Saltie Olds Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 I have a model of the Aoshima Corolla AE86 Levin. The car comes with only Right Hand Drive. How could I or would I go about converting the kit to have Left Hand Drive? Thank You Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randx0 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Do you have a pic of the dash ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randx0 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 For this conversion I simply made straight cuts of equal size and swapped the glove box for the dash panel this was not a think piece as the dash was pretty symmetrical . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randx0 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 (edited) That dash looks much harder but doable . Edited April 21, 2022 by randx0 Bad link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Brian Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 The red Supra dash is pretty close. You'd have to sand about 1mm off each end and probably about 2mm from the center of the windshield edge of the dash top, the 86 windshield has a little less curvature than the Supra dash. It's totally do-able and looks pretty close. And the Supra kits are cheap so buying one for just the dash doesn't feel do bad. 23 minutes ago, Saltie Olds said: Do you happen to know how well either of these dash’s will work in my AE86 Levin kit?
