    Help !! Converting a Dialynx Sportsquattro

    I have just bougt the car of my dreams. But unfortunally it got the steering wheel on the wrong side.
    Have anyone of you done somthing like converting a Typ 85 Audi from RHD to LHD earlier?

    I also need photos of rear of the engine room.
    Not sure what yoy call it, but it is the wall between the engine room an the dach.

    Hope somone can help me

    Thanks

    Converting to LHD shouldn't be a major issue, you will obviously need a LHD steering rack but the brake servo and master cylinder are already on the left.
    If you have a LHD one available it will make swapping parts over a lot easier, than if you tried to source all the parts seperately.

    I have a RHD ur in the shop at the moment with its engine removed I will take some images for you tomorrow so you can see the bulkhead better.

        not converted but i have lots of pics of type 85 bulkheads... will post them in a min...
        IIRC Audi and VW built the shells generic so mountings etc are there for LHD and RHD to swap over easily enough.
        any photos of your new aquisition?

        heres some of my UR empty engine bay.
        (ignore the blue paintwork, my tester of nogaro was wrong!)




        i can get more detailed ones if you like? bay is completely empty ready to have paint stripped back to bare metal....
