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...

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...

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!

malpaso View Member Profile Enthusiast Joined Feb 3, '06 From Czech Republic (Europe) Currently Offline Reputation: 56 (100%)	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) This post has been edited by malpaso: Sep 9, 2009 - 5:38 AM -------------------- No more replicas... This is evolution...
