>Shawn for the SF area converted a RHD Tristar to LHD. He changed the >whole front floor section. Wiper holes were welded up; new holes >drilled. Perfectionist. I'd blank the old wiper holes. VW did this itself on many models... punch holes for both sides and blank one set... >You are also missing shifter in your list of things to change. The shifter is centrally-mounted, so it would be an easy one. With a T1 or T2 all you had to do was heat & bend the lever. Been there, done that. >Steering knuckles (aka suspension uprights.) These won't need changing... >Rightside door handle will lock w/o key. Simple enough. >Sliding door will be on the wrong side. No problem. >Headlights dip the wrong way. Easy to replace, cheap too... in fact I have spare H4s lying around in a box somewhere. >Front interior light on wrong side. There's an opening on the other side, under the headlining, ready to accept a light. >Maplight can be changed with dash. Maplight? IF it has one... >Speedo cable. Flip-flop front bench if equipped w/2 person front bench. It'll be buckets. >Power mirror & window controls and wiring if so >equipped..... An afternoon's play... >Starting to sound like too much trouble IMHO. Dunno! -- Regards Andrew
