JDM Front End Question - yes I have done a search :)
Okay I have done a search and cant find an answer to my question, if there is one someone please point me there. Anyway I live in Australia and I am keen for a JDM front end conversion and have found Headlights, Fenders, Bonnet, Bumper and Radiator Support at an Overseas wrecker for all up $750US plus shipping.
Now firstly is there any parts I need other than this? Secondly what is involved in doing one of these conversions? Is it a bolt on affair or is cutting and welding required?
Thanks in advance

Cutting and welding of the front radiator support is needed. but i have heard of people modding the usdm radiator support to make both jdm and usdm fronts fit correctly but it is hard work.

Because I would be buying the parts from a wrecker and not from a shop will it become prettyobvious the modification required? I have some experience with tuning engines but I admit I am a dunce when it comes to panel work

Okay dont suppose anyone has ever done a DIY Article on it listing all of the parts and the steps required? It seems that a stack of people in the US are doing the conversion (very few over here) but I cant track down any information on the work involved.................
