RA6 front clip will bolt on. You'll also need tail lights and rear hatch. Our shop in Japan redid Mommy C's van with an RA6 update

as for offset's, for the normal fender you can go:
f:9jx19+20 r:10jx19+25

i like the good news garage aero

Do you guys have pics or mama de vera's van with the conversion??? Did she put a h22 in??? The last time I seen her van it looked like this:

I was wondering what ever happened to her van.

I dont have pics. It was shipped to Japan, and VeilSide took it to one of the Auto Salons (not tokyo) and some of the X5 shows. she gave the van to MR. Yokomaku. President of veilside, as a thank you gesture for helping RJ out a lot. The van got the Goltier kit, and I think the GOLT Dish wheels. I don't know what happened of it though. I do remember hearing that it was really famous over there, and everyone knew about that van already.
Personally i would just fill the line on the front fenders.

I was always planning to get a RA1 and convert it to RA6 and now I got a hookup to get this RA6 kit with exhaust. First of all, do you know what this kit is? I was told Garson but I do not think so...
From what I saw from previous posts... It can be done but with this kit, would the sideskirts and door panels fit perfect for the RA1 body? I am assuming I will need to modify it correct?
Swifty, you stated that the conversion can be done but if you look at the front fenders on the pillar, and rear tail light shape to detail, it does not look like a direct bolt on conversion. Also Shawns post of the body line from front fender to back is also a concern.

definitly Garson tips. I'm sure it's a Garson kit. willing to bet the sides will fit fine. the car doesn't seem to be any longer than the RA1

i don't think you will need the RA6 conversion, since it'll take too much work to make it fit
pick a nice body kit, suspension, and wheels. RA1 will still look awesome
