Corolla 1996 Left Hand Conversion to RHD

[salouu]

Hello everyone,hope you all will be fine.
I have Corolla 1996 American Left Hand ,port auctioned 2020,such a good looking genuine car
I want to convert it to RHD,which things will be needed for conversion,aur Khrcha kitna ayega iss pe?

Dashboard,steering rack and the wiring harness mess,also the ac system would need modification since evaporator location would change.You would also need to modify firewall , have seen through the conversion process while i was in gulf, some were done neatly and some were ruined. my opinion is not to opt for it,the originality of the car would be ruined.

Drive it like it is. 2/3 mahine mein aadat ho jaye gi.
Don't convert it to RHD.
There are many left hand drive trucks such as Toyota Tundra, Seqouia being driven in Pakistan. I would advice to not do this. You will get used to left hand after some time.
Just my opinion

Okay dear,so i will keep like this,Thankyou so much for your kind opinion​ ,

[salouu]

Yes dear @faakhir19 well said​ Thankyou so much for your lovely opinion​

[consigliori]

@xulfiqar would love to read your opinion. Is it doable? Would it be like factory original specs?

[salouu]

Okay dear

@salouu MASHALLAH beautiful ride.

It will never be like factory finish. AC heater dashboard steering, gear shift, wiring and everything in between would need to be swapped. These parts are although same but are in mirrored orientation in LHD/RHD cars. Not to mention that firewall needs to be cut accordingly.

Best to leave it as it is as advised above.

Ok dear,as this will a headache for me to convert, so i will leave it as it is, thankyou for your opinion.

JazakAllah brother​

Actually I tried this once. I planned to import a Fortuner which is in my use in KSA and convert it from LHD TO RHD but it was a big khawaari. I cancelled the plan

[salouu]

you know LHD cars are much advanced than RHD ,they have many functions + safety.
Yes it is a BIG Khwari in conversion,which model fortuner do you have in KSA?

[faakhir19]

2012 Fortuner. The 4000cc variant

[faakhir19]

Planned the import in 2015/16 but then cancelled the plan

[salouu]

It will be a beast with 1GR-FE​

[salouu]

Good you cancelled brother​

I second you Zarrar Bhai, extremely neat and clean corolla. Lucky enough @salouu Bhai to have hands on this precious ride. Don't every think to convert it to RHD, will be headache for you for sure.

This vehicle looks stunning from inside out. Quality is a whole lot different even for a car that is over two decades old. It was a good Idea to import and I am curious how much it ended up costing you if you are comfortable in sharing the details.

Glad to know that you won't be leaving this beauty at the hands of our butcher mechanics who will ruin its finishing.
