View Full Version : lhd to rhd conversion?
How much faff would be involved in converting a Euro car into a UK car? Obviously it would still be an import etc but it would be more for driving convinience... I don't mind driving left bookers in the UK anyway but for longer term what are the costs etc

Look at minmandans sport rep thread he did it
Older cars will be easier. Newer cars there will be alot more crap to mess about with. Looms on newer cars arnt build to be pulled about and rerouted...
Bennnnn it would of course be a nova /Corsa a lol
Just checking, i know you have funny ideas....
Novas about a 20min job...

To be fair it'd be eaiser to leave it unless you want it as a daily. Or even better import form Malta where it's ths already rhd and boiling hot (rust free). Edit they're even called Novas in malta
Wouldn't be a daily, and even if it was my daily drive is about 3miles lol hmmm need to talk to insurance monkeys and go from there
Piece of piss Stu, RHD dash, colum & rack, pedal set & balance bar with master cyclinder an not much else really I would've thought.

What Nova you getting? Thought you'd never buy another so I'm quite surprised you've still got the bug, must be that cheesecake Dan gave you lol
Bulkhead needs lots of modifications!
If you opted for a pedal box conversion all you would need to do is get a uk steering rack & steering column. Chop the column brackets off and swap them over, punch a hole in the bulkhead and that would be about it?

I think you need to swop the steering bracket Pannel from a donor as it's in the wrong position on lhd to rhd going of what dan did
You'd need to reshell it when you get back
Hang on whats going on, first kev and now you!!

I'd not do it to profiteeerrrr just because it would be a laugh and a little different
Has got me thinking though that this way is the only way im going to get a decent gte shell for reasonable money
If I was to reshell my track car I'd look at getting a lhd shell. Probably keep it lhd drive though.
I'm interested in a Euro shopping trip. Maybe make a club event out of it? Few beers on the plane? Lol
