Default Possible Project - Advice

Moved to the middle east a few years ago with work. Want a classic scooby turbo, eventually track ready. Not a single classic turbo exists here. All cars LHD here but found a battered 1998 1.6 auto. Rare as hens teeth. Basically would need to do a full conversion from inside out including fitting a manual transition. All parts would need to be sourced from abroad so thinking of finding a decent UK donor car and stripping all the parts off it and fitting to this shed.

Question is it feasible to do (money aside) turning a LHD auto into a LHD Manual using parts from RHD donor cars? Would want to drop a built engine in too.

Only left hand drive cars can be imported into Qatar.
