1973 LHD to RHD Conversion

Hi All,

I know I have another active thread going here for my 1978 to 1973 backdate project, but I figured I should share this other project that's going on in my life.

For those who don't read the location on the left, I'm in Australia where we drive on the Right Side of the Road. Anyway before I get badgered with which way is the correct way, the fact is my car in RHD is a LOT easier to drive.

Anyone who looks at the various LHD to RHD conversion cars in Australia seems to get something from a good to horrible conversion. Considering that I'm fairly fussy about things, I couldn't stand driving a car and not knowing how or what quality the conversion was.

So... I'm arranging the conversion of a 1973 myself...

There isn't a great deal of information out there on this, and a lot of people told me it's not worth it etc... I don't care about if its worth it, I want a great Porsche to drive in Australia whenever I want and with ease.

So I started with a fire damaged 73 purchased in Canada and shipped to Phoenix, AZ, where Patrick Motorsport stripped it for me...



With rust in all the usual places...
