ST205 RHD TO LHD, Conversion Options

[domyz]

I already have a 1994 rev 3 3sgte celica

But I would like to know if
it would be pain in the arshe to
- buy a cheap (9K$) st205 RHD
-buy a junkyard celica gt (1K$) LHD
and convert it to lhd with an used LHD celica (not mine ) ??

I think it would be an easy way to have a LHD AWD 6gen at a moderate price!

This question is because I don't know much about the LHD conversion of a car and looks like no member has done it before.
Is there any reason?

bacertune's RHD to LHD conversion pics are located here: Project Celica GT4 ST205 WRC.

the hardest part is sourcing a LHD st205 steering rack

as an alternative, a regular GT / ST rack can be used, but that also means using the whole front suspension for a GT / ST

if I was to do this in the US, that's a sacrify I can live with.

I'm actually going to try to mix my steering racks.....ST205 RHD rack with LHD ST202/AT200 tie rods and ends to fit the McPherson front suspension.


Also to Ruroniarc...you can't simply take the motor + AWD trans and drop it into the GT as the GT has no rear end for AWD. However you could take the motor and mix it with the GT trans (if MT) and drop that in but then you're stuck with FWD.


(3sgte + AWD trans + McPherson front and SS rear is what i'm hoping to setup )
