On to some more of the work

Start out by flipping the section of the clip we retained over for spot weld cutting to remove the firewall:



Drill, drill some more, break for water, drill a bit more, then remove JDM frame rails from clip (save these for later, you want to install them as JDM frame rails are stronger )



Continue on the quest to kill alllll spot welds like so:



If you are determined enough, the end result will look like this, a complete firewall with absolutely no cutting, removed from the clip...



While all of that was under attack by me, sean was busy with this section:



Dont have the pics uploaded yet, should by tomorrow, but the engine is out, paint just came in so we'll be working on removing the stock firewall and get to work installing the new firewall, followed up by engine bay stitch welding and then some paint work.



8/4/10 - Update

Did some aero test fitting, had the car smile for pictures


















*Update* 8/8/10

So we got to move along with a little work today, sean got to work on the rear subframe, installing the PBM RUCAS and Toe Arms, and I worked on removing seam sealer and drilling for spot weld removal to continue the RHD conversion.

Sean working on subframe :



Sean you arent done yet ? This is taking as long as Eric installing a starter...



Ok Ok we're good now



While that was going on, it was time to play with power tools and fire...

Starting to drill for removing the firewall:



Removing the rest of the windshield sealant and leftover glass with a torch.



What do you want ? Cant you see im playing with fire ?





UPDATE 8/14/10

So earlier I got to head over, get some pictures of what we've done in the past few days, as well as work on removing the cowl section of the chunk leftover from the RHD clip. I would have continued on and started installing the new firewall, but unfortunately I didnt find weldable primer at homedepot when I went looking.

Onto the pics as usual !

Car as it sits with no firewall or cowl, awaiting the RHD stuffs







After getting those shots, I got to work on removing the cowl, this took its toll on quite a few drill bits, but after a grueling battle, of course, I won.

The target:





After removing the top half, still more to do:




After a lot of cutting, sparks, drilling spot welds, I finally free'd the lower half from the rest of the scrap
