Yeah BUT IT WOULD BE WORTH IT... I would love to do one with a wild blown a15, painted that nice 005 Turkois color, original interior style but re-trimmed in white leather, some sexy oldschool rims... I could wright an essay on how the car would be...

The US 2 door is left drive & to do the conversion properly involves a firewall change which would be neither easy, nor cheap.
Leave it left drive & you have all the dramas that our US brothers experience with multi carb induction systems that can't be fitted due to the location of the clutch & brake master cylinders.

I never did figure out why the US gradually phased from right drive to left drive during the period between 1910 to about 1920.
[In the movie "The Great Race" with Tony Curtis, all the cars are correctly right drive]

OK, once you go over 75 lbs, then it is pallet shipping... weight is not important, it is size.

Engine or transmission is about $450 shipping cost.

Phils Rotarys gave me a $600 AUS price quote to ship 2 front fenders...The fenders are $100 each brand new...but the shipping is going to kill the deal!
Our USA dollar isn't worth much these days!!
