Depends on how much is there. I picked up 1803/2k from florida that had been swapped but it needs all the parts behind the dash (heater, a/c, fan) and they cost a bundle to ship over. I think that I've been told that the engine harness has to be the same year as the body harness to work but not certain on that. Its a lot of work to swap it, I do know that.

 

Well I found me a complete right handed drive clip.... Everything is in it from motor trany to iterior...

You would have to remove everything from your engine bay in your vr4, front subframe, remove dash, a/c, heater, fan, wiring, steering wheel pedals, clutch master cylinder, brake master cylinder, carpet,and windshield. Then drill out all spot welds on vr4 firewall and the same on jdm clip. Then weld jdm firewall into vr4 and install all jdm firewall stuff and subframe. Would also need jdm front door panels and jdm carpet (its different than usdm) and the body harness for he same year as the front clip. There are guys on here that have done the swap, jc for one, and can give you more tips on what you'd need. I think his screen name is jcgalnt-vr4 244. He's building a blue jdm swapped vr4. Good luck!

The other two you missed are the centre console and handbrake lever (in the us its on the left of the console, for rhd its on the right) and the FULL body loom.

Yes, it is a real 1988 Galant VR4.

Just repainted factory color due to an electrical fire a few years back.

Oops! My bad! And forgot that jc told me that misterfixit is a huge help with wiring and technical advice.
