If the price went under 10k id be seriously considering it. Would def do a RHD conversion on it though.

Many years ago my dad who is long dead converted a rambler from left to right hand drive. He was a mechanic. Anyway, something was crazy with the steering box and what he didnt realise was that when he turned left the wheels went right. the first drive he drove straight into the wall he was parked next to instead of going away from the wall. I would hate to imagine how much work would be involved in converting a staz from LHD to RHD. It would be MASSIVE !!!!

It's not to bad since you can get all the right hand drive parts. The chap that had the silver widey with the SR20DET in it had a website that showed you how to do it... Wasn't straight forward but wasn't that hard either. Bryce has a welder... he'd be sweet :D

Yeah its not actually as hard as it sounds. If/when the wife and i make it to the usa to bring back our 2 cars (widey for me and a mustang for her) il def be going ahead with this conversion.
Ive read up on the sr20 cars conversion and dont think itd be out of reach for anyone with reasonable meachanical and fabrication skills.
