How hard would it be to convert our style air conditioning controls to the holden style electronic controls if I already had them?

Very. I believe the baffles in our air ducts are vacuum actuated, and with that thing they need electric motors. People have talked about it before if you search.

This has been discussed in the past, it physically won't go in the LHD console, plus as mentioned it's not compatible with our vacuum-operated HVAC system. And, even if you went to the trouble of replacing the entire HVAC box and other necessary parts, you'd end up with a system that was never designed to work in a climate that gets cold temps and is also only calibrated in Celcius.

I asked a tech expert over here and he says it is impossible to retrofit the digital AC controls on a coupe due to the electronics and the internal conversion involved. Even if you had all the parts

But seriously I've been looking for a red center console and if you are interested to sell the console trim please drop me a line.

does anyone know if the trim peices are direct swaps for us or is there and angle issue

Round and round this question goes, how often it'll show up, nobody knows.
