The conversion is very straight forward, I picked it up from a guy who was selling them locally got an excellent price it came with everything including wheels I just pressed new bushings in before installation

Re: Kid-Vtek's EK build "lets try this again"
Thanks guys!
started the wire tuck tonight, didnt get very far....
the original plan was to relocate the fuse box to the glove back but after some test fitments the modifications required to make it work seem unnecessary. so after a little playing around i chose here
since my car is base model and does not have air bags ill be placing it here, fit much nicer. ill rig something up so i can just pop the dash panel off for easy access.
got the main harness out
bay practically free of wires
tomorrow i will try and get the fuse box mounted and wires soldered in place so i can move onto the headlights next.

Very nice build so far. Good luck on everything! Does the fuse box just sit in there, or did you bolt it down some how?

Re: Kid-Vtek's EK build "lets try this again"
Didnt get as far as i want to this weekend, too much other stuff going on but i managed to get the dash out and passenger side completely wire tucked. ill start on the driver side when i get around to it but probably not till after Christmas. building cars near Christmas hurts the wallet and when you brother's Bday (Dec12) and mother's bday (Dec24) are in the same month things can get out of control quickly. so for my brother's bday i polished his car. turned out pretty good, its a 3 stage polish. also the whole front end is 3M including half the hood, before i started the 3M was starting to fade but now u can hardly tell its even there.

I got them from a local warehouse called WorldPac where we (the shop I work at I am mechanic) get all our parta from, I can get you a part number if that help? A new trailing arm must be pricey, but im surprised an aftermarket company doesn't make a bushing kit..... They must.
