I already have a 1994 rev 3 3sgte celica
But I would like to know if it would be pain in the arshe to - buy a cheap (9K$) st205 RHD -buy a junkyard celica gt (1K$) LHD and convert it to lhd with an used LHD celica (not mine  ) ??I think it would be an easy way to have a LHD AWD 6gen at a moderate price! This question is because I don't know much about the LHD conversion of a car and looks like no member has done it before. Is there any reason?

Could someone answer in English please?
 I also wonder if it will be possible. I want to take out a GT4 engine that is RHD and put the engine to my LHD Celica. The engine itself will not be a problem as I can see, but the electronics etc.. will be a problem because it's on the wrong side? Could someone please explain if it is possible, and will it be VERY much work to get it done? -------------------- - Celica ST202 w/ JDM 3S-GE 180HP (Special LE Subaru Blue steel paint!)
