yea, i know some one who imports, half cuts though, and its realy hard to get whole cars through you need special liscenses and ----.... the, easiest way is just to weld the front end of the half cut, ie from firewall forward to you orginal car...

you can buy the RHD conversion for like 400 and just weld in the firewall and be good to go. but if you want one that is already done get bluehatchs red hatch. a friend of mine made a RHD corolla, looks pretty sweet.

Just drive across the border and pick one up in Canada then it should make the paper work easier and less hassle with no shipping docks etc.There is tons of importers as it seams everyone and there dog is driving RHD cars and trucks here now.
