After all and under all circumstances I have made final decision what happen with my celis. I can not afford two of them but both has many advantages (one design and second power and traction). So I have only chance... two became one. The best from each will be taken. I hope in two months will be everything finished so stay tuned...
The plan: - to separate all "fancy" parts from ST-T (done!) - collect all parts for transformation and get GT-four ready (done!) - pass LHD conversion with GT-four (I know it hurts... but this is only way how to register car in CZ) (done!) - finish paint job... (done!) - tune new baby a bit  (in progress)Major work will do no one else but Romas him self . The best of the best for something like this... here I have few pics to share:August, 30th: Collection of parts for conversion has started... (complete LHD dash)    September, 2nd: Conversion date fixed, list of parts closed, conditions set... I'm full of optimism . Everything is perfect  . Fingers crossed...  To be continued...

Dibs on the TRD strut bar!!!!!
haha, that is crazy, but well worth it, its going to be awesome gt4, but seriously let me know if you sell the trd bar.. -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL
If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore. |

Good progress! This is coming along pretty quick. I'm disappointed to see the destruction of the original SS-Four. But I know something better is coming up, and I can't wait to see it come together! Best of luck to you.

just what I first thought when you got the gt4, just amazing the amount of work you have to do, so how are you going to do LHD part, your ST steering componants wounldn't fit would they?

I have some updates again. I have all parts for conversion ready and now just collecting the rest for sale. As fast as possible because every single penny will be needed
. So yes side skirts, bumper, hood, fenders and many other parts are available. Just make your dibs via PM .September 9th: engine is out...  "Lord of destruction" at work...    And result what has left... so I have definitely just one car to drive again.  Now small maintenance of "remaining one" . You would not believe how exhaust may look after years   Final confirmation... this is SS-four! (because front bumper was shaped on ST support bar with custom bracket it was necessary to re-weld it as well. On original GT-four one just was not fit)
