That is some serious dedication, with the paint/body work. I agree with you about just stopping the spread of the rust in the areas you don't see for now and worrying about proper paint later. I could see myself losing passion for such a massive paint project when that kind of work is so time consuming and the rest of the body is pretty much an empty shell, but first having a car that's actually drivable can do a lot for motivation when you decide to come back to it. It's for that reason that I'm doing my build in smallish, focused chunks to try to minimize the car's down time.
Also, your engine mount issue: for the trans mount, an auto-to-manual conversion mount from Innovative will work, or you if you want a normal manual mount to work you'll have to drill out the spot welds on that auto bracket and weld a manual bracket in its place. For the rear mount, that big one that was in your coupe is just the active mount that came on I think all automatics and EX manuals to soften vibrations at idle, and it pairs with a taller "T-bracket" that bolts to the engine block. The subframe is the same in all CBs, so your Innovative rear mount will bolt right onto it. You just need the shorter manual LX/DX T-bracket, which you probably still have from your old car.
Oh man thanks for the info. I was looking into the Hasport h22 mount kit for cb7 chassis. It comes with a weld on trans mount bracket, the only one I’m not sure about is if the driver mount will work on the f22 post mount
they sell the auto to Manual mount. this way it bolts to the transmission and you do not have to cut off the chassis mount bracket. all the other mounts from the sedan will bolt into the coupe.
@@JaayPeeBuilt well you will have to buy a manual bracket to weld on to the body. I believe they still sell them new. Or get one from a junk yard. If the one in your white sedan is no good.
As a CB7 owner you give me hope in my builds. And you said Arizona? I will be flying out to Phoenix for opportunities and to build my very own CB7. I have one right now, but sadly im letting her go for my ticket. Love your builds jayypee. CHEEEEE
I love your videos man! It’s been a lot of inspiration for me and a lot of useful information. I picked up a 92 cb7 4WS a couple months back, I’ve been collecting a parts for a few years now and I’m almost ready to start building it up! Thankyou for doing what you do!
Good to see the progress is coming along man. I wish I prepped and painted my engine bay before dropping the engine in but I was short of time. Cool you’re gonna show the conversion to manual rack and pinion. I wanna do that in the future too. How did you like the itb’s? I heard they were kinda tricky to tune.
If you haven't done it yet can you make a in depth video on how your swapping too the manual tran mount etc I have an auto cb7 and I'm interested in swapping it! Keep grinding good vids
The level of dedication is unreal bro. As a CB7 enthusiast I don't think I could've done it all over again after the sedan. Mad props to you.
Love how these always start out. Your shots are always on point
Thanks dawg I’m glad someone enjoys them

Way to put in the work man! Keeping my love for cb’s alive.
Thanks man that’s all I can do

Yeah I was seeing that but I kinda want to switch over to hasport… I love the billet aluminum mounts😅

@@AJIMPORTS the hasport h22 cb7 mount kit comes with a weld on trans bracket so I might run that

Yup I'm here in the Phoenix area, and that's dope to hear I wanna see more CB7's getting some love.
Removing the auto transmission mount was actually easier than I thought
Yeah it’s not that hard to remove spot welds👍🏽

That’s sick I love to hear that! That gives me more inspiration

Thanks man. I should be getting into the rack in like 2 weeks
Have you ever thought about doing the electric power steering?
I’ve looked into the Volvo electric power steering pump… but I think that will be on the e36
Didn't even know that was an option; thanks for asking.
If you haven't done it yet can you make a in depth video on how your swapping too the manual tran mount etc I have an auto cb7 and I'm interested in swapping it! Keep grinding good vids
I’ll for sure explain all the trans mount options cuz there are a couple different options when you have an auto chassis.
@@JaayPeeBuilt thank you sm!!
Dude that auto trans is heavy af
Yeah it caught me off guard😅😂😂 glad I kept the chain on it
