Right Hand Drive Camry

How hard would it be to change my car into a right-hand drive camry. Not worrying about getting the parts to do it with because i know where i can get them, but just the actual conversion such as: installing steering wheel to other side and what all parts i need to change on my engine, transmission, and steering column etc. I am gusssing that i might need a complete new tranny from RHD camry ( i can get one and 5spd at that) but not really sure, Just wondering what you guys think.
Or maybe im a dumbass for trying it but it would be tight though

I don't think you'd have to touch the tranny. If you have stick, you can shift from the other side. You'd have to move the pedals though. Steering wheel would need something done, you'd have to get a right side drive dash and rewire a bunch of things.

relocating the brake/clutch master cylinders, throttle cable is probably longer, you'd need to chop the crap out of the firewall

change the rack and pinion, or jerry rig something

i don't think its a good idea

I just got one question, why on earth would you want to make your camry right hand drive? You'd probably be better off buying an AUS camry, probalby cost you about the same as doing all the work.
