K.I.T.T. I've seen and I think it's Awesome, in fact, it's Unique. If Knight Rider was created in Australia, would that make it wrong?, I think not, it's Still K.I.T.T. I'm going to end with this..

So glad you are getting rid of the lambo doors, would you try to get stock turbocast rims or are you gonna stick with the dish ones? Engine wise, I be its gonna be an LS1, has to be 🤔 will be an animal with an LS1 especially if you have an LSD rear end.

I'm sorry but the right-hand driver setup is throwing the whole thing off for me along with those upraising doors. That is just not KITT. Knight Rider was an American show with the steering wheel on the left side. It's unfortunate that folks living in the UK have to make such a drastic alteration. The driver is supposed to be seated behind the hood scoop. It looks so wrong seeing the driver sitting in what is the passenger seat in America. I'm glad to hear you are getting the correct wheels. The car looks nice on the outside but as soon as you open the doors....
