There is my MY97 WRX STi 3 wagon.
I converted it to LHD, but it was bloody hell work.

Did you ever seen any Sti wagon in LHD?

Lovely car

Just one question, though. Why's it got a set of ordinary rear lights on the left hand side?

That ordinary light is probably something for mot. He must have a rear fog light on the car due to regulations..

Left yellow/red light - I had damaged left side, and in Czech rep is no chance to obtain clear/red. Now I try to order the clear/red in japan.

Good luck with getting a replacement. I've (finally!) managed to get my hands on a set for my wagon and they weren't cheap

Conversion: will be easier, if you have correct LHD bodyshell. Also there are many parts which differs in LHD and RHD. But this is question of money for parts. Main problem is wiring loom. You must do about 300 cuttings on it and make the wirings longer (dash connector, ECU, inner fuse box etc.)

Big problem also will be with heating and clima.
