No I havent but I will have to take a look!
Today I had to swap a K motor in an Accord I bought so it was a hectic day! BUUUUUUUUUUT The s2000 is now motor/trannyless
Everything is out of the bay and I got some VERY rough cut (no measuring, no taping, just eyeballing and cutting!) cardboard forms to start really working on the templates for the sheet metal I am going to have cut and welded in! I am really excited about how this thing is progressing thus far!

I'd suggest since you are going to all this trouble, you remove the crossmember and run a bar across there. REALLY cleans up the bay, and gives you ALOT more room to work.
Looks great so far.
Looks great so far.

Okay, spent a TON of time on this one, removed my seats, steering column, gauge cluster, air bag, and dash JUST to tuck my heater control valve and lines lol what a pain! but its an all in the spirit of customization
To date this is easily the most time consuming/labro intensive part..
On to the pics!
Apparently I was drunk when I took this picture of my interior lol
Where my interior now resides! (I need to spend a day recleaning my garage, all the tools and parts ive used/dont need anymore liing around are driving me insane!)
Heater core modified, anyone who has ever seen one knows the wo hoses consist of 2 90 degree bends a peice, basically I just cut off one of the 90s for each line and loosened the crimp on the bottom to turn them both upward to go into the cowl rather than the engine bay
where the heater control valve will be located, all holes were drilled out to allow these new locations and stock grommets were used for a clean look!
Close up of how things come out now!
Thanks to everyone who has been checking things out and posting positive comments, this thread will be continuing until I am finished so keep checking back in!
