[5speed4life]

Thanks.

I know this is alot diffrent than a core support.

But this will be one RHD swap that will get done.


What happend with your buddys 96?

 

[ripperbone]

he still has it, he lost interest in it

Tearing out a major unibody component without using a proper chassic jig?

I hope it comes out well dude, but damn...get one measurement off and say hello to incorrect chassis geometry. I did some work for a family friend who ran a chassis shop (sprint cars, circle track, roundy-round) and the math done to get a chassis right is crucial.

Well as of right now i am in the middle of a tube chassis rig build up with a custom 1 off suspension setup.
I do not own a frame machine but i do own a chassis table ( table cost me 400 bucks in steel and 200 in self leveling cement) best investment ever.
I started out 10+ years ago working on cars and have made many mistakes along the way as has everybody on this site, if they claim they haven't then there either full of shit or still don't know what their doing.
take yout time and it will work out if you need help pm me

BTW the swap is DONE...

RIIIIGHT. I still got ALOT of work ahead of me. I got the RHD firewall off the clip, pulled the engine, and started on the interior, stripping that down to bare firewall.

Its under way.

I'd leave it like that and just set up some funked out mirrors to see the gauges.

looks like he's trying to sell it also

That post was from a while ago, check the dates. After this swap, i dont know if i want to do another one. I was just trying to get a 100% rust free shell.

 

[hcivic.com]

[swanny]

Good luck with the conversion, if you need any tips/advice/help shoot me a PM or IM me on AIM.

 

[5speed4life]

Anyway, i just got back in from workin on my car, and figured id throw up a post.

So, here are a bunch of pics of how my car is coming along.

Im almost done with the dissasembly of my car, just have to swap lower cross members, and then start the degradation of the structure of my vehicle, i mean, removal of the firewall.

 

[E-dogg]

Awesome! Keep the pics coming man, I am interested to see how this turns out. I am sure others here are as well, though they may not voice it.

 

[brc80]

I say its a stupid idea, but i give you a for trying.

Hope it turns out well for you.

 

[TWISTEDIMAGE]

Lol... Sad But True.

I enjoyed a bottle of jack with an old friend a little too much last nite, and i wasted today recouperating. I WAS gona do the firewall, but its gona wait a little bit.

its good to see that u didnt listen to all the haters about how rhd is gay and the other shit they be sayin. i dont see wat the big deal is, well yea it is kinda dangerous cutting your car in half or replacing your firewall, but if done RIGHT or by a professional, it should be safe enough to drive. and yea it doesnt make ur car faster or anything, but who cares. its mainly for appearance and shits n giggles or to be different. other ppl get crazy ass paint jobs or some 24 in spinners on their escalades to be different, so why cant someone just do a rhd conversion to be different? anyways, i know i probably dint make a lot of sense lol, but to you for doin wat YOU want to do to ur car and not listening to others.
