RHD to LHD conversion on troopy?

[evilfij]

How challenging is this to do? There are a good number of reasonably rust free RHD 1HZ importable troopy land cruisers finally available for not a ton of money (Japan, but also Australia where $5000 aust seems to get a high miles decent one), but I have yet to find one in LHD. On a defender, the RHD to LHD conversion is very easy, but the parts do cost a considerable sum. Is the body shell at the bulkhead different? Are LHD parts reasonably available? Has anyone done it?

Thanks. I had a RHD Land Rover and did not like driving it. I suppose I will wait for a LHD one.

If you are a regular user of toll highways or drive through everythings, it can be a pain. If you want a left hand drive, look to North Africa or Europe.
