I got tired of making brackets to secure everything, so i ordered a del sol front bulkhead. hopefully it will be in soon... so i can get my car back on the road. im also in the process of making hood brackets unless anyone has an extra set of sol hinges lying around for me to cut apart.

i got the whole new bulkhead for 280. 3 day shipped. i think i got a pretty good deal, they are all honda oem parts. one of my co worker's brothers works for the dealership here in saint louis... isnt the radiator support and front bulkhead the same thing?

Do you think it would be a good idea to start selling off my projector headlights and hood bumper and all the aftermarket accessories i took off my car to do the conversion? i have most of the stock parts and im starting to run out of money for the swap.

I also got new hood hinges and cut them apart, you have to use the bottom from the eg and the arms from the del sol.

im just glad i decided to not cheap out on it... before i had brackets holding everything together. it looked alright on the outside, but a train wreck inside.
