Mer'can pickup RHD conversion

[JimO]

i had a 82 chevvy c10 it cost 6k to convert it and it was pretty basic newer ones were around 30k to do at the time

My neighbour just did a RHD conversion on his 72 mustang. This is a car that never came out RHD anywhere in the world unlike previous model and some if not all subsequent models. Cost him around $10k. The hardest things to get right were the wipers and the dash panel. The thing that took the longest to do was the wiring. It now looks like a factory car, mirror imaged almost. But it has had major improvements because of having to change the powersteering rack and subsequently changing the powersteer pump to a japper. He reckons it is so much nicer to drive now and feels very modern in comparison.

I dunno, it's only a double cab... wouldn't a triple cab be more useful?

Lol. Honda CRV would make that look easier than he did.

Good point, it has now! Was supplied from a guy in W.A. who specialises in doing, and providing the bits for, RHD conversions.
