RHD Dash

So I think I'm going to go through the pain of turning my GSL into RHD. Anyone know where I can get a dash for it?(Besides in Japan ***'s) Or am I basicly stuck with Fabing it myself or fiberglassing it?

more importantly, whats about steering components? with somemods you could use a 2nd gen RHD dash. 2nd gen dashes have been used before. its everything else id be more concerned about.

also, RHD 2nd gen are probably more accessible than RHD FB/SA. id just wait and buy a whole RHD 1st gen. they hit themarket every so often. if you really wanted to swap your though, id buy a junk RHD 2nd gen and swap everything over from it. suframe as well. this will take care of steering components as well as upgrading everything at the same time. id talk to importers. theres a importer in south/mid georgia that i know could get it for you. ge got everything my friend needed to swap his 240 to RHD for REALLY cheap.

I really would prefer to do it in my first gen W/only 89,000 miles I don't think you can find many W/that few miles. But if you could hook me up with that guy's info thatd be sweet.

i think this is them:

http://stores.ebay.com/JHOT-Japanese-Auto-Parts

i understand wanting to do it to your car, but you have to understand it wont be easy or cheap. where do you think youll aquire the 1st gen parts? everything will need to be shipped from over seas. id search for a RHD first gen for sale. i have seen a few for sale for cheap that were in bad condition. swap everything from that car to yours.
