Does anyone know how much costs to change the steering wheel and dashboard of a Mitsubishi Pajero 2000?

I have a sport version (3 doors, automatic trans. with sequential gear shift) of a 2000 Mitsubishi Pajero GDI built in Japan, so, my steering wheel is on the rigth side. Now, I want to take it to a country where the cars have the steering wheel on the left (like American cars). How much will it approximately cost me to change my dashboard and steering wheel, plus pedals, handbrake, etc?|||First question is, Why?? There are no laws in the countries that have left hand drives that require you to change it over.


Now for your answer. Unless you find a donor car for parts, it will cost more than the car is worth.


For instance, All the pedals must be moved. That is all the break lines must be rerouted and master cylinder moved. If you have AC, the evaporator must be moved. You wiper blades and motor will have to be moved. If you have air bags, that will cost a bunch.


In some cases, if the car you have is not sold in the country you are going to, it is very possible that the dash board is not even available.
