Yep... unfortunatelly this model is right hand drive only... Thats why FTO is copletly unrecognizable in whole Europe... Everybody ask - What is it? and that particular thing is beautyful :wink:

That was an expensive conversion (left hand drive) in most of right hand drive cars you just need to buy parts from left hand drive model and just replace them with few slight modifications... in FTO you have to make whole dashboard from the begining for example... but... if its done you can be 100% sure that you`ll be able to sell the car for a good price. :D It will be inimitable! :smt119

There's a serious amount of work gone into that!
I have to say I like it, bar the mirror that is... what's going on there?

I wonder how much work is involved in 'swapping sides' - a lot I would guess.

I'd imagine that apart from cutting and swopping the dash items, which doesnt seem too bad, that the steering rack, cables, etc would all have to be rewired and extended. The dash stuff looks pretty symetrical in most places apart from the hood for the dials and the glove compartment, but the vents and stuff seem ok. Would be a pricey exercise, is it law in some countries to have the car the proper configuration or something? I would have thought it a lot easier to just get used to driving on the opposite than to swop everything over!

How much money do you guys think a FTO GPX left hand conversion with all the parts I am fitting might cost in the USA or Europe?
