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 smile.gif (in progress)

Major work will do no one else but Romas him self smile.gif . 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 smile.gif . Everything is perfect biggrin.gif . Fingers crossed... wink.gif

To be continued... biggrin.gif

September, 14th:
A lot happened... I have completely prepared car for The Transformation (see there is really 3SGTE inside smile.gif). All body parts are on, two drivers seats inside (guess why wink.gif)...



...and loaded in the car (even Romas didn't believe it's possible until he saw that smile.gif)


Final surprise was when I have reached his place... My SS-Four met sister there!!! biggrin.gif (based on SS-III with beams inside). My car must be really famous abroad wink.gif


However now is my baby in his hand s and next progress is up to him now... so fingers crossed smile.gif
