Ok so everyone knows i got a LHD wiring harness set from Wiring Works... its an excellent kit but how do i use it for a RHD car......
So i had this bright idea of running the harness through the right side of the car and reverse all the headlight and signal light wires from left side to right side.... interestingly it worked..... but every other wire that ran from the fuse box to all the switches on the dashboard did not quite line up and needed to be extended....
anyways below are a few photos of my attempt to wire my right hand drive car with a left hand drive wiring harness...
I drilled out an exit hole at the rear next to the battery area
then i drilled these holes at the front of the door frame
then another hole at the trunk... tried to get it to look like the hole on the left side of the car....
Cleaned up the fuse box.... all the copper soaked in coca cola for 10 minutes...
Main harness snaked in from the engine compartment and down to the battery area....
then put through the hole i made near the battery area.... then snaked towards the front along the door sill...
.... and through the two holes and straight up through the hole in the trunk....
the main harness reached the fuse box. starter wire, generator and oil pressure wire all reached their respected switches and fuses.... 
switched the right side light wires to the left side and vice versa ......
.... but the horn wires, high beam wires and ignition wires could not reach their switches... duh!!!.... all these were extended and extra earthing were put in by a proper auto electrician... which will be done at the shop where the engine is being rebuilt....
