Aside from the obvious (dash, column, pedal box, rack, headlamps), what are the differences between RHD and LHD Corsa's?

Ive heard the brake servo and battery swap places too......

Cheers peeps

battery and brake servo/resivour are in the opposite place..

on LHD the batt is where our brake servo is, and the brake servo is in the same place as where it is in a nova

What would be involved in swapping them over?

chopping a hole out in the battry tray for the servo, changing pedal's dash etc etc




then welding in a battery tray on the passenger side, turret, possible changing battery loom, so it reach's new positon of battery

Are you serious about that estate then?

I reckon the best way would be to take that car and a UK one, and swap everything from the shells over. But then, the question remains, WHY?!

Hmmm.

Thats the plan.

I can easily lay my hands on a scrapper RHD Corsa and spend a while swapping bits over.

I think it'd be a very unique project.

Put a smile on peoples faces...
