Big ups on the conv. cause I'd have the firewall out and be like ahh ---- this ---- is too much for me and have the junkyard coming to pick up one fucked up car and front clip. I always wanted to conv my SE-R with my GTIR front clip that I had but I ain't no body work skillz.

solid work, i like it.

Nice work man. I to always thought it was a whole front clip swap, not just a firewall. This is looking alot easier to do now. Not that I would, but have a body mechanic in the family makes it tempting.

Also, must have been fun drilling out all those spot welds!! I hate doing that job!!!

Also, did you just spot weld it again, or seam weld the whole thing. I want to seeam weld my end bay and suspension mounts for the added integrety of it.

^^^ yeah it felt like there would be no end to drilling out all of the spot welds, i think between 2 firewalls that i had to extract i drilled out close to 160 spot welds, welding everything back up took forever too. And yeah i just spot welded it back in.

Ya I helped rebuild a 2002 Lincoln LS. Hit a gaurd rail lightly sideways. Rlaced the whole passenger side A Pillar to Cpillar. THAT WAS ALOT OF DRILLING!

Well Worht it though. We rebuild that car for about 19,000 CAN, back in 2003 when retail on a 2002 was still about 35,000.

so will that be street legal? I know must RHD JDM cars are not, you can have them for show and track use only.

I'd like to get a real EG6 for my next track car. Better balance with the motor/driver on opposite sides.

Just turn your motor around mang. That works right?

Very nice work though. I was expecting some ricer project with retarded questions and shitty work. It looks really good though.

well the way i see it , the cars itself isn't JDM so it retains most of the US DOT approved ----, for example i know that if you are importing a car from Japan you have to change the windshield (maybe even all of the glass), doors have to be replaced to, because JDM doors dont have the rebar inside of the door shell. Same ---- goes for the headlights and "imission" standerds. But this car is a US vehicle, that meets all DOT requaerements, and the only thing that is different is obviously the firewall, and a VIN on the firewall so i'll have to make a trip to the state patroll so that they could issue the new VIN #.

$10 says that when you're done, that everythings gonna be completely wrong...steering wheel, cluster, pedals...betcha it all ends up on the wrong side.
