Can i switch a steering wheel?
it would cost a lot , those cars are from 60s and maybe here in Uk parts are still available, but left hand drive parts, well, Im not too sure,

it is not too difficult to drive a right hand drive on your roads once you get used to doing so.

you would also have to get cylinder head modified if it hasnt been done so it runs on unleaded fuel if it hasnt been done.

they use a 1275 cc engine, or ealier ones were only 998 cc, so dont expect miracles , oh, 4 gears also, but no syncro on first.

other than that, a fun little car, not ultra reliable though,

hope I havnt elaborated too much,

Actually, you might not have to change the steering wheel.

If the car is 25 years old (and it likely is) it can be imported and registered in most states without much hassle.

What most people end up doing to switch the steering wheel is to merge two cars together, called a 'clip' and it's expensive.
