Thats crazy how you recognize this car, and from the pictures the previous owner sent me everything seemed legit. Once I decided to remove the dash that's when I really started to look thoroughly at the conversion. I cant wait to send pics of the car when it's done to the person I bought it from.

ya the car is still in your name I havn't been able to register it yet due to the extensive amount of work im going to be doing to it. I've had it for a while now... I should have more progress, but me getting a second dui and going to school it has been really hard to drop money into.

you had the car three years and havent registered in your name? thats messed up, you get a dui in this car? paying the back registration is going to be pricey, to they guy who sold it to him, you better write or call the dmv and tell them the vehicle was sold, once he gets his license back im sure this car will be able to be driven and get another dui in your name

Still don't know why you guys do RHD swaps. Here in Canada for the price you picked up the dash and parts to convert, you could have purchased a 180sx with CA18 here.

Money that should have gone into your engine.

That said, you no doubt have become very familiar with the s-chassis now, and I see you have been installing some go fast bits too.

Keep doing your thing!

I havnt got a DUI in this vehicle, I literally bought the car and just started to do work on it. Paying back the registration wont be an issue for me due to the fact that I had the seller leave the "date" blank, so when I do plan to register it I can simply write a more current date to avoid penalties.

I havnt got a clue in where exactly I got this car from because it was so long ago, but I know it wasn't too far from Camarillo. And thanks hopefully pretty soon within a month from now I'll finally have an update on this thing after it has been soo long.. I'm glad to see people are still interested in this build after it has been years since an update.

I give you credit, I'd never ever ever ever dive that far into a chassis...the RHD conversion is commendable!

However with the ton of work on this thing, and you used orange sillicone for everythign? "C'mon man" That stuff looks so tacky. And you didn't bother to tear the engine down/clean it out/check it out? All that nice bling could goto waste if the engine is gunked up for got crap in it.

Either way, props on the build...didn't mean to nitpick but that sort of 'little stuff' goes a long way.
