sweeet.. now that u've made the cut and a few tacks, there is no turning back unless you sell it all.
looks great man, the firewall swap looks alot cleaner than i thought it would!!
is there anything else you need to source to make the RHD work?

I don't think I need anything else. I have all the inteior wiring, door window switchs, kick panels, throttle cable, trunk/gas latch, and a few other little things. Who knows, I may run into something small that I need. After all the wiring is hooked up and hoses ran, I'll still need to get a motor and axles

I was looking for another RHD front clip, and haven't been able to find one, cause I may just build another one after this one is done. Just have to wait and see how this comes out

If things go the way I have it planned in my head cause I have no clue as to what I'm doing since I've never seen this done, it should look real good. I've got the color I want, the kit that's going on it, of course a retrofit, and a few other little things It's pretty much just going to be a daily driver anyways

the welds are really coming out nice, are you having any issues w/ the metal warping?
any place in particular you're gonna get the motor and axles from? you getting a motor and tranny combo or do you have one of those sitting around too?

Just learned a few months ago...Some of the welds look good, but others look like ass. It's not too big of a deal since most of it will be grinded down, primered, then covered up with some sound dampner

Yea, some of the welds look good, but some look like **** cause there are spots that are hard to reach with my fat hands like on the sides near the fenders. The metal is sitting nicely. I've had to hammer some parts, but nothing major. As for the motor, I might try and get one from my GF's dad since he has a salvage yard. I'm just waiting to get a motor from an Automatic Prelude since those can't really be red lined. I already have a tranny, but I just need to change the 5th gear syncro.

If I can, I will. Just have to see what will need to be cut and spliced first. I know wiring to the doors will have to be redone, cause the harness I got with the clip was cut
