The LHD swap should be pretty easy, everything is all cut out for that, so you just need all the parts to swap it and it should be easy from there(well, as easy as replacing all of that stuff would be)

If you're just using it for parts the price seems a little steep to me, you would be better off just buying the parts you need. But as a whole 4400 doesn't sound bad at all.

Personally, I think trying to swap everything over to LHD is going to be quite a bit of work. Are you planning to use interior pieces from a US/Canadian LHD car?

OP, listen to him over me, I'm just going off what I've been told. It's a lot easier to do on these cars than most, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's easy

Ok, I just was checking. Without a donor car to swap interior, it would be rather difficult/impossible to make the RHD stuff be LHD.

You may also need to swap electrical/wiring, but then you may run into issues with differences between the US & JDM electrical harnesses. There's just a lot of stuff to try and take care of for the swap.

Damn if only you could drive it legally that is a sweet wagon. I'd buy if I had the cash.
