Hey guys, I live in Germany and have had my RS for 2 years. Love it!
I have stripped the interior and have a lot of small mods, springs, brembo's, wheels, spacers, roll cage, semi slicks (all with TÜV, all done by myself).
I can't bare the thought of selling it, but I will be moving back to Australia next year.
I want to take it with me!
I like the idea of having a unique car (wasn't sold in Australia), even if this doesn't really make financial sense.
Biggest problem; it's LHD.
I plan on DIY'ing a RHD conversion. I have had the car in bit's and pieces a few times so I know my way around it...
list so far for parts required:
-Steering column+shafts
-dashboard+speedo
-wiring looms (maybe modify the current ones?)
-headlights
-seats (will just get some buckets)
-pedal mounts + footrest
-Passenger airbags
-windscreen wipers and water guard
So, I'm hoping I can get a cheap Twingo 1.2 from the Uk and basically swap out the parts... and sell the "donor" here to help cover costs. Anyone have an idea if this is doable? Or would the parts not fit with RS components?
Anyway, I look forward to any tips or comments with regards to my intentions.
