I drove a left hooker for almost 9 months with no problems mate. Bit of a b1tch overtaking but thats all. just drop back a little farther than normal and give it the gun. :)

my mate had a converted mk3. His fuse board etc etc were all converted to the other side.
I dont think its worth converting it. Too much hastle and there is more value to a left hand Golf surely? ???

not really more value to a left hand drive golf. If it is a G60, Wolfsburg, or a rallye yes but 2 cars with the same spec just different sides drive you'll usually find left hand is cheaper here. :)
