Does anyone know if the bulkheads for RHD and Lhd are the same on the corsa (same pressing etc) and if so would it be possible to convert it to lhd for moving to spain!

Why not just live with driving the car as it is abroad? Lots of people do it.

Because it's a van! and spain does not like rhd vans! Got to get around this by either putting windows in the back or converting it to lhd.
No I donīt want to sell it and buy another as the same van over there second hand is bloody expensive.

Could be the same, but then again.
Euro spec Corsa's have the servo where the battery is and the battery where the servo is.
I'm thinking during manufacture it would be to expensive to have 2 different bulkhead designs and they will be both left and right handed.

They are different. You would have nowhere to fit your brake master cylinder on a UK spec one if you converted it to LHD.

No perspex full stop! Not exactly securty proof. neither is glass i know but itīs a bit more of a deterent.
Canīt post pics as i am in Spain at the mo, but there is a combo locally that that has small windows in the back. Good for over the shoulder visability.
