I have a Right Hand Drive Honda Accord Clip, that is, I have everything forward the Shifter Assembly.

I also have a Full Left Hand Drive Honda Accord.

Both are the same engines and transmission.
The only difference is that one has the steering wheel on the opposite side.
Im looking for someone who has done this swap or have some knowledge in the procedure in switching over the way the car drives.
I only have a little knowledge in the parts...I know that the steering rod or linkage needs to be switched...I just want to know what else needs to be.
Again, I have ALL the parts from the Right Hand Drive car...even the steering wheel, peddles, and shifter.

Not looking for plain answers like "expensive" or "too much".

Up for grabs is Thumbs and Best answer.

I have never done a swap like this but i think it is possible as far as steering you have too use the rack and steering column to which ever car your are useing as for the pedals look under the dash to see if the peadel hangers are there if they are there it should be easy move the brake master cylender and lines the throttle is easy just a cable and pedal swaping the wireing around. It could be a lot of work

I tried the other way around. but some regulations where I live now made it impossible. But why swap ?I drove for long enough with R.H.D. in Europe no problems. not only steering linkage you have to change all the bolting points since that is on the other-side. wipers. your foot control peddles, as well as their bolting linkages, or just use a training control for learning to drive, which is also poss-able for steering as well, as long as your passengers are fine with it. or use it for an instruction car and make it pay for it self

In addition to the first answer you need to do the following steps as briefed below:
Once you finish switching over the steering rod, shaft and steering wheel, etc. work on switching over the brake unit from right to left side and the air conditioning pipes from left to right side, this will require u to change the brake fluid pipes and air conditioning pipes and some cut/welding works to fit the swapped parts to their new positions.
As for the interior of the car, you will need to change the dashboard and the main wires sets, and windows, door locks electrical control switches.,
Good luck

Please give chaichi the credit for the best answer because it is unfair if you don't. He shared his intellectual right to you.
As for my humble answer, it is the part that was left out because it is the minor part but very important because without it the driver has nowhere to sit - the DRIVER'S SEAT.:)
