Default New Toyota Aristo owner from Europe

Hello,
My name is Erdem and I just purchased 2gen toyota aristo ( 2jz-gte )
I plan to convert it from rhd to lhd then auto to manual trans.
But since I am the only gs300/aristo owner of the country, I will need help of you.
Hopefully, project will come out good and it will be fun to share details on this forum.

Thanks to everybody and glad to be member of this community.

Welcome to CL. You have big plans my friend. You will find quite a bit of information on this site to assist you with your build.
Will you be able to get the car registered in it's current state?

Being unique is good, and keep the car original as it is.
However it will be too hard for me to drift a rhd car.

I am thinking about interior strip, getting some bucket seats, lhd dashboard, no console, no ac, no stereo.

also
I will need to order gs300 steering rack, pedals, extend harness etc...
I don't know what other parts will I need yet but time will show this.

Hope with help of you all, It will end up successfull.
