You are definitely crazy? :P What is wrong with LHD? That seems like one hell of a project. And yeah, you are doing it outside. Do you actually think you are gonna get it done by Jan. 2? I can't believe you can tear apart a perfectly good car like that. And just so you can drive from the other side. You got *****! Good luck man! Much respect.

I've never seen anyone tear the lower windshield "support" out with it. I thought you were supposed to seperate the firewall from the windshield "support" and then weld the new firewall in. I guess the windsshield has some adjustement when it comes to installing it, I've just never seen it done that way.


Outside?? jigga you crazy.

i finished welding the wall in yesterday, seam sealed and everything. i also put most of the car back together last night.
ill be done way before the 2nd. im on winter break from school and i have no job... so i put in a good 12 hrs a day on it.
as for the welding, i had a friend who is a professional sheet metal worker help me fit and weld it. we took alot of measurements and everything fell back into place perfectly. also, i got the rhd drive clip for free... thats what inspired me to do it. a friend of mine who doesnt know ---- about cars bought the clip for the motor. i did the swap for him and i got the rhd clip as payment. i sold all the unused parts from my car and the rhd clip, and so far im ahead 60 bucks!

im not really jdm crazy or anything, also i like some of the "jdm" goodies... i just did it so i could turn heads and gain some knoledge while doing it.
