It's not a easy job to do, and really it is not practical for are roads. You take the chance of crashing every time you make a left turn on are roads as you can't see pass the other vehicle that's trying to turn left on the oncoming traffic. I for one thinks its stupid to have it here.

Just buy a RHD car. It's cheaper than buying a LHD and then converting it. For instance, I've seen 1991-1995 MR2 turbo with 50,000kms go for around 6-7K. I've seen GC Impreza turbos for this price range too...

I've heard of people mounting reverse cameras to the front of their cars so they feel more confident doing a left at a light. But honestly it's not worth it to do a full RHD conversion, There was a guy in d-series.org that did it to either an EF or CRX, can't remember but basically he ripped apart then entire front of the car and IDK just a ton of work, if I can find it on d-seires I'll post the link so you can see
