RHD to LHD convert?

Hi,
Anyone know if this is possible? Anyone that does this in the UK? Expensive?

Thanks,

David

I imagine it would be possible but to be honest there's a larger stock of LHD cars left anyway, it just wouldn't make sense!

As that old phrase goes "Never build a car you can buy"

With the likes of FleaBay and specialist left hand drive places (There's one here in Basingstoke) it's quite easy to get hold of a left hooker.

i got one of each and it looks simple apart from a few specific lhd only parts..why are you doing it, for better brakes?

HI,
No, honestly i am in the market for a golf cab, and the only one i could find was RHD. I am in Edinburgh.
Also, i have never driven a RHD, so LHD is more comfortable for me. I guess i could learn. I have to find the right golf first though
I just wanted to know if it was possible.

THanks,

David

yea i have converted about 8 of them . to buyers  abroad  from right to left .it takes me 12 hours in total . you have to make brake servo mod as well .

If you pay someone to do it it will cost you around ?1k unless you sell it on the Continent.

Say ?1500 for the car, ?500 to convert it and you will probably be left with a car worth ?1000 as no one will want it. Might cost more to insure too.

Better buying an import or getting used to RHD.
