Blimey... looks naked! Did you sell absolutely everything?
crazy to see the car do a full circle and end up like it would have from the factory.![]()
Great Dave, thank you.
Is the fire wall a bolt in panel?
The obvious other conclusion is of course that a different bulkhead panel would make the shell LHD......
Looks like the welded in bulkhead is an asymmetric shape underneath the sealed in panel so I reckon it'll take more than just swapping it out.
being cheeky here - how much have you made?

Hi! of course I remember you!Wow just looked all through this thread Dave and it's sad to see it just as a shell. I remember it from early on when you came to offer me your help on my red LCR with vag com. (in Coxhoe co Durham) looks like you must've enjoyed the project though. What's next?
PRATTY
Yes, but it's sealed in too - with sealant in the overlap. In the interests of science () I unbolted it and gave it a few taps but it wasn't coming easily. I got a jemmy under an edge but I was bending it, so I gave up. (Probably needs a bit of heat to loosen the sealant - though it might be intumescent
)
The charabanc look - or open top bus?

Hi! of course I remember you!
No automotive projects for a while, I have a building project in Italy.
I hear what your saying but looking at ETKA, the panel is listed LHD / RHD and I can't see other body panels that are. You could see that steering / foot levers would be accommodated through the lh side - The only reason I can think it's asymmetric is because the engine itself isn't handed ......![]()
Also remember that when the car is LHD, the pedals are still CBA so no symmetry there...
