I know I should resist, but do anyone know if it's easy to Convert Metros to LHD? After all, I don't think that there were many produced.

I think I might have got the disease..

Anyone with a LHD Metro for sale? :)

IIRC you'll need to swap the heater blower and master cyl mounting pannels over too.

But all this sounds easy. What about steering rack?

MK1 Turbo on here should be your first port of call. Drop him a PM. He has a lefty too so could prob tell you the exact differences.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

You would need a LHD heater blower, if you want a heater.

Are LHD Metros really that rare on the continent?

Are still interested in a LHD Metro? One for sale in Denmark, but it is rather expensive http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C93304/

Breaking Metros is fun, I think we're up to 5 in 12 months now.

Only break the crappers though. As rubbish as Metros are (we have an ultra rare metro van on the road so I can mock them), don't take a good one out of service as there aren't very many left...
