I have a 40 foot container from California with 2 Splits arriving mid FEB. One is a Double Cab that I'm keeping, the other a 1959 SC in 90% condition. She is a show winner no doubt about it. Straight NO rust perfect condition.

This 1959 Single Cab has gone through some work to make it an updated daily driver. Replaced doglegs, lower nose section and the bottom of the tailgates. After repairing rust and other body imperfections the vehicle was painted. Safari Windows were installed along with welded in mounts for the updated 3 point seat belts. The floor and under carriage were coated in Por 15 for rust protection and then painted the single cab Dove Blue and White 2 tone. Repaired the wiring on the entire vehicle: Fuse box, taillights, headlights turns signals and gauges. Then a Bay Window 15 Gallon tank was added for increased driving range. A Type 1 Center Section IRS (Independent Rear Suspension) with IRS Bug Transmission and Type 2 Trailing Arms with 68-70 Rear Drums. A 70 Type 2 Front Beam with ball joints was retrofitted with 71 Disc Brakes and Wolfgang Wheel Adapters (5x112 to 5x205). Then new shocks, dampeners, brake hoses, ball joints, wheel cylinders, master cylinders, calipers, shoes and master reservoir were added. The original Stereo was repaired and is in great working condition. It’s been 4 year since this work has been done and it is still a solid running machine. Powered by a very reliable 1600cc dual port with only 1800 miles on it since rebuild. I'm happy to sell as is landed in Brisbane. Or on the road with compliance plate and roadworthy, your choice. Any questions please txt me or email.
Pick up is in Wynnum Brisbane, I'm asking $29000 all taxes and compliance, roadworthy. or $27000 as is.

No shame at all. Personally I don't mind LHD. I will only drive mine on weekends anyway. Conversion is easy, I wouldn't bother though. Keep in mind many more people drive LHD on this planet than RHD, so in years to come international buyers are going to rather LHD.

Why is it cheaper because its LHD? I would've thought more people would want LHD as they aren't as common here?

Custom doesn't come in a Box

more lefties built = more available - less $$$ - supply and demand

look at the uk market - flooded with lhd but rhd are way more desirable - thats why oz lost so many busses back in the day
