After I sold my mint 94 GS-R to a friend who needed a car. because his EF got stolen, I always dreamed of building a white DC2 with a JDM conversion. I already had a JDM B18C sitting from a previous transaction. So after months of looking for a white shell, I finally found my base. Here is the process of the build:

1-07-07
Craigslist posting pic. Scoping out the shell. Asking price $2200, paid $1550. Alot ricey, but very clean:

1-13-07
Actual pics after the stakeout:

3-20-07
Brought back shell to my friend's house for the rebuild and dericing. Negotiated for $1550.

4-05-07
Look what UPS dropped off:

4-21-07
Hacking off the USDM support to install the JDM support:

5-08-07
Cleaned up engine bay and ABS delete:

Dropping in the motor:

5-19-07
Modding SiR-G headlights to blackened ITR style and painting bumper grill:

Finished product:

Finishing headlight wiring and final fit:

Different looks:
On 16' Enkei RS-E's:

On 15' Drag DR-20's w/ ITR style lip:

As it sits today with 16' Rota GT3's:

Planning for boost this Spring. Aleady have the kit, just trying to find the time to install and tune.

What all is involved when removing the abs? just unplug everything in the engine bay? doing that will give you an abs light, right?

nice transformation by the way.
