Doing an AWD Right Drive Swap, pictures explain it all. If you don't like my way go buy your own and build it better, then you can talk trash! Also for everyone who thinks welding two pieces of a car together is a bad idea, go lift up your back seat and see where the factory welded the two pieces of your car together before they sold it to you!












You get the idea

FM your brave..............Dont know if I have got the wrong end of the stick here, but you have taken a 2wd LHD celica...cut it up to make it into a 2wd RHD celica???? Wouldnt it have been easier just to change the bulk head?????

Also there is a huge difference between a Toyota factory weld that has been tested and some one doing a weld at home.

How are you going to make sure that it is straight? what are you going to do to make it 4wd? Can you guys not import complete shells???

Good luck, I hope it works out
