why bother? what's the deal with USDM to rhd conversion? are you trying to impress 16 years old?

and then there's the engineering stand point, think of unibody as a clean sheet of paper, you fold and spot weld to form the chassis, now you cut it in half and glue another piece of paper there. not exactly good for structural integraty, not exactly good for resale and not exactly good for performance, right?

I agree it is a total waste of time and money but you wouldn't actually cut and weld.

You'd just swap the engine bay components and steering rack.

I'd be surprised if the LHD didn't have the firewall hole for the steering shaft and it would be a fairly simple mod anyway, at least compared to welding a front clip to your car.
