My 95 OBS in the works.
While in posession of my friend right before someone ran a red light. The accident took out the headlights, hood, bumper and bumper bar while leaving fenders and radiator support tie bar a little tweaked.
Now in my posession.Undergoing a few modifications.
List of mods on hand: In garage awaiting install.
RHD conversion, RHD guage cluster, RHD floor mats(5 piece set), EJ25 engine transmission swap, Clear front corner lamps, 97' Driver side headlamp (soon to be passenger side once RHD conversion is complete), 98 RS front grille, V4 front bumper and lightweight bumper beam, Rear spats, GC8 side skirts, GDB STi suspension( shocks and springs), '98 RS Gold rims.
Looking for a 97-98 headlight. If I can't source one then I'll design a air duct for replacement.

Here is a rough layout of the idea I have for the Air duct headlight.
Good thing I have a spare headlight lens from the previous damage. Masked off some parts of the 93-96 headlight lens and drew a few lines.

Looks like you have your work cut out for you. Your project is very original and unique, I don't think I have heard to many people doing right hand drive conversions. Very cool.

Update on progress of RHD conversion in OBS
Replaced the cracked windshield and the EJ25 engine fired up today! running on the 1.8l stock ECU. LHD harness will reach RHD designations. Only requires a few extensions to be done. Defrost, 1 Fuse box connector, A/C box controls, A/C blower and A/C temp sensor. MOMO Steering wheel replacing the stock airbagged unit. Made some 1.5 foot long jumper harnesses for the column switches since I went RHD on the column switches as well. This needing to be removed included the airbag system, a ventilation cutout for the RHD air induction box for ventilation. I Dynomat'ed the LHD existing holes. Dynomat material is used in factory so why not use it to permanently seal up the holes not ever going to be used again?
