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

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...

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

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

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

If I was to reshell my track car I'd look at getting a lhd shell. Probably keep it lhd drive though.
