So this is my first rhd conversion ever so i will try and keep evryone interested. Oh and im doing it all mostly on my own except for paint because my brother in law is the **** at painting so why "f" up a good build with some crappy paint job "what i would probably do" when my car will look like glass when painted by the master himself Dan Hogan. ill post his lexus gs he painted as a reference. But last thing is i got the car from a friend for about 4 benji's that included the clip, yea i know it was a steal!!!

 

Pics of the fire wall and the hatch without the fire wall you can see the wholes from the spot weld drill bit. i will post more tommorw.

In for more details.

 

Don't forget to wash your hands before you eat!

 

its a pain in the **** removing all those spot welds. good luck. looks good so far.

 

I got alot of work done today on the fire wall and motor. Oh and picked up some goodies from the local honda dealership with my homie hook-up of coarse. More work to come tommorow hopefuly primer the fire wall. and finishe the motor. There is a midnight run on june 26th hopefully will be ready before that night.

 

yea i know, but its just another learinig experiance like every other build i have done thanx for the props !

 

I love "green."

 

in for updates.

 

Nice

 

so you only replaced the firewall to make it rhd?

 

Was this intended to be a real question or a joke?
If it were real no there is actually alot more involved to make the car a fully functionable and safe rhd. Just keep checking my posts and you will see.

 

so RHD civics are gold in U.S and most euros country huh

 

I think it depends on who you talk too i believe they are, but some like to say conversions are not as good as ledgit jdm cars but i think they all are the same except i didnt buy mine i built it and i like it better that way because when im rolling down the way i know its all mine!!!!

 

Good luck with the build! You are on the right track with the Corona....no build is complete with out beer.......Oh by the way that Lex is amazing!

 

im in for update.. i much rather a diy rhd conversion thats done right, than 10k invested into one from japan. anywho will be spot welding or stick welding?

 

So got some more done yesterday check it out, sprayed white primer sealer but didnt harden in some spots so ground down and shaved all the wholes. Got up this am early and sparyed the fire wall with primer. Plan to hardline the brakes and bolt up the motor to the car we will see.

 

Wow good job

 

I totally agree i actually "stich" welded it all in using a mig welder basiclly there is a 2" weld about ever 4-6" then filled all the other gaps with seam sealer then smoothed all the seams.

 

thanx it pays to own a buisness i can work on my car as much as I want but still got to make those benji's. Well back to work will be working on the brake lines a little later then i wont be posting for a couple of days going on vac. for a week to cali. ill have some pic's fo sho tonight of the brake line work.
GOD BLESS

 

finished installing the brake lines and bulk heads today

 

exactly.. thats exactly what i plan on doing. much stronger than spot welds imo..

 

its looking good!
