Figured I might as well start a project thread as I'm sure I'm going to run into some tough spots through out this build!!! Also sorry in advance for the long initial post.
So in the grand scheme of things I'm taking 2 GT4's and a Turbo 4wd (Canadian Car) and making 1. I'll be using the body of the red 92 and converting it to LHD using all the required parts including the firewall of the white 90. Interior will be half from the red car and half from the white. Then for the engine I'll be using the 94 engine, tranny and rear end with 1990 wiring hooked up to my AEM EMS.
I've owned the white car now almost 5 years. I've done a few things here and there (Suspension, EMS, side feed manifold etc) but the body has always been rough. It looked OK from the outside but the floor and even getting into the frame was rotting away. I had no front sway bar because the mount rotted away. I've always debated whether to spend a shit load fixing the rust or just buying a Southern shell or something.
2 years ago a local guy wrote off his 94 so jumped on that as I wanted that rear end as well as the drivetrain and those Wheels!! Sold a few things off it and the rest now sits in my shed.
Well a little over a month ago a member on this site blew the engine on their JDM car and needed the body gone. We worked out a fair deal and I went and picked it up. Only issue its RHD.... so here we go.
As you can see I've got most of the interior out of the red car and still half the engine left in the engine bay.... then disassemble of white car... then firewall swap and paint. then put it all back together
