Save yourself the time, use the donor parts, especially if they're already from a blue HF.

Agree, Blue HF donor for original HF car is the way to go. Best chance to keep original car with the cleanest look. Use aftermarket or repaired parts on track car. You know you can get center caps for those RPF's.

Highly value your opinion my friend! I haven't tried to find center caps for the enkei's. I'm actually going to sell the "track shell" this year after I use what I need. Probably with the rpf1s but who knows.

Donor car looks pretty good, especially door and fender. With your experience I would think you have a good painter to match everything up. That will be the biggest challenge. Hood I'd get the good painters input on that one.
Nice to see the HF is as clean with fender off as rest of car. Still have not see anything close to this HF. Good painter and donor parts and should be as good as new, well almost.
I have someone locally who wants to trade his SSR's for my RPF's. Probably will go that route since the RPF's need spacers to clear wildwoods. Found non OEM RPF center caps that are good fit. Got them for the street look. Hope it all comes together for you.

Hope you took that deer out when it ran into you. It ran into a pristine car!!! Good luck with this. Looks like you got it under control.

Sure did. I asked insurance if I needed to take a pick of the dead dear...nope. there was actually two so at least they both didn't get me. It's still a little painful to think about but I'm pretty much over it. Just want this things back on the road to drive when weather gets better! The SSR trade sounds decent. I like the ride height on your car. Did you raise it a bit since I saw it? It looks great.

I did raise the height to a more acceptable street ride height. Took race shocks off and put dbl adj konis back on with different springs. Really tried converting back to street use with everything. Did have a tough time finding a OEM rear bar. Not as many around as used to be. Keeping the RPF's, guy with SSR's had trash tires and crappy paint job. Would have cost more than wanted to spend to get into them, plus already have one set. I just want to touch up paint and it's ready to go. Put an HKS exhaust on it and is a nice unit. Wanted the dual tip exit. Put in an old ECU I forgot I had, that is a Revspeed chipped with 7600 limit. So performance should be close to what it was when raced, but in street trim. Turns out I have 4 ECU's for this car. Should be a fun driver.
