Welcome Russ! Well it is your car so you can do what you like. Many (most?) of us have modified cars, so it's not like we're a club of purists (nothing wrong with that either).
Still, having said that.....Noooooooooooooo!! Sorry mate, I couldn't help it. Really I've also driven LHD cars in this country for over 20 years and it really is NO hassle - I like it, I agree it adds to the experience. It really would be a shame to put all that time, money, and skill into something that will lose you money, not give any benefit, and have a lot of people saying 'that's a shame' instead of 'what great work'.
OK, I'll get my coat!!
FWIW, I worked (in Ford) on the import programme of the Ford Bronco II to the UK many years ago. We used an Aussie RHD steering box, but had to work out all the suspension geometry etc, and had the backup of the Ford computer in the US to check what we did. A proper job that handles well, is safe etc etc is not an easy job.
But it is your car, your decision, still be a nice car! (just not as nice as before
)

To be honest I would save the money of doing it yourself and go to Aus to buy an American Car that has been converted when it was law to do so (it isn't anymore). Cars of this age are rapidly being converted back to LHD so start looking now. Pretty much any Mopar you see the guys owning in UK, similar people own in Aus.

Safari: Nice link thanks, what a pretty car Admittedly it looks odd with the steering wheel on the right/wrong side, but soon got used to that 
Thanks for the MoparMarket link, I'm off over there now to get some fresh abuse
Conversion shouldn't cost me a great deal as the work will all be done by my mates at the bodyshop, just materials and crap that I have to buy from other cars.
Anyway it can always be converted back!
Now to go look at nice wheels and such.
