LHD conversion?, is it possible? Options

[top_projects05]

i know i know... i'm sure you guys know what i'm thinking of trying to do already but i'm new at this and just thought i'd ask. just trying to learn more about celicas that's all.

i'm sure converting a RHD to a LHD is possible, it's just i wonder if its hard to do or if it'll cost a bunch of green paper that non of us really has to spend! is it? anyone knows how the steering works and anything about this subject? thanks.

ok ..

first off toyota will never i repeat NEVER give you letter of compliance .. I don't care iif name is bill gates still will not get one ..

mexico importing is a joke .. to cross any border canada or mexico car will have to be towed acrossed .. a lot less hassle ..

i brought my GT4 across canada / montana border in sept .. towed without issue and took only 10min ..and most of that was paperwork .which i had cleared before i even got to border .. crossing is more about money /paperwork then car ..

i thought about converting to LHD but my car is in such mint cond it would be shame to convert .. plus you lose climate control as it is made for RHD only .. i know some of the best body guys in the midwest and all know toyotas well and swapping firewall iis just to much stress to put on car .. i would not drive a car with swapped firewall no matter who did it ..

my GT4 is more of a play car anyway as i have my v6 mr2 daily driver so RHD is not a issue besides it has not been an issue for me when i drive it .. if you are a inexperienced driver then yes it will be a issue ..

now i am still working on my car and have not titled yet but i know vin swap is last option .. vin swapping is done a lot on hot rods and has been for decades but i would feel better not doing that at least not until all other avenues are used ..

i see a lot of people on here talking about stuff they have no idea about and customs has been made out to be some sort of super force you will never beat .. that is just not true just need to know how to work them and the system .

i am one of old guys on this board and i really have a GT4 so i speak from experience..

here is what it looks like on other side
