Default pix of my 00" si rhd project

started taking my car apart today . hopefully will it done by end of the week. a few months back i bought ctr front clip and stripped it down completely and got most of the firewall cut except for the sides. dash has been on my floor in my room for months now waiting and now that time has come.im going to try to do most of it myself except for the welding part i think i can do it although i know it will take me some time maybe close to 2 months to finish . heres just a few pix and i will post some pix of me working on the ctr clip and update daily. let me know what yall think.





































engine bay freshly painted

Not trying to be a dick, but what is the purpose of a RHD conversion? Other than the "WOW, a RHD Civic" factor?

I'm just curious.

I...just...don't understand. Have you ever driven RHD? Did you become accustomed to it and that's why you're doing this?

I will never for the life of me understand structurally devastating the front of your car just to be cool.

You're cutting up a car and welding it back together ... seems perfectly reasonable to me, no change in structural integrity at all.

Good luck with your project, though.

Guys, honestly.... Who cares? It is not his perogative to make anybody but himself happy. What you think is irrelevant.

It is his car, let him build it with HIS parts, the way HE wants, with HIS money. You don't have to look at the car if you don't like what he is doing. Get over it, because it is not your car.
