That rear end is a wild set up! I like it! The struggle was real putting it back in. I was hoping you were gonna weld up that pully and turn it down to spec....just a thought.....nice work jason!... .by the way nice haircut!!😊
Thanks Craig! Yeh was think of trying to fix it, I think we will get a new one. It's a common problem on these cars! LOL I cut it myself thats 4 weeks growth! Cheers!!
Jason - really starting to look good as it comes together. This may be a bit late for your rear end installation but may help in the future on similar parts. One thing I have noticed working on my MGB's is that MG uses tapered point bolts wherever there is a tight fit connection with a captive nut. These bolts self -align into the nut and do help with installation. Not saying that it will make every bolt easy to install, but it does help with the vast majority of those captive nut installations. You could get slightly longer bolts, grind the taper, and then use a die to make sure the thread has a clean start. Also, here is a wild thought to painting the convertible top. What do you think of painting a Rising Sun flag on the roof, similar to how Mini owners paint a Union Jack on the roof of their cars?
Thanks Ron! I was thinking that, they should of tapered the bolts there would make a difference! You must be reading my mind on the Rising sun on the roof, I am planing to do that, just subtle. If it looks good will be staying. Cheers!!
Very nice Jarno, I’m going to go ahead and give you the best build with lots of luv trophy.
Thanks Steven! Thats pretty cool, Cheers Mate!!
Hi Steve.
I’ve seen Jason do work like this before.
Attention to detail.
In short He’s like a dog to a bone mate.
The Engineers who designed this were outside the box, and ahead of their time
Yes sir! 😉✌
Thanks Joe! Yes it definitely got some interesting parts to it. Cheers!!
Another step closer to the final assembly.
As GMC Joe stated Hondas are engineering marvels.
Great job on this car, it's looking really good.
Thanks Moe! They sure are, I complain a bit here there but it seems to help get stuff done, LOL. Cheers!!
Great looking engine.
Thanks Robert! It is a nice looking engine & for such a small think has got a fair amount of power. Cheers!!
