if you take out your center console, and if you are tall enough, you should be able to sit in the passenger seat and stretch over to the pedals and wheels. It might be easier with an automatic though.

Seriously, it can be done, but will cost you at least 10k in labor and metal work if you dont have a RHD front clip. Even if you had the front clip, it would still cost you at least 5k in labor and you will be driving a death mobile.

If you really want to give up going to drive throughs, then just import one.

1. get a front clip including everything from dash forward.
2. note where it has been cut(usually behind widshield)
3. cut your car in the exact same place
4. WELD WELD WELD WELD WELD...

it "should" work out like that...going by logic!!!

NOOOOOO. dont do that! That would be the bad way of doing this.
I say strip the interior and make a template of your firewall. Than flip the template and start making holes. Its not that hard at all. Having a front clip would help a lot, because you would have all the brake lines and such bent right, so after that it would be a straight, bolt in deal.
