Troubles with Accelerator Cable and JDM Engine, I'm sooooooo furious right now... Options

I just got off the phone with my mechanic, and after eleven or so weeks of waiting, he finally tells me that he cannot finish my car, because the accelerator cable won't line up since the new AE101 4A-GE engine is out of a RHD car. Also, he said that my A/C and power steering won't work because they don't mount up, so he says he can't do finish car and that it's impossible to do.

So I'm wondering what everyone with a JDM engine swap has done in order to get their accelerator cable to work. My mechanic said something about since the engine is from a right hand drive car, the accelerator cable is on the wrong side, or something like that. It's obvious now that he's incompetant, at least when it comes to working on Toyotas, and I'm furious. Over the weekend I'll probably get my car towed to a shop in Seattle to get the rest of the work done, because I've put up with enough crap with my mechanic.

I'll make sure that he doesn't get a dime of my money. I've got my parents and a lawyer to back me up if necessary, so on Monday I plan to talk to my mechanic, figure out exactly what is and isn't done, and then determine where to take my car to get the remainder of the work completed.

The trouble is finding a new mechanic, because the only other shop in town that deals with import engine swaps has blown up or destroyed a few engines on some cars from the area. So what I'll probably end up doing is having the car towed up to Seattle, which is two hours and approximately 150 miles away, because there are many reputable shops in the Seattle area that should be able to finish up my swap. I'm worried that I may not be able to afford what some good shops will charge though, and if that happens, I probably won't be driving my car until next summer.
