Anyone know how hard it is to convert a LHD buggy to a RHD.

its easy. im doing it on a whole car. You just have to cut a hole in the side of the tunnel to accomodate the dedal assemble, and a corresponding hole on the pan just in front of the pedals to mount your master cylinder. and a few other things like swithcing around the steering box, putting on a RHD pitman arm, and moving the colums and guages. But may I ask, why? Is it legal to have a LHD car over there?

The RTA wont pass it over pits as LHD.
They are making it realy hard to get a buggy rego'd in NSW.
even though its been rego'd in the states they class it as never being rego'd here.
So i have to go through all the bull shit for getting a brand new one rego'd
