Seeing how dead this forum is of late, thought I would post up a neat solution I come up with whilst doing my ED3 Sedan build.

I was having limited success finding a set of radiator stay brackets which weren't clapped out, so decided to come up with an alternative solution by reusing the OEM stamped bracket and some aftermarket bits.

Before and After...

Back in 2012, was on the search for the next project. Looking specifically for a clean sedan, had viewed a couple but nothing really getting my attention.

Sadly, there were more going through as salvage at Manheim than actually for sale... dire times when you can't find 90's Honda's for sale.

Looked at a white one the week before, whilst clean had a few things wrong with it so I decided to pass. Glad I did, as this popped up. First photos that Steve sent me, he was still working there at the time so could do some recon

Yes.I did read that before but just lazy to post..steve found you the car,that's the Honda community spirit!

I think threads like this one where you can highlight your favorite mods are how to do it,perfect.And chuck a few in of the car.

Ah,dosen't matter,I will subscribe to it either way :)
