I wanted to do that too but a lot of people suggest not bondoing bc it's weaker and to use metal panels, I don't want to weld panels so I'm probably going to get the jdm moldings since they're a lot thinner, hopefully it comes out right haha

- Wed Mar 14, 2012 11:14 am #298191 Yeah, I bondo'd my 2 Hood holes where the emblem pops into place. A year or so later they were really visible, and could be just picked out with my fingernail.. my cousin did his teg molding holes with fiberglass Bondo and its held up well even through winters, although he's welding his trunk ones to he safe

- Sun Apr 22, 2012 5:40 pm #302577 Just an update, the engines been out. Im almost done cleaning the engine bay. Im getting some stage 1 performance axles from Ontario from a local trustworthy guy. Same guy I bought my ls, mounts, gsr flywheel, and DC sports header from. $250 shipped and taxes in brand new :D I'm cleaning the ls engine today, plan on mounting it to my engine stand first. I chased the threads as one of the holes were stripped I just finished helping my mom replace her timing belt and tensioner.. lol. .Ill post pics tonight of my progress, I'm on my phone at the moment.

- Wed Jun 20, 2012 3:02 am #308794 So i never did post pics haha. Just finished my last exam of the year today, I start work tomorrow! Finally some money coming in for this thing.

I've looped the power steering, cleaned the engine bay, and installed the new ls swap. Found my clutch line to be leaking so I'm waiting on a new section of line form honda. Also waiting on small odds and ends like the coupler attaching my intake to the ls intake manifold, stuff like that.

Heres a few pics of my progress.. my cell is sent away right now which is what i take my pictures with so bare with me

dirty!!!

after taking my fender off, i found a metal patch on the backside of the side molding hole. So somebody welded strips of metal like 1/8 or 1/4 inch thick onto the backside of the holes and I presume they were then able to bondo the rest of each hole. Good to see its not just bondo slapped on until the hole stayed covered

- Sun Aug 19, 2012 1:22 pm #313783 I haven't updated you guys :? I got the trans back and threw it in, and everything worked great! Installed the exhaust with my cousin and he welded the cat on for me :thumb:

I had a problem with overheating at first, I was leaking coolant from my heater core outlet on the firewall. A new clamp fixed that, then I realized it had been leaking all in my interior.. So i pulled out the front interior and dried everything.. then I found the wire to plug my rad fan in lol so that fixed the slight overheating in traffic. Now my injectors are leaking badly, going to get some new o rings for them this week. Also my alternator belt came completely loose, I must have forgot to tighten a bolt or two. I guess these are just things that come with doing your first swap :? :P

A local annual car show my cousin and I enrolled in :D Oh and I also installed my front lip as you can see in the pic!
