RHD to LHD
 
So my project sits in the corner of my garage with blown apex seal and Its time for new everything top to bottom. Engine, paint, maybe swap to LHD.. Anything can be done with time and money, I'm just wondering if anyone has done this and could tell me if its worth the hassel of doing.

i did a LHD to RHD swap... VERY time consuming, but not all that difficult.

trade your rhd shell for a lhd shell? i'm sure there are people out there who wants it. easier then cutting up your firewall

He's in Canada. Up here RHD FD's are a dime a dozen and you can't seem to give them away.

All in all, not to hard. You will need a LHD firewall, steering rack, dash, interior etc. Hope you're good at wiring :D...

Shell for Shell would be alot of money to do the price diffrence here is surprising would be the easiest though.. Sen2 I really hope you went from RHD to LHD not the other way around. If not sell me all your LHD stuff LHD firewall, steering rack, dash, interior etc....
wiring.. not my forteh hahaha

I would say it's rather expensive way to go. Few needed things to mention:

LHD front wiring loom,
LHD dash with wiring loom,
LHD steering rack,
LHD pedals,
LHD firewall,
LHD Heater, AC, all piping.
LHD instrument cluster - front panel,
LHD center bellhouse surround panel,
LHD door trims, wiring, mechanisms.

If you want to do it, my 0.02C is get another salvaged or damaged shell for parts source.

I never understood why guys wanted to go from LHD to RHD, but atleast you're trying to go the other way. I've seen it done on other cars and other than gathering up the right parts. There's wiring that needs to be extended and obviously drilling new holes into your firewall.

Thanks for all the advice guys! This Rhd buisness is stupid, its not hard to drive it at all you pick it up in a week, I'm not from overseas I like the normal way of driving! thanks for the list narukas. If any one knows of a Salvaged LHD FD forsale/trade let me know!
