The front lights are supposed to have sidings aren't they? It looks like they are missing. If a cop pulls you over let them know your situation, most cops aren't that mean and could care less.

RHD conversion doesnt add any value
whats an HKS comp?

As it looks right now you would get around 5500 to 6500 for it.

only worth decent money to someone who is looking for that kind of car. with a RHD conversion, one can never know just how well it was done... how much ghetto interior/wiring work may have been done.

So did you VIN swap it or is it a RHD CONVERSION not an import?

I personally wouldn't want to drive an RHD.. but they are fun to look at.

My personal thoughts are you have a $3500 car. The bodykit is an ebay special with marginal fitment, no name wheels with a poor offset, missing all the front lenses..

But what i think doesn't matter...

If the mileage is decent that seems like a good deal. I guess a lot of it would depend on how good the condition of the engine is.

It looks awesome though, I'd be happy with it.

I'd say it's about $4500 to $5k car. You could easily get that for resale, I believe. The wheels sure don't look right, and the kit is kinda wonky, but if you're painting it, just fix the fitment. If the motor is mechanically sound, then it should be worth that.

My pal used to have a RHD swapped 240 and he got pulled over and the cop went to the wrong window and was like "WTF." Then he asked if the car had proper registration being an import, but it was a US car. The cop was thoroughly confused as to why someone would do that.

So am I! Why would you wanna do that? But what's even more weird to me is that people wonder if it's worth more after the conversion... I'm not saying it isn't, I would just be shocked if it is...

To you, that is how much its worth. I think these threads are pointless. While taking in minimal accounts of things, cars are only worth as much as a person is willing to pay for it.
