        As far as I know, the structure under the dash is different, albeit symmetrical. You will need a different rack and lines, as well as a dash and forward console. Mostly, though, I'd say the hard part is all of the fabrication and getting things in the right place. Finding an LHD car may be easier...

          Finding a wrecked lhd wont b a problem, but in the krap hole i live in lhd's are no longer allowed into the country. So my challenge is now to take my rhd and make it lhd, what i need to know is what exactly is needed coz i can get most of the parts from here or ebay

            You can take my LHD car and swap everything from it into yours IF you swap all your stuff into mine! Sounds like a good deal to me!
