...now I have no place to mount the prop.valve, power steering reservoir, air filter box...
man u dont need a damn air box grab a snorkel ( so i can c how U install it and do the same ...)
as for the power steering reservoir could it b rotated to the side of the inner fender still behind the drivers head light.....
lost me on a prop.valve :roll: what is that ...???

Just remove all the power steering stuff and replace it with an MR2 electric pump and reservoir tank. Means you can mount it where ever you want and take a *tiny* bit of stress away from the engine.
I'm sure you have a spare blower assembly?
I spoke with Pat and he said you were making a trip to the metal super market.
I guess you did by looking at that.
No he doesnt have any spares i got it from him @ Honda Fools meet ( it gets cold up here n Virginia ) LMAO
where is this metal super market .. i need a piece of steel to support the winch and bolt to my cross member ...

+300 more baller points obviously
think Bam is in a league so much higher than Baller Points...
oh wait maybe he is building this one for STANCE... or parking lot profiling @ the friday night local fast food meets ..
I'm on a tear now. I'm ready to see this thing on its feet again!
Cut out some frame/apron extensions
spacers for the crossmember drops will tie into these plates (3/16" steel)
mount is just barely tacked up there to give me an idea
Note the forward end of that reinforcement hangs way out- that's about 3" beyond the bumper. Oughta give me a good foundation for whatever silliness I decide to add to the front. What I want is a plate bumper if I can build it light enough.
Saturday fun: started out cutting parts from the donor to mount front crosssmember
Those extended plates ended up getting clipped off, didn't work out. Partly because I wanted to have the stock bolt-on locations in case I have to run a traction bar.
That took up a good part of the afternoon, then ZCPower_R came by in his SCed wagon. Good thing, too!
see where the blower pulley is? 4" down from there...

My mind went to hell on that comment.

Little silver thing on the passenger side shock tower.
Yes, but I've removed the place where the proportioning valve was. I'll have to relocate it a little lower. Really the least of my problems atm.
literally :oops:
while welding this piece, I got the firewall a little warm
guess that's what I get for welding on a fully dressed car, huh? Look what I did to the blower housing:
It's coming together slowly
Good job man!!

Yes, I have spares (duh)
Yes, I did go buy some steel.
Made some strides tonight...
Managed to get the other side done with no flameage. In fact, I stripped the firewall first this time
pattern first with cardboard, then transfer to metal
Got the tops done, time to move underneath again!
I cant remember how close it is there with a Dseries
I AM concerned whether the supercharger will clear the firewall and apron. And how the steering shaft will work...
I might have to stop by on my way down to see the progress in person, next Saturday... Except I am meant to be at a Wedding...
Bam totally nuts dude.
I thought that was meat and a vice

Here's my sketch
Um... Is that a rocket launcher on the side... like on an attack chopper? ...cause that would be sweet....
Either that, or he's planning on playing Polo with the car...
Naw, that's just a side view of the bumper.
