OOoooo boy. I suggest you search. This topic comes up often unfortunatly. Most people on this forum won't have much of anything positive to say about a RHD conversion.
Search and find out why.

Ddddooooonn'''tttt ddoooo ittt..

Its meant for driving on the other side of the road. Not for US roads where people drive on the left.

Did the 180 "clip" come with the motor and tranny? You should swap those over, then sell the rhd parts to some other kid who doesn't know what they're doing... That way you can afford coils and/or LSD.

How is it that you are ambitious enough to take on a project like this, but at the same time so friggin lazy you can't even use the search engine?
