I just pulled out my radiator but it was hard cause its so smashed.. i will get some pictures up here tonight.. but i think i can get the car out driving (without an intercooler) tonight!! we will see!

[Dreamspawn]

how did you settle for out of curiosity. i'm glad to see you got her back a RHD 3kgt that would be so SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TorchedStealth]

Thats awesome man! I really wanted to see the only converted RHD 3/S pull through this one, so im glad it did (or will anyways)

[AutostradaVR4]

glad to hear you didnt get it stuck in your pooper man. You may have a little work ahead of you, but hey, at least youve got a little cash in your pocket.

and you got to keep your car.

cant wait to see pics.

Yeah... I got 12800 for it.. and then got the car as salvaged

[jason_bet]

ok so I am considering doing the 99 conversion.. The front and the wing.. the front would cost 2035 + tax
and the wing is a like 600
I have huge deals on painting.. 1,200 for every thing.. including the door jams
and if I do that.. then i am getting the JDM doors..

I will make my choice by tomorrow after noon any feed back would be good..
I am also thinking about changing my car title to the JDM vin from my clip.. (no salvage) it will cost around 1000 bucks to do that..

[Dreamspawn]

JDM doors????
99 conversion would be killer man

[jason_bet]

Yeah JDM doors cause if you look at the side mirrors they are off set.. so you cant use the left mirror when i drive.. its not bad the other two are fine.. if you try sitting in the passanger seat and looking you will see what I mean

I knew about the mirrors, thought there was a major differnce which was why you wanted to swap. Could you just swap mirrors instead of doors?? btw i doubt its still there but there was a 99 bumper on 3si the other day..

i say YES to the 99 convo...goddamn. your car was badass b4...now with the 99 front and wing...im excited for you lol

with the JDM doors...wow...thats crazy. i cant believe i never noticed that before.

the vin swap thing should be interesting...

for one, will it still be legal with the JDM VIN?

two, will your insurance change? will you need new title? did you get a title with the clip? registration? can it be registered?

three...how in the hell is the front clip not a salvage title???lol.

all i can say man...when that thing is all done, youll have one hell of a car. I really hope you plan on showing it. I know i cant really relate, but all the time and money you put in just seems so worth it.

Also, what color are you gonna have it painted?

[Linebckr49]

jdm doors? bah, how bout the supposed jdm power FOLDING mirrors!!! now that would be badass.

1000 for title swap?! don't waste your money.

99 front end...like my friend Borat says "very nice!!"
99 wing...again, don't waste your money. unless you want midgets to use it as a park bench, i would keep your 1G wing that flips up and down. coolness factor. OR, you could get the 97-98 hoop spoiler. that things looks good.

Dont do the title swap. The car will not be legal. Why do you think the few GTOs in the country are all not street legal? Because they cant be registered.

dude... you are very smart when it comes to 3s's.. I would listen to you and igovert over just about any one on AF.. That said I am also confident in my knowledge of importing cars.. I also am open that I am completely wrong in this matter... I will look more into it..

your constant reminder that it cant be done.. really makes me want to do it.. haha so.. I guess we will see what happends

i seem to remember him saying something about color-shift pink/white. i think the OEM name for that mix was JDM Hello Kitty.

lol, but seriously i'm a little curious myself. my vote goes for black but i'm a little biased
