The Bulldog is ALIVE! I got the EV strapped in, and just fired it up to make sure it runs, and she's good.

I have yet to button everything down and add a cooling system, but the motor runs! Great news, the Bulldog will be alive by the end of the weekend!

Which means I will start driving her, and I have some goodies for the Si coming too....

Anyways, I was in the engine bay pulling the motor under to put it in, and my friend to advantage of me being trapped inside to take a picture....



What can I say, the Bulldog has attitude!


Oh, and I took this pic, for some reason I really like it, it sums up what I do, got a couple of civic Hatches, a nice one and a beater, and I do all, ALL the work myself



Cheers,

Cool! you get a great sense of pride doing it yourself don't you. I know cause your pics look like my yard last week with the reserection of my GL sedan that was D.O.A. for three years, but now it lives!, see yah on the streets dood, cool that the bulldog lives on for the next chapter, and Hey if you are ever in Canada, B.C. on the Island be sure to check the wreckers, it is a gold mine here! Rock on!!!

Ok so you are on the mainland, but that area gets picked with all the honda guys there! Yep I should have looked to see where you were before I posted the last entry, but anyway yah the area of Sooke, (30 k from Victoria has great wrecker parts, I was in a few hatches yesterday. RCU on Sooke river road is good and so is Sooke Auto wreckers...a friend o mine owns that one! he he I got a carb and battery for $20 , both were great shape just to you give an idea.

any way nice work now go get some more pics of the bull dog slideing around!

and I have to say the si looks so sick in that picture... maybe its the angle of the road making it look so low but it is bad ass.

holy crap do you do your engine swaps the hard way by jacking up the front and dropping the engine out and under , thats how we did my sedan engine swap and i can safely say i wont be doing that again, we ended up with the front of the car being held up with jacks on cinder blocks on cinder blocks on cinder blocks etc, you get the idea and we still had to lift the front of the car with brute strength to get the engine out , now we have a much better method involving a block and tackle.
