[CRXdelsol]

thanx guys im trying to get the engine bay done first so that i can trow in my swap! but just wanted to know if im choosing the right colors, which i like!

[blown_ss]

[CRXdelsol]

Yea i dont like the em1 front end look on the del sol!! N yea no short cut will be made i already did a research and got the whole pic of how to do it!!

**getting the driver side del sol fender tomorrow so by the end of the weekend i should have everything ready to start my front end conversion!

[FasTech]

i am going to be doing an eg front end conversion on the car!!



do a em1 front end. it looks a lot better then the eg.

I have a better idea... Don't do ANY front conversion. Honda created the EM1 and EG front for those cars, not a Del Sol. Besides that, I'm interrested in seeing more of your build.

[JDMDA_1.7]

looks good so far man.

[CRXdelsol]

preciated it!

[Mirage_Turbo]

looks like a good start so far

[wanggsticky]

Unsubscribed. because front ended Eg on a del sol is wacckk

[CRXdelsol]

^^ for you it is! But i like it n think its going to look clean, but thanks for the comment

[blown_ss]

i agree but if he was going to do one then the em1 looks better. it fits the body of a del sol better because the eg front is too small. all in all i would leave it stock.

[Genji-Sama]

Eh, if you were doing a teg, or ek front end I would flame you, but the EG front end looks alright...not my taste, but it looks like it could've been something factory, maybe you can pull it out and make it look alright. G' luck...you really need it

[CRXdelsol]

thanx man, i think when it be done its going to be taste! i will keep yal update it and will try to take pics of every step if someone else wants to do it!!

[CRXdelsol]

Ok so after work i started to work on the valve cover!! And got it like this!!

[jdm eg6]

eg front end looks better

[revenge]

good start should be fun

[EG_Ryder]

Should turn out pretty good, but if you want it to look really clean then match the engine bay color to the exterior. I don't know why people think green goes with everything

[deondre]

i kno you already made up your mind, and i dont kno what everyone is talking about, but a EM1 SI front would look sick as fuck..

[CRXdelsol]

eg front end looks better

Yea i know!!

[CRXdelsol]

i kno you already made up your mind, and i dont kno what everyone is talking about, but a EM1 SI front would look sick as fuck..

Im not a fan of the em1 i seen del sol's with that front end and its not my style!!

[CRXdelsol]

Should turn out pretty good, but if you want it to look really clean then match the engine bay color to the exterior. I don't know why people think green goes with everything
I don't know i want to be clean but not too simple!! I think green n metallic grey will do!!

[CRXdelsol]

Ok so i know i haven't update this thread in a min! But i have the wekeend off n decided to do some work!!
I woke up early and went to pul a part and got me the core support! This is the progress till now let me know what yal ppl think!!

[CRXdelsol]

After all that work im tired lol maybe next week i will connect the fenders n play with hood hinges!!! Need to pressure wash the engine bay to get all the dirt off, n get it ready for paint

[Mr. Clean]

sigh.

if you need a personal trunk though, i got one for hella cheap.

[Genji-Sama]

Im reserving judgement til i see paint on it, or atleast a color choice, bcuz that can really turn a car around. But as for now I like the color on that valve cover :goodjob:

[silversol]

http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u95/panico91889/photo-22.jpg

This was in early 2003 running 12s. I am almost positive this was one of the first if not the first honda in gwinnett to have a engine swap.

Damn, that's beautiful

[FasTech]

Guess I'll be the "Hater" of this build. That front end is horrible on a Del Sol. But I do like the engine bay paint.

[Dirty Octopus™]

I used alot of pieces and wires so im selling what i dont need

[CRXdelsol]

[Starrfire]

IMO I like the eg front end on the del sol but the del sol front end on the eg looks gay if that says anything about the del sol's front end.

[CRXdelsol]

^^x2

[wanggsticky]

gay

[CRXdelsol]

^^ HATER

[Crazydelsol]

Dude I wish i had the skills to do something like that! Reps

[CRXdelsol]

Thanks man

[quickdodge®]

sorry,

I agree. Terrible looking. Props for the work in it, but it sure doesn't look right. Later, QD.

[CRXdelsol]

Thanx for the comment hopefully when I be done with the paintjob yal will like it!
It looks crappy right now bc of the primer spots and bondo! Just waiting on my friend to install his paint booth to paint it!

[Genji-Sama]

Please tell me ur removing the tail light tint. All this work and a cheap mod like that will destroy the image .......BTW, idk if this has been addressed, but wat color is it gonna be?

[CRXdelsol]

Yes I have some stock taillights but they are fresh and have them in a box those are are while the body work is done! And the color is going to be ( dolphin metalic gray)
This is the color!! Oh and I don't know whose hatch is that lol (google)

I know it may look better on that level (paint job wise). I was actually referring to the black one posted above. To me, it just looks not right (to try and be more respectful about it). It doesn't work. But again, if you're doing this yourself, I wouldn't take that away from you. Later, QD.

Me personally i'm in love w/ that black one posted, but i can't wait to see this color on it too :goodjob:

[CRXdelsol]

Yeah it being kinda hard sense I am doing it all bymyself without any help but I'm happy everything lined up correctly! Fenders look like factory lol

[CRXdelsol]

So I happen to be a hater when i think it looks ugly, but when QD dislikes it, you avoid it? lmao PUSSAY.

Oh and again, no where near jealous of it. LOL!

I'm thinking it's all in the delivery, my man. I've brought myself to be more respectful in my negative style comments so as not to birth unnecessary problems.

I do agree with the "jealousy" part of the hater word. Let's cool the jets, folks, and have a decent thread. Later, QD.
