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?

This guy in Netherlands converted his ST205 to LHD. On Netherlands celica forum there is a build thread but most
pictures are gone since thread is older.. see his profile for a few pics.. btw hasn't been active since 02/2008 http://www.6gc.net/members/bacertune Best way to complete is by having a complete parts car.. can use a st202 for 95% of parts all st205's can be converted ..easier to do in Europe since have access to some LHD parts. -------------------- Old guy with the toys

That's soooooo much work to convert! You'd think that Toyota would've made all the chassis'/frames/bodies the same for ease of manufacturing. I guess not. Damn this really sucks. I'm in Canada and we can get JDM GT4's for fairly cheap (like the OP). I really was thinking just like the OP. Getting a junk Celica for converting a GT4. I HATE RHD! It's not the RHD so much, it's the RHD in a LHD country that I hate. Just too dangerous. You can't see ****. Man, this ruins my aspirations of wanting to get a GT4 and junk Celica for LHD conversion. Just too bad. |
