My RHD EG6 Project PICs
So I wanted a RHD civic for a while now but like most of people on HMT i am a ***** ON A BUDGET 
So about a year or so ago I desided to do a RHD conversion, but then i bought a WRX and my planes got put on hold. And about couple of months ago I found a 94 hatchback for $100 which was a perfect candidate for my conversion, then i picked up an EG6 RHD front clip for $150 (no engine no tranny), and started working on it when i had time, and time is something that I don't have much since i am married and have a kid. So this is where i am at right now.
I know i am probably going to get flamed by some of the members, but I don't care. If you are going to hate just keep your comments to yourself. Some people will say what a waste of time, and what is the point... it didn't take all that long... about 4 full days of work for me to get to this point and this is just the kind of thing i am into, just like most of people on here are into turboing their cars and ----...
And for thouse of you that will say that i have weakened the structural points of the car and that i'll get fucked in case of an accident, I'll say that I know what i am doing. I got about 3 years of body work at the body shop under my belt i know what I am doing. And for all the people that want to do the conversion, i'd say that if you do not have much of the experience in this field don't do it, because it is ALOT of work and you have to be pretty precise in fitting all of the things together.
So here you go:
pulled the firewall out of the hatch:
what is left of the JDM front clip
test fitting
new paint baby
JDM *****
money shut
now i got to start putting all of this ---- in
