    My 97 RHD wagon build. Started the TT swap 12/20/14

    This is my 1997 Postal wagon. I bought the rolling chassis no engine or transmission for 400 bucks at the beginning of the summer 2014. I had pics of getting it back together with the JDM EJ20e swap and the 5spd swap but lost most of them due to accidental phone formatting.

    So heres what I have done so far:

    5mt swap
    JDM EJ20e swap
    Outback heated leather seats in front
    Outback leather rear seat
    Legacy GT leather door panels
    Random GT wood trim
    GT premium cd/cassette player with GT speakers
    GT hood
    6000k HID

    ------> My RHD 97 <------

    1997 RHD Wagon soon to be 20r swapped

    Well done so far! Keep it up!

    Gotta love living in the Northwest...lots of rust free RHD's still available to play with.

    "We have become part of something much more complicated than you will ever fully comprehend. We build more than just cars...We build friendships, we build futures, we build our dreams. We drive our cars fast and hold our heads high because we have a unwritten and unspoken agreement that we will live life to the fullest and never fall victim to "The Norm". Others laugh at us when we spend hours on end working on our cars, yet shake our hands when we are done."

    Awesome! That's a great wagon and build you have. I'm jealous that you live in Bend. I spent a year there and it's one of my favorite places in the world. Enjoy it!

    I learned the hard way, you'll need the whole bumper beam to deal with that larger grille cutout.

    what are you planning on doing with the front clip after you are done? Did it come with a dash? :P hehe
