I don't see a problem with that. Maybe they saw the "GlassHeadlights" and got suspicious. :ph34r:
 
They probably saw my name and got suspicious - I've bootlegged a few Havana's. WTF? :D

Oh yeah, the radiator looks like it didn't get the crap slammed out of it on the way to lower Canuckada. That's a good thing.

Yea I was wondering how that was going to go over with customs. And shipping random parts and hoses? Have fun being on the terrorist watch list. :p
Even if they get curious and bust it open - they ain't gonna find shit but a mix of new and used Honda parts - just a few more than on the Customs paperwork. And a few stainless steel clamps - $2 a piece stuff. There's maybe $200 worth of parts in there. Just enough to be worth shipping. I don't think they'll confiscate it - hope not.

Who knows??? Maybe they want to punish me for the cigars! ;)

Terrorist watch list - damn just noticed that in your post! Yikes! That's probably it - Homeland Security could be planning the raid right now to confiscate my stogies and slap a mean-assed fine on me!

I'm still giggling about the concept of "Roughedupanus" - that just ROCKS!

Yeah, still waiting over here. It'll probably be mid next week when it comes - if it does.

Here's the construction of the new shop up to date.

^ Both boxes had the same pre-printed labels on them in triplicate and clear tape over them. Probably the radiator went straight through and the other box got routed for inspection by US customs - that would explain the delay. They outta let it go through. They are on their own schedule.
 
You will love having a concrete floor to work on! are you going to heat the shop in any way?
 
A concrete floor will be just awesome. Every motor swap we've done has been in dirt. :mad: And yeah we will have a wood stove...along with a bathroom and a small loft for a big screen, stereo and a PlayStation. ;)
 
Our parts cars are being hauled away soon so I have the Integra stripped of everything I want. During the strip down I noticed the master cylinder is a 1" not a 15/16". I thought that was a Type R option. :dunno: I also noticed there are different thread sizes than a normal Civic M/C. I grabbed the correct fittings but I need a flare kit now lol.

I went auto wrecking today and dropped $200 on some good parts for the civic. I still have to go back and pull the "larger" items... :ph34r:
 
duckbill for the hatch you dont have
Its a wall ornament for now. ;)
Don't do it... Just don't. If you're flipping it, I get It. If not... :facepalm:
I'm not getting anything, dont ya worry.
C'mon man! He dumped the shitty exhaust and GADAR Yellow wheels......
Hell yeah! I'm slowly learning.

Lately I've been working on and in the shop. We have a concrete floor, walls, roof and the doors in. My dad did a motor swap the first day we could.

Anyway I keep delaying the results of my auto wrecking experience. For $250 I got a good Stanley headlight (one was rock chipped), the carbon duckbill (in mint condition), Blox adjustable upper control arms (good condition with great ball joints), an EG short ram intake that will fit the GSR motor, a clean set of mud flaps and a full black interior...well not full, I left some out. The new gauge cluster I got with the interior has a working spedo, finally :). Then I got the GSR arm rest to fit in there pretty nicely. I just need to swap the steering wheel and it's finished.
