And the RHD conversion is it! So yesterday I was out and about and what ya know..its gettin cold outside. soo..hum..winter here perhaps?

Me, Church, and our friend Adam worked on getting the COMPLETE rhd firewall out. Drilled all the spot welds out and chiseled out the firewall.

It was ALOT of work and took all afternoon only because we had never taken one out before and I also wanted to have the complete firewall out so when I cut out my LHD firewall...i could just trim and overlap the RHD firewall.

So on to the pics...

well today wasnt as eventful as we had hoped. We got the blower motor hole cut out on the JDM clip..and we drilled out the spot welds on my car and took off the reinforcement plates off the side. Also dropped the LHD racking pinion and preped the RHD one for install. I have to redo one of the PS lines on the RHD racking pinion because its bent. But its getting there.

The guy welding is suppose to come by tonight to help mock up where we need to cut so we can start to process of putting everything back together!

update: Well my friend came by tonight to shed some light on what he needs us to do to start the process of removing my LHD fire wall. Also i am going to remove my chassie harness to flip it over onto the Right side so that it will line up with my fuse box. Yeh thats right..im even switching the ECU and fuse box to the correct location for RHD BOO YAHH

nice pics. you guys are working fast, it would take me 3 months to get all that done, keep up the good work.

Post by **SilviaSprung** » Wed Nov 18, 2009 4:25 am

Here is a little update. We installed the dashboard so we could mock up the mounting brackets for it. My welder is now going to come over Saterday. So yesterday we did the wireharness, I also took apart the ignition and swapped over the tumblers so my key would work the jdm ignition. I pretty much put together the jdm steering column( wiper switches/blinkers switches) and ignition. So here it is so far..
