RHD to LHD or engine swap ?
Hello I'm new to this forum and I need your experties.
Conditions: For legal reasons I need to have a car with the steering wheel on the LEFT side.
I have a Green GS300 (1998) with a 2jz GE with 366k km and an Aristo that just arrived with 108k km.
Now the question is: Should I do a complete engine, under chassis, suspension diff (and entire interior since the aristo is black) etc swap from the aristo to the GS300 (that would also need some body work) or conevert the aristo to LHD since i already have the dashboard, steering column, steering rack, brakes, pedals etc?
I would prefer to keep the aristo since the car as 1/3 of the km and you can tell. I kinda now how to prolong harneses and cables. the only thing that scars me its the firewall. Has any other user done this conversion?
thank you.

Engine swap would probably be easier, and has been done a thousand times so there's lots of resources out there.
If you decide to go the LHD conversion route, the firewall should be stamped for all of the cutouts required, so you'll just have to cut out the right holes.
