yes, part of the conversion to RHD was changing the wiper arms, wiper motor/support etc to RHD units
Conversion to RHD has been quite nicely done.

Hopefully permanently to live and work... I've been offered a job restoring old Italian cars, Alfa's mostly but the odd Fiat /Lancia as well.

Congrats, Steve. It couldn't be in better hands. It looks like a US spec car that's been around the world, with Euro bumpers, and a RHD set-up. From the looks of it, I'm guessing its interior is from a Euro-spec car. Fabric seats look nice. Love the black interior, I'm slowly dying my weathered blue interior black with promising results. Did we get black interiors in the US cars?
No engine bay pics from Steve C!? I'm interested to hear your plans for the car.
Dueling build threads from experienced people like yourself and BEEK would only strengthen the forum, best wishes for that sexy thing!

Body / paint and interior trim is really good and needs no real work... engine bay doesn't present anywhere near as well.
No immediate plans to do anything to the car as I'm quite busy for the next few months going between Thailand and Australia setting up a new automotive venture in Bangkok.

Nice find and congrats on taking a significant plunge to change your life. I would do the move in stages if you can, sometimes...
A Scorpion is one of the cars I really want to acquire someday. Hopefully sooner than later.
Your particular example looks extremely nice. Love the color.

Wow congratulations on everything Steve! I was recently musing what a Montecarlo would look like in X1/9 Lime Green. Quite striking even with the metallic in it. I'm leaning towards the Porsche Crystal Green Metallic paint of the mid 1980's.
