Removing stuff in order to seam weld the cabin area. Pics after the jump, because it dosent look very interesting.
Removed all the panel’s scraped the glue off of the important areas, started spot welding then nearly caught the car on fire which.......led to what is pictured below.
The easy part was getting the dash off.
HVAC removed and not going back in.
What started this whole this was that the chassis is starting to crack, it’s like this on both sides just in front of the wheels. Also the spot welds on the A pillar are beginning to crack.
Might follow up with a post that has all the prep and spot welding.

I’ve been doing a little bit by bit with the overall direction being simplify and add lightness, but when I think about it there isn’t really any direction with the only theme being weight reduction.
But it’s gotten Integra seats, new bumper, finally a gas cap cover, electric fan, welded diff, cv’s, different steering rack, modified steering knuckles, and now the HVAC has been permanently removed(more lightness)
I’m hoping to widen the fenders over the summer, and make a decent exhaust that is capable of muffling.

that looks like it should turn into a fun driver. you should like that simplifying a whole lot, leaves a lot less things in there with you, that you pretty near never use....... its fun to have a loud car, for a while, but once things get obnoxious inside with you, you sort of start to look at quieter cars a bit different..........
