My Baby EG5 Civic

My jumper harness which I got from Mr. Toda Aus last yr doesn't fit my '98 JDM ECU. =/

Looks it's for an obd2b ecu, yea?

In the process of stripping the engine bcuz cuz, it's a definite YES to engine bay respray, estimate it'll cost around 500 dolla to be done professionally. I haz made up my mind. I want this car be looking brand-spankingly meticulously as close to new, clean as fk, as expressed in this meme.



Motivated to say yes when I saw this pic:



Before respraying the bay, I'll ask my repair shop to fully fix up the front radiator support, out of shape and needs a few spot welds.





L(o.o)k at dat rust. Covered in dirt, rusty rust and sh!t. Worried about that bolts holding it wouldn't come off easily.



It took a few minutes of archaeology-ing with my flat-head screwdriver to to remove the crap to uncover the three bolts.

=/ As suspected, the bolt's head have gone with the flow of corrioding. They all have lost their shape, how to heck am I gonna remove it? They were 12mm bolts. Tried 12mm, nup. Then 11mm, it slips. 10mm, too small.

Any suggestions Ozhondies?



Here's what it's meant to look like in a nice condition.

So jelly.

Out of date ground wires. Better upgrade it then.



Freakin' fking fossilised fugly fuel filter (ffffff hehe).



One side of the fuel filter bracket was broken, so I couldn't apply decent force to remove the fuel line (one coming from tank). Bloody bent the filter 90 degrees!





Have got tube cutters, but decided to bend the line even more till complete metal fatigue. (Problem solving of a lazy eng. student. =).) I'll fix up the line with fitting later.

L(o.o)k at where the rear mounts mounted to. The untouched surface hidden underneath the bolts' head is so nice.



So, I am gonna aim to finish stripping the bay in 2 days time. 2 dayz? Because I am a noOb.
The front end is completed stripped. Lights, radiator, condenser, lines, horn, ground wires, power steering reservoir, receiver/dryer, washer fluid tank, bonnet latch and so on, are off. Also undone some stuff here and there.
I need to remove the rusted as fk metal battery tray to remove AC lines, PS hose, and wiring.
Couldn't undo one of the lines from the BMC with a regular open end wrench. Looks like I'll need to invest in flare nut wrenches.

Yo.
