Its a work in progress as well as a work of art. It should be seen in person to be appreciated.
Enjoy!








I'll post more pics when the motors in and all the body panels are back in John's possesion. It should be done by next weekend right John?

 

The owner of the car will probably be posting shortly so if you have any questions on how he did it, ask him!

 

What is the point of RHD?

 

RHD is sexy...

Because we drive on the right side of the road.

 

I'm not even going to get talk about this anymore, how about we just admire some fine craftsmanship...

 

im admiring it its a lot of work and its something diffrent, i think it would be fun rolling around on the wrong side everyone would look at you all crazy it would be funny to see peoples reactions when you roll up right next to them on the same side

 

bump for a sick RHD DA

do you need to take a special license test to drive on the "right" side? i heard you do...

 

you already know i love it.

just waiting for that ever so anticipated race between our funky fresh secret jdm garage projects.

and pics dont do it justice. you really HAVE to see it in person!

 

you kids and your silly photoshop and all them other funky editing programs....
hehe

well shes almost done. almost grrr. I'll start by saying it was (and still is) a great experience, alot of hard work and many many hours. This car was for fun, not to prove anything to anyone. had alot of help from friends cant possibly name them all but fuggi, brandt, billy, ralphy, everyone you know who your are...oh and cant forget bolt-detector craig with his 6th sense of "bolt-dar".

im very proud of what has to come, i built this car for myself, not for coverage or for controversy, for anyone who is going to ask why? or whats the point? or thats stupid or whatever your little hearts can possibly think of, well go for it, post up...freedome of speech right. but think about it before you post stupid comments.

as for everyone else thanks so much for all the compliments and i promise once the weather is nicer and the body panels are intact i will be sure to snap a few more shots.

 

yea, glad its almost done. can't wait man.

i'm happy i was help. and if ya need anything else you know where to find me.

to the jdm goodness and all the fun garage memories.

btw: that c&r looks pretty.

 

I love seeing a car stripped down and built from the ground up. says something about the owner - they know their cars intimately and... ok ill shut up now.

 

nah dude.. its so true.

he was talking about selling it, and i almost wanna cry thinking about it. and its not even my car.

but i've been there thru most of it and watched it go from nothing to something.

 

dope

Evryone calls their cars JDM, myself included, but they're not. Myabe JDM styled but not JDM. Why shouldnt a JDM enthusiast go the full nine yards and actually build a RHD, JDM car. I think a RHD car is import tuning in its purist form. John is one of the few people who can say he actually has a JDM car...</TD></TR></TABLE>

How about you go an extra yard and import an actual JDM car from Japan. A RHD car is hardly considered JDM

I see them everyday delivering mail.

Note: JDM = Car/part offered exclusively for the Japanese Domestic Market. The RHD Conversion is still "JDM Style."

 

interesting. hope it works out for you. I hear there are a lot of headaches with that sort of conversion.

 

That car is going to end up very nice...As long as it's kept clean and free of cheap knockoff carbon fiber lips, or cheap ABS body parts. Just stick with nice OEM parts, or an authentic Mugen kit...And people will melt.

 

i can tell you right now, the owner is a perfectionist and would have ONLY the best parts on that car.

nothing rice, nothing jdm 'style' it's all real deal and its bootyful

 

damn, that's pretty cool. i can't imagine the look on a person's face at a stoplight

i can't wait til we're on the highway or something next to an old lady, and i am holding a steering wheel on the left side, while john drives from the right... and then start convulsing and ****. i think it will be funny.

Looks very good! Are you planning to repaint it? If so, may I suggest taking as much of the interior back out as possible and painting the interior as well?

I think that car would look very nice in a dark green with Mugen M7 wheels.

 

Your "boy"'s car is looking incomplete. Post some pics when youre more complete.

 

Nice color...I've never seen that color on a DA.
