I pulled the unhealthy d15b7 and am swapping in a nice and clean d16z6 and 96-00 Civic HX Vtec-E Transmission for Awesome Fuel Economy.

Since they Engine was plucked and the car is going to be Painted. I figured it was time to mask the Engine bay and Start giving a fresh new color.

The Engine bay will be Duplicolor Hugger Orange. Part of the bay has a first coat.

When I get off work tomorrow I will be finishing up the engine bay.

I think it will be as well. Those 3-4 Hours I spent masking shit off better not got to waste. I'm Hoping for a Ride of the Month Quality Sedan that will still get epic fuel economy, And wont get to much attention from the fuzz.

I also love Orange. Bright Hugger Orange with Electron Blue Pearl should be a nice combo. I was thinking of doing gold, But then thought of Orange, Found Hugger Orange for cheap($23.99) and After playing with orange bays and Bright Blue in photoshop I was sold.

My EG obviously wont have a Turbo B Series Vtec, However it should look similar to that when done.

No Tuck. Not a fan of them, Sure the bays look cool but I like keeping my harness nice and simple. Cuting and splicing the wires is only asking for trouble later on.

Pictures came out more Red then what it actually is. Paint is drying as I type this. Will be going back and shooting some clear when it drys. When the clear drys The unmasking comes and then the removing paint off anything I dont want painted. I.E. Lines and such.

Not long after the z6 will be dropped into the Bay.

My Ventilation wasn't good enough and orange dust is everywhere, It just wipes off.

I knew better but Western Washington has had record rain falls and I didn't want both doors open. I wont make the same mistake when it comes to painting the body.

I Did, However it was all masked off. I started unmasking the harness today after I got off work. I will finish it tomorrow when I drop The z6/HX Tranny into the bay.

I'm not going to be b16infinity and just paint all over my harness's.
