Its a pure custom job..there is no "kit". Get a front clip...Get the firewall..Steering column..Dash..All the wiring..gatta switch the parking brake..pedals.. and i think it will be good to go..then again i never did this b4 haha

hopefully....... im not gonna do it for a while but when i do ill just make it a point to make sure that the front clip comes with all the components.

is it possible for me to put in the motor and everything in first and have the car running then when i get some more time. i can go ahead and do the RHD conversion??

You can do that..but u will have to take the engine and tranny out...you need a lot of room to work with. I would try to do it at the same time u do the SR swap kus it will be a lot easier.

yea sounds like a hell of a lot of work but seems like it would be an awesome job if done correctly

know of any step by step sites or have any of the 240 people who hover the sites done it?

id be interested in seeing how it turned out and what/ problems arose during it?

Holy crap!!!! Dominicano drifter you almost gave me a heart attack with that signature!!! HEHEH!!!!

On the topic of airbags...., when the 240 came out on 1989, airbags where just starting to become frequent on vehicles in the USA. We were lucky enough to get ABS on some models, which also was making his debut around those years.....Im not sure which year they started to come out with airbags, I think it was a couple years later......
