oxorockmanoxo Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 i want to say thanks to newlogics in san pablo for hooking me up with this car. its an 87 shell, has a 4g64 already in and a custom aluminum radiator. i havent deicided if im going to keep the 4g64 or put in my g54b. well see. i really didnt plan on having it road ready for at least 2 years, even before i got the other motor. but the body is straight for the most part, no rust, looks like they got into a fender bender with the l/r quarter panel and l/f fender too. but all in all, its gonna be a good project, and i really wanted to say thanks to newlogics for helping me out. oh ya, it aint green yet, but i want it to be forest green like my very first one. so ill just stick with the name. http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/oxorockmanoxo/greenstar/CIMG1118.jpghttp://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/oxorockmanoxo/greenstar/CIMG1119.jpghttp://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/oxorockmanoxo/greenstar/CIMG1120.jpghttp://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/oxorockmanoxo/greenstar/CIMG1121.jpghttp://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/oxorockmanoxo/greenstar/CIMG1122.jpghttp://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/oxorockmanoxo/greenstar/CIMG1123.jpghttp://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/oxorockmanoxo/greenstar/CIMG1124.jpghttp://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/oxorockmanoxo/greenstar/CIMG1125.jpghttp://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/oxorockmanoxo/greenstar/CIMG1126.jpghttp://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/oxorockmanoxo/greenstar/CIMG1127.jpghttp://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/oxorockmanoxo/greenstar/CIMG1128.jpghttp://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/oxorockmanoxo/greenstar/CIMG1129.jpghttp://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/oxorockmanoxo/greenstar/CIMG1130.jpghttp://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/oxorockmanoxo/greenstar/CIMG1131.jpghttp://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/oxorockmanoxo/greenstar/CIMG1132.jpg - adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shift1313 Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 what are you planning? it looks like its been gutted pretty good. are you making a track car or are you going to do a full interior? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxorockmanoxo Posted November 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 well, like i said i want the paint to be forest green. imma do doorjams and engine bay flat black. havent quite decided on the interior, but if i do, i want to the tan leather interior. thanks for the offer jack, but im really into the 88/89 style seats. then i really think imma stick with the 4g64. and also, i really dont plan anything soon, 2 years at least. of course ill post pics and what not along the way. - adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOOSTED88tsi Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 whered the gunmetal one go? ,Newlogics is a sick bunch a guys. i bought the drivers seat, and the rear seat out of that car for $20. They also did all the exhaust and the bigger intercooler set up i have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxorockmanoxo Posted November 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 i know, i remember. they gave me the shell, motor, and radiator. they were gonna take the motor out, but got lazy and said i could have it. i sold the gunmetal one a couple weeks back. guy came from utah and drove it home. kinda sad, wish i still had my car, or a running sq at least. patience is key though i guess. - adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtbanas Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Adrian, about the seats, no problem, I was hoping for maybe a trade, '83 hood for the seats, I know you know someone who could help with this trade or sale.Later,Jack.

oxorockmanoxo Posted November 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 actually got to do some work this past week. just a little teaser of whats to come. the conversion is about 75% done. ive been documenting everything and am doing a how-to on the conversion. - adrian http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/oxorockmanoxo/sq%20rhd%20conversion/CIMG1188.jpghttp://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/oxorockmanoxo/sq%20rhd%20conversion/CIMG1189.jpghttp://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/oxorockmanoxo/sq%20rhd%20conversion/CIMG1192.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blind_Drifter Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 So your steering column is completely upside down? Flip up to signal left and vice versa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxorockmanoxo Posted November 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 no. everything is the same. imagine that i just moved everything straight over to the passenger side, which is more or less what i did exactly. you can see in the pics, the ignition is still on the right side and the turn signals are still on the left side. like i said, im doing a write up and dont want to post anything until it is complete. the steerening column has a good amount of support right now, but i want to make a better support bracket for it for safety reasons. then all i need are to get brake/clutch lines. other than the dash, the conversion will be done after those things. - adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GCNTSi Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Thats Awesome man, tight work!RHD=Freaking cool! Last summer I helped a friend drive a Silvia back from Phoenix, to S. Florida, the rhd took a little getting used to but it was really fun to drive, and fun looking at people looking at us funny. At one point I was driving next to a RHD Cherokee mail Jeep, the woman driving it looked confused. Later he got a Skyline, it really turned heads. -GCNTSi.

Truth Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 i am SO doing the RHD conversion when i hit the powerball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxorockmanoxo Posted January 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 with the break in the rain and my need to move the car to a new garage, i got the break master moved over, break resovoir mounted, break lines in, clutch line in, fluids bled, and steering support in. so breaks are fully functional now as well as the clutch and steering. as soon as i get it garaged, gonna start taking body panels off and start working on the motor, finally. http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/oxorockmanoxo/sq%20rhd%20conversion/CIMG1273.jpghttp://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/oxorockmanoxo/sq%20rhd%20conversion/CIMG1278.jpg i am SO doing the RHD conversion when i hit the powerball. im guessing powerball is like lottery? im doing this conversion with all original parts. the only things i bought was one break line, i was able to reuse all old lines, i got new ones, but when i found i didnt need them, i just returned them all but one. oh, i also bought some hardware to support the steering column. i know ill have to buy some more stuff cause i want to make a dash, but that wont be for a while. but im saying is the conversion is pretty cheap to do. just time consuming. - adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
