And the other side.

Tomorrow I plan to fit the inner sills however I am not optimistic about welding them in. Plus work has me away later this week for two weeks so its a shame but it will have to wait.

I'm no expert in the slightest but its not looking too bad for someone who has never done this before

Good work

Thanks Kam!

Im on a plane soon and away for the next ten days. In a rush I fitted the inner sill to the left side and its good. When Im back I have a week at home until a week on vacation so I plan of having all sills, floor pans and flitch panels done. By that time it will be warm enough here I can attack my integra and pull it apart and clean up the rear subframe.

Fellas,
Im replacing both rear subframe mounting plates! Any idea what the bes way to get these on straight so I dont have a surprise once I try to mount the rear subframe.
Obviously Ive made my measurement from one mount to the other but how can I get it dead on.

Tack them in with the subby fitted, no nasty supprises then

MINI LUKE thanks for that idea.

Here I need some help again. I have this one mount on the bulk head that is rotted behind. When Fitting the mini tec subframe do I need this mount or can I just get rid of it and slap new metal there.

THanks

As far as i am aware with the minitec subframe, the lower mounts are underneath the car and require 3 holes each. That mounting place isn't used but even if it was and yours is rotten.....well seems like the best option would be to ensure its strong enough. New metal would be my plan of attack

KB Thanks,

I just had a look at the MINITEC pdf file for the MTB frame and your right. Of course I will replace the metal for sure but I was wondering if I had to order more bolts and stuff to replace the rot of the mount which doesnt look like its the case!

Got the rear subframe apart tonight. Ill be getting it ready for a sand blast and paint next week.

The floor is complete along with the inner sills both sides. The floor panels are done and now Ive decided to do some work on the bulk head. So still more welding to be done.

So much rust

RIP angle grinder.  20$ made it far enough!

Floors are in and now a little work remains on the bulk head before we put in the flitch panels at the wheels wells.

Kam thanks for that.

 

ALL!  I am taking out my B16 out of the integra tomorrow and then I sell the car to scrap.  Ill make sure to get the wiring loom and save the heater, AC and a couple other small things.  Any ideas as to what else I can use from the car in the mini.  Also, from the front end is there anything else I can use there.  I will be using the MTB2 frame.

It entirely depends on how you plan on doing the rest of the build. Fueling? Coolant? I'm not sure about integra's but keep the gearlinkage, engine mounts, any pipes/hoses and radiator plus maybe gauges depending on what you want to use and maybe fuel pump. If you've got the room and are scraping the car you might aswell keep as much as possible but the above will help with the conversion

 

Hope this helps
