well anyhow while you all brawl it out on this guys post lol.
I do agree your moving fast into this, especially at such a young age. As far as the rear you need to do alot more research, i had talked with Jim (before he ****ed the world) about it and its quite difficult to source and do the conversion, and he had alot of connections and was importing from Japan himself. And there was a bit of custom work involved. I dont remember exactly this was like two years ago. Not to say its impossible but its going to take so much as for now id stick with fwd. And just look on ebay for a front clip. Its going to be like 3-4 grand but thats only the beginning or the money your going to spend. IMHO id save like 6k before even thinking about it, especially if its your DD. Not to mention if you dont have all the tools, parts missing from the clip, dont know 100% what your doing, ect. I'd like to see another 6gc evolve but take your time. I get the feeling you are thinking this can happen quickly. -------------------- I've spilt my heart into this car :) And I don't ever plan to stop  - 6GC for Life - >Semper Fi< 1994 Cupra :p 3sgte 1995 Celica ST DD 1969 Chevelle SS alllll balls.
