Throughout the week we have gotten quite a bit done on the wagon bay.  The engine is pulled and front end is tore down.  The bay was already previously shaved so in this case everything had to be taken down to bare metal.  We decided to take a different approach with this car.  Going to make all new engine mount brackets.  In fact we got rid of all the extra panels that these EF bays have. 

In order to make the new mounts we had to make some temporary target points for the mounts.  Otherwise we would have to have the engine/trans in the bay and that would make things much more difficult to work around.  Also considering the order we are doing this they were necessary.   Heres some pics of the progress.  Next week well will start the plates. 

  Over the last few days things have been busy.  Finishing up the rhd dc2 and prepping for the roll bar and some last minute details with the blue EM1. 

  Also have 2 new arrivals and both are EF wagons.  The blue wagon(pictured) is getting teardown, full box and shave and some more tuck work and new parts to clean it up.  The brown awd wagon(not pictured) is going to be a big one.  Rhd conversion, k series, full shave and tuck and much much more. 

Got the rhd dc2 all sealed up and prepped for the roll bar. 

This bay is already pretty clean but we are going to make it cleaner.

A few more of Ricco's EM1 bay before it goes.

Today both Joey's and Ricco's EM1's are 99% complete.  Just a few ins and outs and the purple EM1 will be ready to tune.  The red one is basically done as well.  Heres some pics of today's progress.

  This week has been nuts to say the least.  Had to finish Austins Integra by today for the Super Street shoot, our family car had a ton of issues and did some more work on Joey's Si. 

  The Integra has been fun,  Had to install his J37 manifold and heavily modify his engine harness,  make the throttle body adapter to use the J32 throttle body (these manifolds use drive by wire throttle), and add 1/2 mount spacers for the driver trans and passenger mounts to get the hood to shut.  Best of all the car still has decent ground clearance considering.  Overall Im pretty happy with how the project turned out and I think the late nights have been worth it.

  As far as Joeys car his up pipes are completely done and All I have left is a few welds on his piping and he will be done. 

  Hopefully in the next day or so I can get all the issues worked out with the family car and things will go back to normal.  Heres a few pics of the progress.

Oh neat, a J swap with a closed hood with good ground clearance. o_0  The hood was not wrapped yet at this point.
