* Anyone who says a firewall swap is "better" is flat out wrong, after you look closely at the EG A pillar base, you'll understand that it's strength lies within. Multiple layers of steel make up the door jam and windshield base.

* Re-alignment of the clip is easier than a FW swap.

* Electronics are easier with a clip swap.

* If your jigs are designed correctly, a clip chop is not a big deal.

* I had the car on the alignment rack before the cut then after the cut, I re-aligned it......the rear toe did not change.

* Company that installed the windshield said "This screen fits better than some new cars"

* Phuck the haters, cost to fix the car with OEM LHD sheet metal and headlights was almost 1.4 times the cost of clipping it. Plus, GheyDM value-add for re-sell is a plus.

* Phuck the haters.

* Will take many years to competently drive on track, at speed again....

* Phuck the haters, was cheaper to fix this way.

* Over 80 hours in the job.

* Over 6 hours in the floor-board jig alone.

I decided to make the cut under the front seat mounts to aid against horizontal shear

Note: floorboard jig

Rattle can ownz all

Vertical plates were added to aid against vertical shear

i got an idea.

cut the car in half again, take the back half, make a stand so it sits level........add beer keg mount in hatch area.

place plasma TV in front of half shell.........watch the game

i don't have ADD, i just have trouble giving a shit about what other people say and do

will this be your track-only car,or also a daily?will you have it at Expo?catching you at your first RHD track-day would be my only chance in hell to ever roll you!and just remember-you'll have to use the right hand now to give the middle finger out the window.

as a testament that doing it right will present no problems,my coupe was rear clipped,and it's given me no problems for over ten years now.

weldable primer

i was thinking about using that on my project car, was it hard starting an arc on that sh1t? i was sitting in the store reading all of the brand's cans LOL and i always though i would've been better off with grinding my old paint off, welding then hitting it with some cheap black primer

just like bare metal....zero issues

dAng!

try finding a straight rust free eg shell or complete on the east coast for less than $5000. I've pretty much given up on my car because shells are so hard to come by.

oh yea, yack =
