The Transformation has begun... 2nd gen of SS-four under construction, Sneaky update after years: 4th of January 2011 Options

[malpaso]

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...

To SwissFerdi: In Europe are three countries where driving on left side of the road: UK, Malta and Cyprus. Rest is right side of the road...

To 97celiman: Driving RHD car in CZ (or other LHD countries) it's not quite illegal. I drove with my car as RHD car in LHD countries over 5000miles. Been pulled over by police 4x because they were just curious to see steering wheel on the other side . Checked papers and done. However need to say I had UK plates on car. With local registration on RHD car I would need to have special permission from government (not kidding). I talked to THE guy who is giving those permissions via phone and he said I have no chance having it (because I do not meet all conditions they want like owned car 6month before import etc.). I do not have any issue with RHD cars (after 5000miles on LHD roads ) so I would keep it as is... however after that phone call I had just one choice. That's whole story.

To ja_ma: agree white is damn nice color. Unfortunately very hard to keep it clean good looking and (you would be surprised) is for me cheaper to change color than keep it in white and follow my SS-four design .
