Hey Redline,
To answer your question it is possible to do this. You're going to spend serious bucks if you plan to maintain and reinforce the welded metal. In theory, you could actually make a better bond between the cabin and the clip, if don't properly.
What most people do, including Justin Beno in Wisconsin is to cut the LHD firewall, cut the RHD firewal and weld it to the LHD chassis. This is probably your best best.
Is it worth it? Well, depends if you've got the money and are ready for some serious downtime. If your car is your only means of transportation, forget about it. However, if it's your second car or you have long winters, then you might be okay. I've driven quiet a few RHD cars, it's fun, but the novelty might wear off. I was considering doing this to my S14, but decided against it, for now. If I did get a RHD S chassis car, I'd probably just try to sneak in an S15 or buy an R33 or R34 from Motorex, but that's just me.
