I'd be very interested to know the final $$$ invested,including the wreck and any third party labor once the project is complete.
Not so worried about your own labor as i believe it's a labor of Love...lol
Ok heres to clarify why this conversion went ahead
my brother has had his IS250 MT sports for 2 years now
it has alot of parts and various bits and pieces that i have donated and he has bought
Full ISF interior
F sports Brakes/sussy/wheels/ etc
and various other body parts
The reason for this conversion is
We want a IS350 manual. if he wanted a IS350 i could have gave him my IS350 DD which i am upgrading to a GS450H
and he loves the 2006-2008 shape more than the current shape
So...
as most of you guys would know modifying a car does not make sense at times
At this moment i think most of you guys will understand that this project is more passion and heart involved than money
Also being a manual to start off with you have all the gear thats needed (clutch pedals/Gbox/Lines etc)
and the chassis mount points are also different to the Auto vs Manual which makes it perfect for the final outcome
Also for your question Jason
fuel tanks are the same the 350 runs extra fuel lines due to the Direct port injection
If anyone wants to know more about the conversion pm me or talk to me on facebook
i just can not document the whole car conversion on here. not i have the time to write a book lol
