does anyone know about ABOUT CONVERTING A LEFT HAND DRIVE KARMANGHIA TO RIGHT HAND DRIVE FOR USE IN MY COUNTRY

Try the Ghia forum to see if anyone has done it. Finding a RHD dashboard will probably be the toughest part, as RHD models were only sold in Ireland, UK and South Africa, I think. There probably aren't too many of them left.

I drive a RHD South African Beetle in the Netherlands... and don't think of converting it to LHD! It isn't that hard to adjust... after a few hours it feels ok sitting and steering at the other side :)

why not just change the pedals and steering over and leave the dash alone it just means you'll have to crank your neck to see the guages ,it worked for me in a bus
