Jdm front

[lemmm]

hey guys i drive a dc2 and i wanna do a jdm front conversion, i've looked around and i dont see anything that gives me useful info on what's needed to do a jdm front, so i wanna know when getting a jdm front what should be in it? fenders, bonnet, electrical wiring, would i have to change my radiator? etc,

[pablos8]

I think u need the bonnet, fenders, front bar, headlights, radiator support

what pablos said is correctireino

should cost 1.5k for parts then theres labour and paint. unless you can do it yourself.

This is not something for beginners, you have to drill all the spot welds on your radiator support panel, then weld the new one from the JDM halfcut on, there will be some wiring differences too, but should be able to be worked out, better to have an expert do the welding, otherwise you could affect the crash performance of your chassis...

You will need, Radiator Support, fenders, bonnet, lights, wiring, and then paint it all, so it could cost a bit.

There is a few conversions for sale right now on OH, so it's a good time to get one, sadly its not the right time for me, as this is something I really want to do too.

Good Luck, Tseesinngwailo

Theres a few places in Sydney but thats not much help LOL.

Your best bet is to speak to someone in vic that has done it before and ask them where they recommend because not all panel beaters will know wtf they're doing or what you mean by the JDM front conversion.

LOL alright thanks for the help man!

Apparently DT Panels (Springvale Rd, I THINK) have done quite a few before and know what they're doing... If you don't trust them spraying it.. Get everything sprayed up etc.. Then get DT to re-assemble everything but i've heard good things about them

you will need to rewire your headlights, get radiator support and bumper support, fenders, hood latch and cable, bonnet, bumper and lip.
its pretty simple if you know how to weld, i dont see the big fus about it, its all probably chinese whispers.

jst find a welder to swap the rad support, the wiring is simple as. google a audm and jdm wiring dig. and match them up.
the rest is just bolting up the panels and adjusting them correctly.

hit me a pm i did my own front end
