Is that a Crawford conversion, or did someone else make it RHD? Very cool! Ian McMullan in Ireland was attempting a RHD and 6 conversion, I don't know how it turned out.


NOTE**
Actually this RHD shown below has no bearing on the quote above. It is just included to relate to RHD conversions in general.

Brian Dooley of County Galway, Ireland did his and it was NOT the Crawford conversion. Here are the photos he allowed me to put on my Rennlist web page back in 2004. I will also add his comments as they were on my web page.

Additional comments relayed back in 2004 to me by Brian about his RHD conversion which by the way has a factory installed 6 in his original 4 shown in 2nd post below this post..

"Gearstick and hand throttle have been angled towards the driver"

"Heater controls moved to right - unlike Crayford Conversion, ashtray is
dummy, Yes that is a cracked windscreen!"

"Note tiny Blaupunkt Medium/Long wave radio"

"Emissions vapour filter etc are non-functioning (all blanked off
internally)- wiring loom is reversed and runs down drivers side"

"homemade dash cap"

"had to cut out relief in sill - not visible is battery cutoff just
underneath seat"

"added the water shield K&N filters + side shifter (c/w 914/4 5th gear)
this year, PO fitted hydraulic tensioner"

Another view.


Does it run as good as it looks?
IMHO, That is what all 914's should hope to look like.
What year, etc?

Thanks for sharing the photos.

She runs well and is a '73 2.0 with less than 65,000 original miles and darn near completely original. It has air conditioning installed and according to the po the original owner (I am the third) had it installed by the dealer. Could that be true? Thanks for the kind words. Next weekend we get to go to the Upper Midwest gathering.

Pretty cool. When working for the Post Office I had no problems driving right handed vehicles, but they were automatics. I don't know if I'd be able to get used to shifting with my left hand. (Insert jokes here...)

I remember seeing this car on Craiglist. It was up there for quite some time.
Other than the door, how is the rest of the car?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

its decent, it needs some love and attention, but it is still a 914. just got the clutch and brake pedal assembly and the wiper motor assembly to replace the current ones. needs interior work and re-wireing, need to get a new gas pedal and master cylinder and the rear trunk hinge on the passenger side needs to be welded or get lid lifts.

what part of shoreline do you live in? i just moved, and im now right off 15th on perkins way.

THANKS FOR THE WELCOME! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Here's my 1970 (w/'73 2.0L and side shift converted transaxle).

(IMG:http://www.funkypurse.com/FrontLeftcrop.jpg)

At least thats how it looked when I used to own it ... its not in quite as nice shape now (long story, but I bought this car several years ago and then about 3 years ago sold it to my brother ... I bought it back from him this August and he didn't take real good care of it ... worse he started attacking a couple of minor rust spots on the body, ground them down, then moved on to other projects so the front left fender has a gaping hole at the bottom and there are holes by each of the door handles now ... plus other problems in the interior, and the paint is not so shiny now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) ).

I guess the lesson is to never sell it again (especially to my brother).

It's about as tight as it can get (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Less than a finger width of clearance, but still no rubbing! It has just the right amount of negative camber in the rear to tuck 7's under pretty easily. Thanks
