I've thought about doing a rhd swap by doing the firewall conversion (vs the half cut way). Seems safer that way. Heres a link with lots of pics, on an EG but you get the idea:

Yes it sucks going through drive thru's w/ rhd. It's cool at first, but gets annoying after the first couple months especially w/ all the questions you get asked and stares while driving.

Its not worth it if you wanna see that happen, you'd be better off just putting your money into the motor and suspension.

The amount of money and time you will do to convert an EF to RHD, you can just buy a RHD EF for under 10 grand now.

If you were doing it to an EK then I'd see the point. The newer the car the rarer it is!

I was just about to say, that's for a mail car, so they can reach the mailbox. that's not for people to just buy for the hell of it.
