98-00 to 01-04 Front End Conversion Build & Write Up

Looking good so far.

I've got an emblem from my old '97, I'll send it to ya if u want it. Think one of the little tabs ion the back is busted off but I'm sure you could figure something out, lemme know

 

Awesome! Looking good!

 

I am interested... How much? And like one of the tabs you mean where it screws in?

Thanks!

Who would've thought these would be the most expensive pieces to my project. Oh well. Can finally complete face replace! Hopefully today

 

Finished!!!



I'll do the write up later... I am tired

 

Looks awesome man! I kinda want to do it now, but don't have the cash. Just need to paint it too much chrome

 

Haha nooo I like chrome!!
I know... out of monies though for paint... The only reason I did this was the good deal on the hood. ~$200 not too bad for the whole thing and plus some money back for my 00 parts

 

Yeah that's not bad at all! If I could get a good for cheap that was the same color, I'd probably do it, just by selling my retros I probably could finance the rest of it easy

 

Yeah you could! I sold my bull bar to fund most of it. At least I got to have the money before purchasing all of it

 

Yeah I'd have to get the money upfront and then get it back from my retros and grille

 

And yours doesn't have front end damage on one end like mine did when made it a PAIN to do the simplest thing

 

Well I hope some bracket broke and it squeaks on my bumper and it's annoying

 

No monies.. Just gimme your address and it's on the way..

Iirc the 95.5-97 emblems mounted with three little 'clips' not screws. Lemme go find it and snap a pic for ya to see if it will work with the new grill.

Edit: looks like you found an emblem! Looks good mounted up!

 

Haha oh no, this is an FJ one I got along time ago for my satoshi, It is way smaller than the housing and is held on by a single black ziptie haha

Can you please send a picture? that would be great! haha

 

Lol ok, I'll get back to ya

 

Great thank you!

 

Looks great.

Still say you went the wrong way with the era

 

Haha thanks! Maybe wrong era in the amount of work and parts... Was yours tuff?

 

Not too bad but not easy whatsoever.

Took Monte and I around 8 hrs or so. And that included several trips to the hardware store for springs and such.

 

I saw the springs. Is that how the the earlier ones are held up or was that your guy's solution to a problem?

 

It's how the 95-97 headlight housings are held in place while allowing adjustments.
