This looks really nice!! Were you able to re-cover the door panels in your S13? I saw the vert panels and you said they were removable, but I was checking mine out and they don't look like they come off...

Thank You, Thank You,

Rolled it outside and gave her a quick bath today.



Then after a final rub down and some taping primer went down.



Front fenders wont fit at the bottom no more, the rocker panels have been destroyed by the car being too low. and the tops are gapped a bit due to the amount of pull on the fenders to clear the wheels.

I have to block out the car one more time, and color will be layed soooon.

Nice paint booth

A lot of people have problems with the rocker panels. Mine are garbage because the previous owner seems to have jacked up the car from every possible spot except for the actual intended jacking point.

Converting to RHD is the most RICER thing you can ever do to a car man. Go get a real silvia or 180sx. Jesus.

lol, dude chill do you know how much more work it is to get a real 180 or silvia in the states? its easy for us up here in canada but not at all down there. Chill out and let him do what he wants with the car.. everything has been done flawlessly so far.

Did you read, where I said I converted it in '04? Before you even knew what a 240sx was, let alone out of middle school.

Lets take into consideration the difficulty of getting a real JDM car in the states, compared to Canada. One could then see why it would be easier to convert. I am proud of the work I have completed on my car, and at this point there is not one thing I would change. Especially not due to a bandwagon jumper saying it is ricey.
