you need new dashboard, new steering rack. The headlights will also blind lefthand drivers.

Thats just the start of a very long list I suspect.
Someone in my Dodge Charger forum recently installed the dashboard, seats, door panels and majority of the interior appointments of a 1993 Mercury Grand Marquis into a 1969 Dodge Charger....... fairly successfully. All this to say that anything's possible.

It's doable. People do it to cars like Audi A7, Mercedes. You get them cheap from the UK for instance and then you swap over the components. It's doable much like how you can auto->manual.
