Sorry about your hatch man. The coupe looks great though. Are you going to swap it to RHD, or are you keeping it normal? Haha sucks having a gtr passenger seat. Good luck with the rest of the build.

So...How do you like driving a LHD 240 instead of a RHD one? When I switched back, For some reason I like it more now.

im not going to convert this one to rhd. it was weird the first few days, but im used to it now. just drifting is gonna be weird again untill i get the hang of it. next is probably a bucket and harness on the drivers side.

Great...yet another pink CA. I miss like 4-5 years ago when I was the only one. Clean car however! Just makes me want to repaint my engine.

On a side note, I had a drunk total my coupe to a similar degree and I did a chassis swap to a hatch. Haha. Weird.
