    its possible but the bulkhead is differnent. So its not a straight swap. Apart from that, if you have a donor RHD car then its pretty straight forward.

    converting a car would almost certainly be easier than the pain of welding a rotten sh1tbox UK project car.

    Just leave it LHD,

    you our would need to cut out steering column mounts, accelerator pedal mount and replace them, modified bulkhead for RHD rack, mounts and cut holes for brake pedal bar,

    and my pet hate, cut scuttle panel to change wipers to RHD if you want it done right,

    its easier just to take a mate in the passenger seat when going to maccy D's
    success is only limited by a weak mind
