Welcome to the MB. You will enjoy everyone here. (all cool) S. Africa, man. You gonna' build it into a rally car? That would be sick. You could hall ass down to the Cape and watch the Great Whites eat seals. :)

I wil try and get a better site for hosting.

The interior is just swapped , The engin is stil mounted the same way as lhd. Im not sure how the steering rack fits.
