Thought I'd better post up some pics of my car and how far I went with it.

1994 I bought an orange 1969 RS Camaro. After stripping it down and finding parts that were not standard, I started to wonder, 'is it a LM1?'

Turns out it is! But I don't have the original block. I wish I could track it down and turn the car back into a LHD original.

I got stacks more photos but they are prints as this was before I had a digital camera.

Was this car originally LHD? If so looks like the wiper mechanisim and panel has been converted as well, will create more work in returning back to LHD. Nice car though.

Yes, it was. It'll be my 'lotto spending spree'. The conversion on it to RHD isn't great, it tends to bump steer abit. There isn't much air ducting behind the dash & it gets really hot on the floor from the exhausts. Apart from that it is reliable and eye catching.
