        I don't think that you'll have too many problems parts-wise 
        except for those directly effected by where the steering column 
        is located. Those, should you need to order them can be gotten 
        from "across the pond". You will have to learn to shift with your 
        left hand rather than your right. The biggest problem you will 
        encounter will be when trying to pass slower traffic... A 
        passenger is definitely in order. If he (or she) screams when 
        you start to make your move... DON'T...
