Hi to all newbie here.

I've had a lhd bj42 with a 3.4l 3 B engine & 5pd box sitting gathering dust in the garage for a while now , i'm finally getting round to starting a frame off restoration.
the question i keep asking myself is should i try to convert it to RHD? has anybody got any experience of doing a conversion like this, difficulty level etc.
i know i will need new bulkhead and steering bits  

Thanks

Others have cut the exisiting bulking head to do conversions as they stamp both LH and RH from the same piece . I think a few owners have done RH to LH conversions on IHMUD

Going to repair it as and when money allows. Parts are in short supply if you decide to order stuff from OZ or the US would be up for a joint order maybe
