Rhd in cali
ok from all the threads ive read through people really dont like it when other people do fire wall swaps. why I dont know but I already bought the front clip and im going to do it anyway.
please do not rag on me how its a waste of time and money
I bought a 92 eg6 front clip with black dash for 400 bucks, it has a good radiator support (this comes into play later in this thread) from my buddy carlos, he owns jshmotors.com
great guy sells all kinds of stuff and motors and trans.
anyways I have a 95 hatch dx, have a b16 swap already in it and it is currently registered, tagged and smogged. not BAR'd
my radiator support is bent to hell from a careless tow truck driver. so my radiator is being held up by tack welded brackets that are suppose to hold my ac radiator up. my hood, headlights and bumper wont line up because of this.
so I bought the rhd clip and im going to be pulling my motor and trans and complete interior out in a week or 2 to swap fire walls and then the radiator support.
now my question is how do I legally register my car as a right hand drive? I know it can be done in so cal because there is a guy in town who has a white hatch that he swapped fire walls in, but I cant get a hold of the guy to find out how he went about doing it.
my dad is a certified welder and repairs crashed vehicles for a living so we can use all of the machines at his work to make sure everything lines up perfect. does anyone by chance have any rhd threads that have lots of pics for me to look through? thanks

This was a complete front half swap:

In South Carolina though. Their vehicle laws are extremely lenient and I think he was able to keep the vehicle registered under the VIN of the original chassis.

thanks for that link it always interest me to read through other build threads to see what problems they ran into along the way. unfortunate my clip was precut and theres not much to work with, easier to swap firewalls. I have a laser line machine at my dads work but the clip isnt usable. if I had more of the body left to work with I could have approached it the way he did
