I would think stripping the body and putting on another car would be much more work then a LHD conversion. That's if the kit has been installed correctly. Looks like everything is lined up. That's a really good deal IMO. I'm into mine for far more, someone is going to get a sweet car with no waiting period or work. Just my kit and install cost would have covered purchase of that car. Hopefully the new owner will be on the board, would like to check it out in person.

 

Bueatiful car man.. If your ever driving it through victoria let me know!

 

Went down to Arlington today to drop off the engine etc. for the car and get everything finalized, will be posting a bunch of new pics.. not that far off now, starting to get really stoked!

 

Dropped off my parts car to JMI Motoring in Arlington, looks like their has been a lot of great progress with the paint since I last posted, here are some more pics of the paint.

 

any updates?

 

nice

 

Car is still waiting for final spray. Can't wait till this process is done, but it takes time to get things right. Here is the most recent pic of the project.

 

Have you picked a colour yet?

 

Yeah, what color did u choose? White?

 

The color you see on the outer shell is the primary color, the whiteish color will be replaced by a very similar color to the primary but with more silver in it. Hard to visualize but looks really siick in person.

 

This looks amazing in person, pics taken with Iphone so hard to see the depth and contrast of the two colors, but I am more then happy with the results. A couple parts will be black as an accent color, like the rear underskirt. Interior is going to be red doorskins and red leather seats, everything else black. Brand new black carpet and headliner. And stoked on this all new door seals sunvisor etc. and new windshield, my old car drove me crazy in this respect, the door seals were fading and the normal scratches etc. on the glass of a 16 yr old vehicle won't be missed.

 

Im not a big fan of the fortune model but it looks good. congratulations

 

 

It's looking so good, hope to see more and come see in person sometime after it's done.... keep us update!!!

I want to build a fortune FD too, how much approx from scratch?

 

one word... tint

that aside looks badass.

 

Set aside $xxx,xxx.

Not kidding either.

 

Thanks a lot for all the positive comments guys!! as far as cost to build, really depends on what your starting with, and how far you want to go with it. ie complete color change, whether you can do some or all of the work yourself, exchange and shipping rates, taxes etc., With the cost of the vehicle(came without an engine, some upgraded suspension, and some interior) and the cost of the kit, paint, install, odds and ends(various parts, wheels to fit body, tires etc), exchange, I'm currently between 40-50K Can.

 

Oic, that's decent price.... I wanna get a roller chasis FD and build a Veilside Fortune FD sometime in the future.... just dreaming!!

 

Engine is in the car as of a couple of days ago, wheels have been taken apart and are getting partially painted. New seats etc. are being shipped, fingers crossed another week or two

 

Wow... I love the subtlety of the two-tone

 

just curious what was done to the front inner fenders to fit the wide body? did the kit come with them or did you have a custom set built? i installed a cheapo widebody & had to build my own. nice choice on the color scheme looks good

 

Thanks for the comments guys. Front fenders came mountable, had to tweak them to get the fitment and lines correct. What style wide body did you go with?

 

Still hooking things up, oil coolers on, wheels almost done.

 

i used the b-sport widebody from extreme dimensions. fit like ****. lucky my buddy owns a body shop & fixed that lol

 

Looking awesome!
