How hard was the RHD conversion? Do you still have the old wheels/tires? Quote Link to comment
thegreencar Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 WOW, TempleofSpeed, that is an amazing build. That exhaust manifold is so sweet, as are the air horns, and rally clocks. Mostly I'm impressed with how clean and organized EVERYTHING is. Quote Link to comment
templeofspeed Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Awesome build! Car looks sweet. How hard was the RHD conversion? Do you still have the old wheels/tires? The conversion was easy...just get all the RHD parts, hack a hole for the steering column and pedal box/master cylinders... The fellow I built the car for got all the RHD stuff from NZ, it was a very complete package right down to the hood release setup. The only thing missing was the hood latch that bolts to the hood (it's different than LHD...who would have thought?). I'd like to find the correct RHD turn signal switch (with pass-to-flash, the car is wired for the relay). Other than that it was really just a matter of plumbing and attaching things. I need to take some current pictures, the car has had a few more details looked after. Still have not done cavity wax or interior seam sealing, the interior was kind of rushed into place for the unveiling. By old wheels you mean the steel Mitsubishi wheels (with snow tires)? Yes I have them. Quote Link to comment

Yes I have them. I'd love my 510 to be RHD. Thanks for the info :) Those wheels/tires look sweet. I need to get some snow tires before the snow hits or I'm going to be in a world of hurt.

The car was built to compete in the LeJog historic car rally. Wow, I just went through all 460 photos and I am speechless! I am sorry to hear about your friend. It must bring some comfort to have such an amazing tribute as this dime. Quote Link to comment
