I actually live in Santiago, in Providencia, right next to Las Condes.
Reason for a JDM is PRICING.
USDM US$24.000 (94´ probably arround 90.000 Miles)
JDM US$ 6.000 (That´s what I paid, 60.000 Miles, upgraded & Type R)
LHD Conversion US$1500
By the way, not anyone can get a used JDM in the street, you can only under very specific rules, I accomplished them and got the car.
But under any circumstance you can drive it RHD.
That´s it. All about pricing.

In order to get the license plate (or driving permission) you MUST go through a tech inspection 10 days after you got the car, 10 days at the top. And I bought it 4 days ago, I can´t get everyting in 6 days..!!!
Anyway am looking for FD Black interior:
Black Dash (complete)
Black center console w/base
Black door covers (Complete w /handle & switches)
Any tip is welcome....
Thanks..!!!

grats on the purchase! im not fan of buying a car that i cant actually inspect, but the cost saving you mentioned is enormous and it's worth to take the risk of having some rust to clean up.

Dealer got it from an auction, but I had it from dealer.
BTW this project is getting a bit complicated in the Interior Dash side, so I´ll have to start getting interior parts before that I thought.
So anyone trying to sell complete Interior or Interior components from the front Dash /Trim / panels... I´ll take it..!!
For a 1994 FD.
Thanks..!!!

I don't know if you are planning to do a LHD conversion, but I think that is a pretty low estimate.
I would be impressed if you converted the car to LHD for less than $3000(at a shop anyways).
Even doing it yourself $1500 might be a stretch with shipping etc.
