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

"Surely" and what spend a month doing so? When is the last time you pulled two dashes apart, cut out two firewalls, weld all new HVAC brackets, wire it all back together, do a motor swap, and swap suspension. I think I saved about a month of labor and 2 bottles of asprin.

taking dash out aint hard did a few weeks back,

could you not have left it left hand drive?

anyway though looks fine to me and the weld will always be stronger than the steel plate. the door lining up like that is a creit to your measuring surely a nervy bit that must have been!

Not with the JDM front end. The steering components were all set up for right hand drive. Plus, since the dahs and everything is all still on there, he really didn't have to convert anything. Just weld it all back together, and voila, RHD.

This is definitely the best thing I've seen in a while. It's all coming along so flawlessly! Keep up the great work. I can't wait to see it after you get it all painted.
