Default S2000 - > RHD to LHD ?? how??

Hello!
My name is Todor and I am from Bulgaria.
S2000 found a reasonably priced but has a right drive hand. You know what must change in the car, to left drive hand.
If possible spisak to contact me with things that need to replace with those of left-directorate.
Also interested in prices and where can I buy them.
Thanks, guys!

Wouldn't it be easier to simply find a LHD S2000 for sale?

I am sure a LHD conversion will be so expensive that you will not save any money by the time you are done.

Normally would be more easy to find a car with LHD, but if submitted by the USA in Bulgaria will have to pay duty and VAT as the price of the car.
So it works out cheaper to import from England and to pay the Directorate.
If anyone knows what should I change I will be very grateful so I can start looking for parts.
Things about which I know must be changed are:
1. Center Armrest Handbrake Console
2. Door Panel Trim L/R
3. DASHBOARD & CLUSTER
4. COLUMN SWITCH
5. Power Steering Rack and Pinion Gear

If you think of more stuff - please write

Not familiar with doing it on a S2K but on other cars, you have to cut the firewall out and weld a LHD model in (ie, cut the car in half). Engine wiring harness is usually different, sometimes the entire wiring harness (such as the dash). Brake and Clutch lines are different and have to be relocated (in some cases the MCs are different).

Like others said, buy a LHD model or just rock out the RHD and get use to it.

does anyone read the first post.. he doesnt know what he needs thats why he made this thread, and if you read again what he posted you would see that hes going to have to pay double for the car plus duties if you get one shipped from the U.S. thats already LHD so it will be cheaper but not easier to do it this way

you should email him and tell him you have everything he needs and let him know what all is going to have to go into this project to make it a reality

That swap won't be cheap, you should go to a shop to find out whether or not it will actually be worthwhile to import a RHD vehicle as opposed to a LHD one.

2000 Euro will it cost me all the parts. These are the prices of German sellers. I wanted to know and how much it will cost states to make his account of where it is advantageous to them in order.
