Convert RHD to LHD
Really just a curiosity, but what would be the level of effort to convert a RHD to LHD? I'm guessing cut out the steel under-dash, replace with a LHD under-dash, new LHD dash cover, pedal box, steering stuff/rack, side mirror, door panels, window wiring/switches and...
The subject in question looks very nice in the photos. (love the seats) Maybe a nice car for the UK and other RHD folks.

Don't do it. To much of a hassle considering the good LHD cars around.
By the time you buy and convert that car you could have bought a clean original LHD.

Far too great an effort, and it would take a tremendous hit on value. The RHD cars are a premium and this one should go overseas.

Anybody know this car, RHD is not a problem, if it goes back to Aust!
Worried if it has lived in UK and Canada, cold wet places, rust?
