Convert to RHD

Hey gang, my 92 FD is a RHD car and I am considering converting to LHD. Is there anyone out there who would like to convert their LHD to RHD? I am thinking that if we got together we could both accomplish our goals with a structured parts swap.

My car only has 62000 km on it with 8/10 interior parts and even better exterior bits.

Moderators feel free to move this thread if I have posted to the wrong area.

A swap of cars would make sense except for the price difference in vehicle value. In the Canadian market, a LHD car is priced 10000 higher than a RHD car. If someone in the US wanted to convert their car to a legal RHD for the coolness of it at little to no part cost, this is the type of situation I am trying to find. The person would need to have a decent condition car, as my own has less than 30,000 miles on it.

Have you considered the absolutely monstrous amount of labour this would involve? Brake and clutch lines, wiring harnesses, AC, steering - in addition to pulling and reinstalling dash components...

You could be fighting with electrical gremlins and rattles for a long time.

As mentioned, swapping cars would be easier.
