I've been threatening to do this for some time now but due to my Job it's been difficult to find time.
Finally I had a few weeks back in Australia to get stuck in.
This conversion is not for the Faint Hearted. Half way through I was thinking what the hell have I done. There were several modifications that I hadn't anticipated on but were eventually overcome.
Some parts of the conversion were impossible to do perfectly due to the internal &
external firewalls & scuttle panels being totally different shapes but after seam sealer & fitting all the parts nothing is noticable.
I tried to keep the cutting & welding to a minimum to avoid weakening any structural areas. The Authorised Department of Transport Engineer was happy with all my modifications and happily signed the approval certificate.
Hopefully the photos are helpful to anyone who want's to undertake this conversion in the future.
For the record it took me 12 days to complete the bulk of the conversion. All I'm left to complete is to fit a RHD wiring loom & then reassemble the Interior. probably 2 days work.
First I had to totally strip the interior & under hood.
