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?

I wouldn't be touching the interior, no? I would want to keep everything LHD and just swap over the powertrain and drivetrain from the RHD GT4 donar. Importantly, does the regular North American spec LHD 6gc have provisions for the rear subframe of the GT4 to fit? How about clearance for the drive shaft?
I guess my previous post was a bit confusing. I want it to be LHD (using the North American car) but bolting all the ST205 goodies to it (awd, 3sgte, etc...) Not so much a RHD to LHD conversion. But more like using a base North American LHD car, then bolting all the ST205 goodies to it. Will this work? Mainly concerned about the rear subframe though... possibly suspension mounting points. |
