One of the easiest ways is to look at the parts book.  It is very obvious by
running your eye down the columns which parts differ LHD / RHD.   That way you
can get some idea of the costs and source of the bits needed. The one item on
your list that jumps out is the steering column, which is not the same so you
would have to source a RHD column.  Not too hard in this country, but then you
would have to get it to SAfrica.
