    Have you made any progress yet?

    Did you get RHD door cards as well with the swap. I know you can switch the window up/down to the other side. But what are you going to do with the electric mirror adjustment?

    you don't need the entire door card, just the removable switch panel.

    Damn... I'd love to tackle something like this eventually, although I think I'd do a RHD TDI Cabrio

    ^^^ I'd love to make my 3.5 Cabby RHD. The thought of driving on the right side with the top down sounds awesome. But I would only do it if I can source a RHD 3.5 Cabrio conversion and it won't be an easy task

    None of these RHD conversions seem to be an easy task... but the end result is pretty sick. To those haters out there, whatever... it's the OP's car. I've owned 2 RHD vehicles out of the 14 vehicles I've had (98 Subaru Legacy wagon and 76 Jeep DJ5) and they've both been fun to drive. As for the future, I'd love to do a Cabrio or TT, but realistically I'm considering picking up a Wrangler in a few years after the TDI is paid off, the only conversion there will be installing the 3rd pedal.

    I bet it won't be easy but at least the firewall is bolt on and you won't have to worry about welding. I'm currently helping my brother install a RHD Type-R front end on his DC2 Integra and it is all welding . We're taking our time with it but it is nothing but headaches. When I'm done helping him install it I bet I'll have enough confidence to look at a Mk3 RHD conversion and laugh at it's face.
