Hey guys, kinda new here.

Ill get straight to the point, I have a "running" SOHC '93 coupe right now. I've been in the process of collecting parts for an LS swap.

However, an opportunity has been presented to me to buy a RHD coupe, 10pt cage, stitch welded seams, 50mm rear overs, and thats it, its a shell other wise. It does however come with a RHD parts car.

And I also have a '94 vert that I plan on stripping of all usable parts and then scrapping.

Would it be a good idea to move forward with the RHD car (which I can make an almost complete car for next to nothing) or pass it up and get my V8 swap done sooner?

I have two DOHC KAs that I can rebuild and use in the RHD car as well.

Rock and a hard place for sure.

RHD is over rated dude. Your car will also be like 10 times more likely to get stolen lol.

^Lol I had not thought about that.

I do want another S13 though. One I can cruise around in and one to abuse.

The top on the vert is fubar, won't line up or seal around anything properly. Lol

hows about you not chop up the vert, to hell with RHD and get an RB in your car

Because above mentioned problems with the vert. And I already have a ton of parts for the LS engine. And hp/$ its not worth getting an RB at this stage.

I had thought about missiling the vert, but once I took the top out it would be open and I dont have any place to store it indoors.

A rhd ls1 swap is a lot harder to do cause of clearance of the steering shaft and starter.

The LS swap is going in My LHD coupe. I dont think I could throw the wheel with my right and ebrake and shift with my left with any sense of urgency lol.

Here's a pic of my coupe that I have now, vert in the back.

I think you guys are right though. Passing on the RHD and focusing on what I already have.

Sell the vert as is to someone who will take care of the car.

Ive tried, nobody wants it. Like I said the top is out of sorts, the left ram is inop, one of the arms for the top is broken at the bolt hole.

Ill put it on CL again to try but im not sure ill get anything for it
