[xlilvi3tx]

The front end conversion was done at vinh body shop aka i4 garage down south. They did a great job on the alignment.

[xlilvi3tx]

Yeh, you're probably right. All i did was put a VTAK valve cover on my old LS. :goodjob:

[xlilvi3tx]

It is. The car is still red, white and green LOL. The first picture is a picture from a year ago when i first got the car and the second picture is recently after i put some work into the car.

[xlilvi3tx]

Thanks folks! Since yall keep asking ill get pics of the whole car. The whole car looks like shit right now since it is in the process of getting put together lol.

[94accordkid]

looks sick!
i would to love to open my hood and see a color like that

[Dirty Octopus™]

thats about how long it took do mine.

to the OP..that red is hawt. Bay looks very well done. :goodjob:
but Ben... your car was always red. and always had a 99-00 front. i mean... work can be done fast but the day and night difference is just a tad too remarkable.

[JEY$JDM]

wow... day and night difference!!! lol LOOKS GREAT!!!!!!!

[JEY$JDM]

wow... day and night difference!!! lol LOOKS GREAT!!!!!!!

[xlilvi3tx]

LOL it wasnt a day and nights work. I had the car for a year now and spent that much time buying parts for it and storing up to do all at once. The car was originally bone and i meant BONE STOCK. In about the end of february or beginning of march i started by getting the front end installed by i4 garage down in hapeville, i believe. After that, i got into installing my suspension and then just got done with the engine bay and swap about 3 days ago. A nicely built car doesnt just pop up over night. It takes ALOT of work and dedication to actually build one yourself instead of taking it to a shop and having them do it. I will post the pics that i do have tomorrow

[WTF?]

cant wait for full car photos

[jdm eg6]

nice job

[PreludeVTEC01]

Looks sick!

[Hondizzle!]

Good work, just a tip... I would flip the brake booster upside down. It makes it so that the big vaccuum line from the intake mani isn't visible. You just flip it 180 and then spin the vaccuum fitting 180 as well. Just a tip, looks great!

[ATK_Designs]

Great job man. Vinh's shop did pretty good on that one. Major props to the dedication and effort.

On a side note, it's funny how there're some tense feelings in this thread. I guess it's human nature.
