    you should have just cut out the firewall, not the whole damn car. good luck getting that windshield back in. or driving in a straight line.


    buy my nike sb's and supras........check my threads.....

    Um? Are you speaking from experience? Because I've seen 10+ cars done this way with zero problems, Measure twice and cut one and it usually comes out just fine.

    yeah, i cut the the floor and A-piller..


    here is why.
    this car was totaled out and there is no way of fixing it. (and i mean NO WAY TO FIX)
    both front frame got 7-9 inch pushed back, strut tower are gone, windshield are gone, door...... well, there was no door because it was cut in order to pull the driver out..... so on and so on and so on.

    i install the (now) passanger door and it bolted on perfectly and it open/close with out any sign of any damage>

    i got this car for 100buck and 300buck for the WHOLE front RHD clip.

    the title are clean and clear.

    OVER ALL IM PRETTY HAPPY WITH MY CUT AND PASTE PROJECT.

    It won't drive straight and is VERY dangerous. I remember seeing stuff about this a while back and bad issues from it. This is not even close to the proper way of doing it. Bad idea man...

    IMO a rhd conversion is completely retarded. But do what you do.
