Today's work:

Today I finished the wiper assembly transfer. Drilled the 323 on the right side, moved the center bracket to its RHD correct location, and fitted the whole lot on.

Also got the HVAC fresh air inlet moved over from the RHD clip to the 323, and 'patched' the hole from the old inlet with its RHD counterpart.

All of the welding on the cowl & firewall will receive a coat of OEM anti-corrosion & weatherproof sealant.

Pics:

RHS drilled & arm pivot installed

RHD center bracket welded in place

Cowl cover on

Wipers on - it fits!

HVAC fresh air inlet welded on the left side now

Hole where LHD inlet used to be:

That hole is now patched with its RHD proper part welded on

Random shot of the front subframe after 1st round of cleaning:
