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!

Just my two cents, it seems that the motor swap should have been done into the USDM front and then the st205 rear should have been welded to the USDM front. You had it USDM rear to JDM front. I'm just throwing this out there, since the rear has always been the issue for AWD not the front. But then again, you are trying to make it RHD too so I dunno. Just curious. Really interesting stuff.
On the side, you are right about the welding as long it is done properly. People have put two halves together before so it wouldn't be the first. I was wondering who would be gutsy enough to do this. what is up with the early aggravation in the first post? Did someone already piss you off before you posted this thread?
