inline4 Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 to convert a rhd bluebird coupe, to a LHD coupe? Quote Link to comment
playsnmud Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Now now you leave that coupe alone it hasn't done anything to you Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 not as long as you do it in a manner so that the car is not cut up and can be converted back to stock. Use all 510 stuff and keep the bluebird dash and steering setup complete on the side. I have authority in this as I am a RHD Datsun owner :D Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 There's so many RHD car and trucks near me it's distracting. there's a '90s fairlady just a block away from me at work right now. If I look I can see it out the window. There's an importer a block from my home. Everyone's gone crazy for them. My son lost his license speeding up the highway with a TT Toyota while delivering it to a car lot up north of here. Him and some friends got this part time job driving these imports and didn't tell me. (damn) Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 so it would be like one of those cars they teach people to drive with? two steering wheels? :o wait, is that a joke? :) You keep the RHD steering setup in the garage, not in the car. One steering wheel! :o Quote Link to comment
