I would not recommend doing a "conversion." Personally I think they merely make your car inconvenient, but to each their own.

If you really want a RHD car I would buy one that came that way. It's very doable to find one in your region. If it's a bit far away, fly there and drive it back.

I've seen 4-6 over the last few months just here in the southeast. Surely if you live anywhere with a bigger scene than here you can find more than I did.

ya im sure i can find them just bought this car for a g and its super clean except it has a bad tittle because its been stolen a few times, so currently the guy that had it before me swapped a single cam into it so I want to strip it down and covert it with an h series or if I can get the front clip with motor than do a full swap before i paint it. its just something for me to test myself, not just cause i want a rhd car, just been into them and dont feel as bad cutting into this one

If you're going to do a conversion just be sure you change out the firewall and the whole front clip as well. That's about the only way I'd be comfortable driving the car.

You can just swap the firewall, and subframe if you want.

That's how a lot of people do it.
