    I now own the s400 in question, but I don't believe he is giving up on the car altogether.... :ahah:

    Hope to hear more from the original poster....

    That would be a crap load of work. You'd have to use the late-model column(easy part) and carry over all the body control computer/wiring/sensors/etc. More head-ache than it would be worth IMO.

    edit: if anyone wants dash pics send me a pm

    haven't given up on the build just yet... might go turbo later, just trying to get the car together and running, ran into "eyes bigger than my stomach" type situation. So it'll be a while before i can go turbo, however most all the other parts are still on the car. Couple updates..


    bumpstops....optional!


    new meats!

    ah, the infamous 3rd gen bumpstop "mod"... did you weld a panel in there or just leave it open? Even though the stock piece is tin, it is stamped to help stuctural integrity. I'd weld a filler panel in there.

    there will be a filler panel put there, i still have some other cutting to do to the front inside corners, it will look like xp3ndbl's wheel wells when i get done.
