EJ Front conversion to EG

**thebob** · 14-01-2008 09:42 PM

Ek9 interior fits everywhere, even a EK hatch rollcage fits the EM/ EJ. You will have no problem with the interior.

Front end, Bonnet should mount the same, the Ek and JDM DC2 is the same so i cant see why the EG would be different. To make the 1/4 panels fit you will need to cut just behind the light but IN FRONT of the start of the flare for the wheel. You will see what i mean when you pull the EK radiator support off and put the EG one on and line it all up. Its not overly hard, just time consuming. Best way to do 1/4's is bolt everything up lights, front bar, bonnet, then take the car to panel shop and let them weld the guards up to suite. Unless you know how to seemweld. A situation like this the front end will be a talking point of your car so people will be looking at it, so its better to get the fidely stuff done by someone who knows what they are doing.

Its personaly preference, the only reason why i still want an EG is coz of how it looks. the EK big lights doesnt fancy me.. thats why i want to change it to EG front ;D im not the JDM fanboy... i like my body kits

thanks thebob, ill check it out.. ill be doing all the labour work.. but if its outta my league ill pay someone..

this will include expansions or cutting fender or anything.. fibreglassing anything that needs to be fibreglassed to cover gaps.. as well as painting..

i can see your doing your project with a JDM teg front

gl with that! im subscribed to your project ;D

i would be doing a JDM DC2 front, screw the EG front lol.

Be sure to post up progress and pics!
Love to see it.

thebob's info is the best advice i read and i know his doing similar.
If you take that info into consideration and have some spare $$$, you should be fine.

thanks guys ;D hopefully all goes well.. although this project is gna take a few months :P My priority atm is the interior then the outside! just easier for me to mod thats why..

although i do have the necassry parts already assembled and will prefit it.. if its easier than i think then ill do it straight away.. looking to buy another run around car while this gets stripped and modded..

My budget for the exterior is about 3k. this is for labour etc.. lucky i got friends who are in the industry for panel beating and painting! this budget wont consist of the parts.. as i already have the fenders, bonnets, bar and lights.. wiring should be quite easy with the lights..

Ill be posing like ur progress Paul :P but prolly not as much ahahha
