Ok. I'm brand new to this board and would like to start off by saying hi. Now that that is done I have a question that I'm sure has been answered, I just can't seem to find it by searching. I have an 03 XB9S and have been looking at converting the front and rear to the R body style. I have found some topics concerning the tail end conversion, but have not found any thing concerning the front end. Could some one post up a link or something? I know there will be quite a bit involved in this, but am not quite sure where to start. Thanks for your time. Sorry to bother you guys with a question that I'm sure has been covered more than once.

Thanks for the links guys, thats what I was looking for. Looks like this will make a nice winter project. Doesn't look like it will be as hard as I thought. Now all I have to do is save money, hmmm but those engien mods look soooo cool......

Thanks again for the links.
