Not worth it IMO. It would be unique though 
Bring it to Tulsa if you need any help. We'll get it taken care of in no time!

It'd be a helluva lot cheaper and easier to import one from Canada. But if you must convert yours, a body shop would be the first place to go if you don't want to do it yourself. Be prepared to spend thousands to get it done by a shop. Or go the old school VW way and cut your front end off and weld the RHD front on.

This is also gonna decrease your visibility since your going to be sitting on the wrong side and make loading/unloading people a pain in the ***.
Just swap the 1jz (and r154, if you have that) and call it a day.

Going out of your way for individuality with no functionality is usually not worth it. I would advise against doing it, but if you are adamant. Cutting the firewall and rewelding the rhd is probably your best bet.

Probably cheapest to sell everything and find a RHD somewhere - only way a project like that makes sense is if you can do it yourself or are made of $$$. GL with licensing tho.
