You're gonna have to relocate everything and switch it to the other side, probably make some of your own holes, etc. Good luck with it, sounds like a big task. Are you also swapping out the motor, or are you just doing the interior?

make sure the clip has everything for the swap, sometimes the clips are missing alot of things or some parts arent worth using again. good luck with that and keep us updated

I hope it's not your only car. Conversions are more trouble than they are worth. Search out and buy a completed car unless you have a lot of time, patience, a machine shop, parts source, and a lot of extra money. NOT a recommended project.

power to you bro...... but i would never do it... i have buddies who have done it but they own shops and performed the work.... and i still told them it will not make the car perform better... If you are into looks/attention this is good for you, its nothing wrong with that.

whatever you do post pictures
