Handmade's RHD EG build
So this is my first rhd conversion ever so i will try and keep evryone interested. Oh and im doing it all mostly on my own except for paint because my brother in law is the **** at painting so why "f" up a good build with some crappy paint job "what i would probably do" when my car will look like glass when painted by the master himself Dan Hogan. ill post his lexus gs he painted as a reference. But last thing is i got the car from a friend for about 4 benji's that included the clip, yea i know it was a steal!!!

Re: Handmade's RHD EG build
So got some more done yesterday check it out, sprayed white primer sealer but didnt harden in some spots so ground down and shaved all the wholes. Got up this am early and sparyed the fire wall with primer. Plan to hardline the brakes and bolt up the motor to the car we will see.

I totally agree i actually "stich" welded it all in using a mig welder basiclly there is a 2" weld about ever 4-6" then filled all the other gaps with seam sealer then smoothed all the seams.
