do you have a community college near you?

I recommend. taking some welding courses, and some metal fab work courses. If knowledge is what you seek. We cant teach that in the forums here.

I have toyed the idea of converting my vert to AWD, but then, realized, that i would have to put a lot of work, to make the chassis a little more rigid for the awd set up. if you want to do it right.

Why not wait 3 to 4 more years and import a real gt4.

there are a few people that have converted to awd here, not verts. unfortunately, as with all JDM, once it breaks, its fun to source parts from Japan. just my 2 cents.

When you have money, and time and the skills. Its the time to get the parts you need that kills it.

Yea I could wait but I was gonna start this project with the 5s n the thought came in to my head to do the awd plus when are you ever gonna see a awd vert but the awd is just an idea for now oh and yes I do have a community college lol and a bunch of trade schools where I live

i was just messing with the community college crap! lol.

In theory you can fab anything, but i have seen so many dreams shattered, when they realize how hard it is to finish.

you have to buy the subframe and differential and start welding and creating mounting points. Lots of sheet metal..

the hatchback is somewhat easiet, as some areas are already there, but the vert is different.
