It's just amazing how you can do a conversion. Everything basically from the b-pillars forward has to be reverse engineered, flipped backward and upside down.

How did you guys address the Camaro only being safety reinforced on the LHD side of the A-pillar/subframe forming? The Camaro fails the new passenger side overlap test, which would be a driver side overlap test for Oz. Prior to a year or two ago, no such test existed here, so carmakers only reinforced the area that needed it to pass crash tests.
I would not want to take a RHD converted Camaro onto a track. |

Yes, parts for the Euro Camaro can be had, only one part made the cut for us though: The Euro reverse light in the bumper.
Rear amber indicators, change the bulb and wiring, add an ECU that does the 'fast flash' feature only on the indicators (not Euro Camaro), don't need fold in mirrors to be legal here, RHD headlights, not needed, the OEM LHD pass easily. The radio tunes just fine, and the Euro SatNav is no good here either, it has European mapping, we are in Australia! But we solved that as well....not bad for a small business......Thanks for the kudos. Quote:

If you do a CAD analysis, it would come back fine, plus they have different crash testing parameters here to America.
Doesn't matter anyway, they have been crash tested here in RHD form and they pass no problem. Can't say the Mustang fared as well in RHD when first introduced here.... Quote:

Nice job on the conversion. Does GM step up and help you with the dashboards, wiring and such?

Absolutely not! They (GM) don't want to know about it. thanks for the kudos. Also try buying them new for export....not easy! We do everything in-house, plastic injection molding, dashboards, ECU modules sometimes, wiring, HVAC etc as we have since 1989 all here in Sydney. Cool huh? |

Agree. We did do GEN 3 & GEN 4 Vipers to RHD also, did an SRT10 ACR, had 750HP, he drove it on the street as well as raced it and still does, at racetracks (roundy-round). This is it: |

Dude that's wicked - great talent. I don't even want to guess what an SS would cost down there.
Really cool.

Double post here - but what is really nice is that tear down photo with the front clip off. guys like me that just have a 2SS will never see it like that - unless there's a collision repair (God forbid). It's nice to see what's going on.
Sydney's a nice place. I have an Aprilia riding buddy (we are Aprilia riders) down there and my wife and I really enjoyed it. We used to go to the Welcome Hotel in Rozelle for dinner and drinks but it's been almost 15 years now. Keep up the good work - love the production photos!

Man.... seems like it would be easier to just get everyone to start driving on the RIGHT side of the road!
