hi,
I bought my 1982 Mustang RHD in 2008 with an Ebay auction. the transport to Germany was very easy :
- transfer by car to the next airport
- flight from Germany to Great Britain / Lodon
- rent a car ( RHD version )
- driving 200 km ( on the left side of the road ! ) to Bristol
- put the german licence plates on the Mustang
- driving back to Dover
- take a ferry to Nederland
- drinving 500 km to my city
this tour takes exactly 24,5 hours and the Mustang droves fantastic. the only thing that was out of order was the brake - booster.
here are the original prictures :
some pictures on the english road ( on left side ! ) :
and also some pictures on the ferry :
this year, I started the restauration. what I`ve done yet :
- changing the defect brake-booster into a bigger one of a 1987-1993 Mustang GT
- changing the wheels into original FORD 14" wheels with original hubcaps
- changing the original steering-wheel into a wooden-steering-wheel ( in the same color as the panel )
- changing the hood ( with the Mercury Capri RS scoop ) into an original hood with no scoop
- changing both doors into 1979 Mustang doors ( with the manual door-opener downstairs because I do not like the imitation-lether-door-trim. I like more the plastik door-trims, which was only built for the 1979 Mustangs )
- changing the inside roof panel into a newer one ( from a 1988 Mustang )
work planned :
- paint the changed hood and the 2 doors into original color " silver " or complete in " british-racing-green "
- paint the underground / under the moldings into mat-black ( same as the Mustang-III Cobras )
- changing the old shocks into adjustable KONI red shocks ( from Mustang SVO )
- changing parts of the front axle into 1987-1993 parts and install big Lincoln brakes on the front axle
- changing the original muffler into a Flowmaster muffler
- change parts of the front axle into 1987-1993 Mustang GT parts and install Lincoln Mk VII brakes at the front axle
- change the old shocks into adjustable KONI red shocks ( from Mustang SVO )
- install lowering springs
- change the original muffler into a Flowmaster-muffler
- perhaps install a Mustang LX ( 1987-1993 ) or a Mustang SVO wing ( only an idea, but I`m not sure )
- installing another wheels, but I`m not sure what kind ( I tried so much on my Mustangs, but I do not know, what I shall install on this RHD. I`ll waiting, till the other works are finished and look than ..... )
- ?????????
but I know ( 100% ), that I let the original RHD-typical parts, f.e. :
- tail-lights
- parking-lights ( front )
- mirrors
restauration is still ongoing now .....
I know, that only 1 RHD Mustang is 4-sale in UK ..... since years ( you can find this car at Ebay / UK, but the price ist too high : 7.500 engl. pounds = 12.800 $ ). I paind only ( very-very-very less than this ).
here are some pictures of the brother-car of mine ( this, was is 4-sale now ) :
