How did you manage to get a right had drive?

The same we he got all his other RHD cars I'd imagine...

loooooooong way to go. but with youre record, you'll probably have this done and selling it next month.

Didn't someone else on here do something similar to this? I hope it comes out the way you want it to.

saw this rhd car on craigslist the other day, have fun !

nice! cant wait to see more of this. These are pretty easy to get since they use to be mail vehicles.

I didn't know he did one, I'm talking about someone more recent, I can't remember who it was but his is from Australia I think.

Thanks guys..craigslist ftw..lol....trying to figure out this awd suspension stuffs...if anyone has any knowledge..please share...i heard about axles rubbing on frame?  and stuff to that nature. I m thinking going with an awd set up would allow me to camber all four corners...

Just something you might want to check out, shouldn't you run the same width wheels? Something about blowing up the center diff or something.

i dont think you wanna run staggered setup on AWD, but im not 100% sure

dang Ron your awesomeness never stops

[QUOTE=BAHC;327201]i dont think you wanna run staggered setup on AWD, but im not 100% sure[/QUOTE]



You are correct. you'll eff up your transfer case/transmission. if you haven't already...

Good times...gotta take it to the limits...i have a complete twin turbo drive train front to back to cover me...so no major worries..unless i should expect snapped drive shafts flying up through the floor pan or explosive diffs, showering pieces of shattered metal into the cabin...

rolled over 300000 last night and like an idiot missed it and shot the pic 45 miles down the road..FML..LOL..

very cool. contemplated on building one of these before i got my previa (i have subaru roots). if youre looking to sell, PM me. im looking for a daily.

and for those wondering on the RHD, in most states you will see legacy wagons as postal cars due to snowy climates. ron, watch out for rust on the chasis (im sure you know this, just sayin) as most were abused in snow and are usually high mileage. if you check ebay, theyre all retired postal vehicles.

:biggthumpup:

yeah i checked out my car..no rust..but lotta dust everywhere....its been a norcal car all its life. got it in delano....and ive had my fun with it..runs really strong and has been serviced by the us postal service all its life..
