Oh hey look its my 43252345th thread of what I did to my car :facepalm: Anyway I've decided to slowly shave the unused holes and crap in the engine bay. I've done the wire tuck last year or so, heres the other thread: http://www.3geez.com/forum/showthread.php?t=70744

So the plan is to fill any unused holes in the bay, tuck any tuck-able craps and repaint. I'm thinking of doing it in a different color from the body for the mad tyte USDM factor or I could leave it in stock color. I suck at deciding soo...

Anyway. A thread from me without PICS is like driving a Honda without rice.

Here are some PICS!

Fiberglass over some holes on the firewall since I can't weld :(

Tucking my coil in the cowl area (Y) I'll make sure the coil won't be soaked in the water when it rains haha

Last layer of bondo (hopefully) and that is all for today

I wanted to move my battery to the trunk but too bad I'm short on cash right now :( And oh tucking my prop valve as well. Wait nooo I can't I don't have the tools -.- I might ask around if theres anybody that could do it for me instead.

Looking good as always. Any ideas on what color youd want to go with? I think its gonna be tough to pull off a different color other than what the rest of the car is painted.

Purple!

Actually, I think you should leave it man. I still think a different color engine bay looks like you repainted your car and left the engine bay the old color...

What would be so US Market about a miss-matched engine bay? (USdomesticMarket for a car domestic to Japan?)

Moving the Brake prop. valve & plumbing would certainly be a pain...Certainly would look cleaner but aren't the pipes madly shaped for a reason?

Oh yes! I've been looking for those pics forever haha! So the battery tray is pretty much being held up by that one bolt on the bulkhead (or whatever that is called) and resting on the crossmember?

I'm stealing your idea for the battery relocation :D As for mismatching color, I don't know, I guess I just want to have something different from everyone else here.

Anyway updates for today!

And no, they are not just bondoed over. They're fiberglassed over and then few very thin layer of bondo over them to smooten them up.

Quick progress as usual!
You have some different washer jets/nozzles to use?

You'd remember where to find those pictures:
http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2051977/1979-honda-accord/page-3

Yes the new Battery mounting just bolts into an existing bolt-hole.
http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/2/3208/4541/20519770099_medium.jpg

Though it also has a flange on the underside with a notch to locate around the cross-member weldflange. So no movement up, down or otherwise (also has hole for battery retaining rod). & cut/grind off the original factory rust-trap.
Father also bent some 3mm plastic for me, for the washer reservoir to slide on to, with feet trapped under the battery.
Hope your different '81 radiator mountings won't get in the way.

Sorry I don't have a template/pattern for the heat shield which might be a little harder to make up with the engine in place. Mine only covers that side of the firewall so I didn't have to cut/shape it around the middle firewall reinforcement, brake servo, clutch etc.
Bolts up where the std. heat shield did with longer bolts & spacers behind.

Haha I saw that car before (Y) But hey it would be awesome if you could get more pics of the battery tray! I tried putting mine down there but I have some super fat battery compared to yours :( I'm thinking of getting some plastic tray from newer cars and mount it on the stock location but closer to the fender instead of the stock setup. I don't know yet.

Anyway todays update!

Bye stupid battery tray!

Almost there. Before I started to get lazy/tired. I don't wanna rush anything so I've decided to stop. I still gotta clean up the frame rail and take the harness out.

This is really going to clean thing's up! Instead of your eye being drawn away by all these dark holes you can focus on that killer power plant you've got haha.

I am very jealous, I'd like to be doing this at some point too. Also, keep it the same colour man, it will be super clean.

You can relocate that AC Compressor. You should look for the bracketry and shit off of an 82-83 Accord. Since they had the same engine, but the AC was down in front of the engine I'm pretty sure. It's been a while since I've looked at one though.

All mine, '77,79,81 fitted with Air-Con all mounted the Alternator up there instead, putting the bigger/heavier Air-Con Compressor down below / in front.

Even a bolt-in battery tray would seem a good idea once you see a rusty battery tray you cannot easily clean & repaint beneath.

Hazwan
03-26-2011, 02:40 AM
I'll leave the compressor as it is for now, at least till I have the money to get them done and recharged. Did I mention that I only spent $10 on the whole thing so far?

Something else I'm fucked with is with my bunch of relays that I added back then in my previous thread last year >< FML

It's easier to work on. Most folks don't care what's under the hood and the mechanics squawk if they have to remove a fender to get to the distributor. Most carmakers now hide it all under big plastic covers. Maybe we could do that. Hmmmm.... :idea:

Pulling the engine is easy. Pop the axles, disconnect the shift linkage, drain the coolant, disconnect the fuel line and exhaust manifold and pull it all out as one unit. I guess you'd have to take off your AC compressor too. Only takes an hour or two! Do it!!

Jack up the car and drop the subframe... that seems like a shitload more work though. Aren't those engine hoists that hang from the ceiling pretty cheap? It's like just a pulley system? Can't rent one from the auto parts store?

03-28-2011, 12:15 PM
i'd unbolt the subframe and jack the car up anyway. i don't like hoisting the engine out the top, if you have a hoist or can rent one use it to lift the car over the engine.

the only problem i see is if the fan is bolt through your radiator after a while when the fan is on and vibrating its going to make the holes bigger and you might have to get a new radiator

youd be suprised its pretty easy. i was pulling honda motors from the top for about ten years until i discovered how much easier and faster dropping motors from the bottom is (using a car lift though, prob be a pain in the ass with a floor jack and jack stands). shaved about 30-40 minutes off of my removal time and would have a complete intact car to having the drivetrain removed on a rolling dolly in about an hour. way easier especially on all the newer hondas with full front subframes (civic, rsx, accords, etc.)

Lots of relays!
Would you run the wires to the front of the car through that structural tube on the body?
Pre'79 Accord used it for cold-air induction to the carburetor.

I kind of did mine the opposite of yours, I pulled the firewall/cowl & left-side harness back into the cabin from the fusebox and ran my left-side harness through the lower left chassis rail from a small hole I drilled in the firewall to the front of the car, with some exiting through a factory hole by the alternator.
Though there were complications getting it past some internal reinforcements under/behind the bumper mountings... & I didn't do the equivalent (thicker) right side wiring.

No pics tho :p

All that left is to finalize some wiring under the dash, bleed the clutch and tighten the nuts for the booster, which is something I don't look forward to -.-

And I've got the booster bolted down (Y). 98% completion until.............

I found this:
http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/215711_10150158867467106_724677105_6852183_5681461 _n.jpg

Those are main battery cables going to the ignition switch and from the engine harness. Yup they overheated a lot before and now I know why. Sooooo I took the dash off just to redo the dash harness. FFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU more delaysssssssssssssss :'(

But yeah:
http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/208772_10150158874802106_724677105_6852270_7947921 _n.jpg

Hi Guys, nice thread and very inspiring. I wonder what is the color......:rolleyes:
Btw, I'm new here just got my 1g Accord for 2 months.
I will clean my engine bay as well, but not as radical as Haz just did..Okay, I have a question: How to remove speedometer cluster from dash? I want to change light bulbs but i notice there's no screw at all...
thanks in advance

The black trim!!!

It actually looks pretty good. You could paint the bumpers too...see how it looks. Not necessarily an easily reversible procedure though.

If you want an easily reversible way of trying out the black bumper, get some flat black vinyl tape and wrap it in that. That black trim is pretty cool, I wonder what it would look like with all the chrome trim blacked out.

lostscotiaguy

I'm planning on blacking out everything and I might color match the bumpers. I don't know how that would look like though. Been playing with some ideas so we'll see.


No!! :banghead:

It should definately look better without the yellow ignition wires and the orange valve cover. What color are you going to paint the valve cover? Oh, dont like the orange filter; though that could be hard to find another color
