfortable ride.

                      I was able to take it to Import Face Off on November 3rd and put her in the show.
                      She actually Won! Best old school!
                      Pretty cool and a nice surprise since I was right next to a super clean right hand drive JDM 3rd Gen Prelude!
                      Also this guy Chris, shot some nice video of it at the show and posted it. I'll link it here:
                      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6swY...A&index=2&t=0s

                      This winter I'll be putting in new adjustable rear control / toe arms, front SPC camber ball joints.
                      Getting my p28 so I can quit throwing a cell for EGR.
                      I have it all hooked up under the dash vacuum and all but no luck it still throws the cell.

                      Anyway here are a few new pics.
                      I'll also link my YouTube again for anyone not on yet.
                      https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWG..._as=subscriber
                      I'll have some new content up in a couple weeks.
                      Thanks!
