RHD car conversion?

How hard would it be exactly to make a car right hand drive? Would you just swap the position of the steering wheel and pedals?

Theres a lot more to it, you would have to swap the firewall and a bunch of other crap. Totally not worth.

That is one huge nasty can of worms... but I saw it done in an older (2+ years ago) import mag. So it IS possible....technically....

put it this way, it would be more cost effective to buy an entire jdm front clip off a civic and changing out yours with that. if you did the process on your own, you'd prolly spend close to the dollar amount of your car used.
