How difficult is the front end conversion? Its something I really want to do but my technical expertise might be in question. If you have any info on the matter it would be greatly appreciated as Google isn't giving me much help. Basic info I'm looking for are tools needed, basic steps, and completion time. Thanks.


ps: If I did go through with this Id also be looking to convert doors and rear bumper but I don't think that would be difficult unless you know something I dont.

not that difficult at all.....but if you have doubts on whether or not you can do it, then i'd suggest you get somebody else to do it so you dont screw it up...
me and 2 of my friends did mine on one sunday....so you can deff. do it in a day

nice vid


yeah i would only be hesitant if it required any welding or significant body cutting/modification, im comfortable making minor cuts here and there to make things fit. How much of this did yours require? Where did you get your information on doing the conversion?

been doin more research, sounds like welding is required for the rad support? Im assuming some MIG tacks on each side?

I Have never done one until now im in the process of mine right now and its fairly easy. mig welding is so simple. i tought myself how to do it. its not a pain in the ass as everyone says it is if u buy the whole conversion where u get all the supports u need.

you will need some good spot weld drill bits, a cutting tool(i used a dremel with a 2 inch cutting disc), all normal sockets and other tools. And a lot of patience. Took me like 4 days from start to end with everything lined up almost perfect in the end.
