Default RHD TO LHD?

Hello

I would really like the FRST, but they are hard to find, to an okay price!
I've found one (A guy inhere told me about it), it costs 5000 Euro at least.
Then 'Tax' which is about £2700

UK have enough of 'em

Is it possible to make an RHD to LHD, without an GIANT operation?
Can it be done i UK, and to what price?

We have no FRST in Denmark.. Except one (Xr2i converted with an FRST engine)

if i was going to do it, i would not try to convert a rhd car to lhd. i would have one of each, and swap all necessary mecahnical parts from the rhd into the lhd shell

Default Hello

u mean... buy ex the frst in UK.. and buy a Fiesta 1.1 in Germany or Denmark, and switch it?

Is it "the same" and all that?
And friend in DK said the same.. Switching the parts over..

But what about "chassis nr" and all that?

that would be how i would do it, yes

i don't know how it would work with chassis number in DK, but over here it would not need to change just for an engine swap, which is basically all that you are talking about doing (also transmission, brakes, suspension etc, but that doesn't really matter over here). over here you can swap almost anything over and as long as you tell your insurance company of the changed items it is usually ok.
