I think all I will need is a new dash (sort of working on that at the moment)
and figuring out a way of using the existing rack and pinion. The rest of it
seems to look like just moving the pedal box and some modification for the
throttle pedal cable. >>

The easy one first of course. One of the guys in our club made a really nice
looking wooden dash out of a 1 X 8 or 1 X 10. He traced the shape and
instrument positions from the reverse of the stock dash. Of course you could
make it a really easy project and trace the right side of the dash, leave the
car left hand drive, and not have to make any tricky modifications or learn
to drive again.
