I bought my KITT back!!! Knight Rider 2020 - 1982 Pontiac Trans Am

[@audreyseddon9749]

Your KITT is beautiful and clearly has been a labour of love. Congratulations. Looking forward to seeing the finished work.

Thankyou! It certainly is good to have him back. I can’t wait to have him fully completed parked beside Herbie and my McFly 4x4 😎

[@starrwoman1]

I was looking for info on my 1970 VW Bug when I came across your video on buying back your K.I.T.T. Being a long time Knight Rider fan, I was very happy you were able to get him back after seven years, then I found out you own Herbie too? I was hooked and subscribed. Your car is the first R.H.S. 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.. Left Twix or Right Twix cookie, just pick a side and enjoy the favor. Thanks so much for sharing. :-)

Hi Heath, loving your journey. When is the next video? Is there a place for parts in Australia, or all US based? If we want to take on a build.

[@Sandhill1988]

Nicely done but the wheels and steering wheel orientation are incorrect so the vehicle will never be screen correct unless those are corrected. Kitt was left hand drive and had turbo wheels with moon style covers. Also the doors opened conventionally not Gull wing style.

[@HeathsGarage]

All correct, if you watch the next videos in the build series you will see that the doors have been changed back, the 15” turbocast wheels have been bought and restored. As far as the RHD, I live in Australia and all my movie cars are as close to screen accurate as I can get apart from the right hand drive steering conversion for everyday practicality

[@Sandhill1988]

@@HeathsGarage okay that's great I'm glad you're restoring most of it back to the way it should be for screen accuracy but as far as everyday driveability and practicality what's practical about having a kitt car? When I look at that dashboard I feel like I'm in the Twilight zone. Don't take offense my friend it's just very weird not the fact that it's right hand drive and you're in Australia the fact that it's just opposite of what it should be.

I agree. Those doors are cool enough but if someone is going to use them, why not do a custom design / modification to a car, any car other than KITT.

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.

[@HeathsGarage]

Yeah, those doors really don’t belong on KITT. I have a set of 15” turbocast rims getting powder blasted and restored now. I also have the correct external door bump strips used on the show - KITT will be like my Herbie (as close to screen accurate as I can make him - but with more power 😎) I have a LS1 here - but still thinking I could go bigger 😏

[@1977TA]

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....

[@HeathsGarage]

Years ago when these were imported the only way to have them as daily drivers they had to be converted to right hand drive here in Australia. The same with Mustangs, Camaro’s etc Having KITT RHD in a RHD country does make things a lot easier - registration, drive throughs, parking lots etc The doors are being fixed as we speak as stated in the video, I have also just got the 15” turbocast rims back from powder blasting - so looking forward to making KITT look better than ever I also have a right hand drive Herbie and Marty McFly 4x4
