Some drivers when moving a vehicle from the states to other countries may have it converted to a right hand drive car. If you are trying to locate a challenger rhd conversion there are some things to consider beforehand. In the majority of countries you would not be breaking any laws by not modifying the car but it will make driving more convenient.

The work involved when modifying the controls is not a case of just moving the steering wheel and foot pedals. Air vents, rear view mirrors and various interior pieces may need to be moved to the right hand side. Some larger components such as brakes and some suspension parts may also need a slight modification or be adjusted before the car can be driven safely.

The least costly way of getting a conversion is to purchase parts kit and do the job yourself. This can be a fairly cheap way to convert a vehicle and it will be operational afterwards. You need to be mindful that the end results when using kit conversions will be fairly crude with chains, metal levers and small components exposed to the driver.

Finding a package kit is reasonably easy and there are web based suppliers that specialize in kits for Challenger cars. These kits are supplied with all of the instructions and usually a link for technical support. It should be noted that when doing the modifications yourself, it may be necessary to get extra tools to allow you to do complete the project.

The more desirable way to have conversions done is to get a car mechanic to do the work. Many reputable firms specialize in conversion work and their finished results are extremely good. The costs of hiring a professional will be higher than if you do it at home but all work will be covered by a guarantee in case any components fail.

When having conversions done by a firm, the finished results are much better than you will get from a kit. All components fitted are hidden and the vehicle will look as though it was manufactured as a right hand model. Most of the companies offer excellent aftercare and can continue to look after your vehicle after the work has been completed.

If you have done the work at home or handed the car to a technician it is imperative that all of the work is checked for safety. The modification firms will give the car back with all certificates to confirm it is road worthy. If the vehicle does not have paperwork, or the conversion has been done in your own workshop, it can be examined later by a qualified mechanic and the documents can be issued.

If you are making alterations to a car the original warranty will not be valid after modifications. Another thing to bear in mind is that future value of your Challenger may be lower and it could be difficult to sell. After having these modifications to your car you should notify your insurance company and there may be some changes to your annual premiums.
