We’re making good progress on tearing down the Eclipse and getting it ready for paint! One of the things I did was build some mini wheel-wells for the back to help prevent dirt & water from getting all over everything. This obviously won’t be perfect, as it’s still very open, but it covers the entire top of the tire and does a good job at keeping the car very easy to work on.

The video on investigating the engine knock will be live later tonight!

get some black POR15 on there that shit will last forever!

Greg Rhyne

Oof, that looks time consuming. Definitely needed though.

You could make more of a wall between the engine bay and wheel, with some brackets for a simple bit on/off application to work on the car. Looks like tons of debris will still get on the motor.

Ryan Hall

That could work (welded panels) and use spray on rhino liner to make it look good.

Ryan Preskar

Man you and boosted John are havin some bad luck with newly built engines 😔😔

Brennan Guernsey

So is the plan to not seal off the wheels from the engine bay? That seems not ideal.

Gingium

Correct. I figured it’s an engine bay and it’s going to get dirty no matter what I do. I’d much rather make it possible to service the front of the motor without having to pull it out of the car than to seal off the wheels.

Andre Machado

😯 can’t wait to see it painted

Agreed something of a quick release would be ideal to have both the easy access he wants for working on stuff. But help keep debris out during road operations.

Brennan Guernsey

Ah I didn't think about access to the front of the engine. But is it really a mid engine car if you don't have to remove the engine for a timing belt job? Lol

Gingium

That would be ideal. But let me tell you that would NOT be easy to build with all the compound curves/etc. Unfortunately with the timeframe we’re on we have to make some compromises

Sonofnothing

Fair enough. This build is so epic, I'm not complaining. You're unbelievably talented.

Can someone send me the discord link? Never got the email for it

Every time I try to join, it just cycles through the authorize page. It doesn’t let me join.

Will you be doing like an under tray for the engine bay?
