Not all markets offer the same vehicles for car lovers to enjoy. The Ford Mustang right hand drive conversion needs to be done very carefully. It is a long and tedious procedure as there are five different panels that need to be removed. All of the original welding spots will need to be removed and then replaced with panels specifically made for right hand drives.

The manufacturer is planning on brining out this new design in the first half of 2015 and all of these will be made in their Flat Rock assembly plant in Michigan. The plant is 270 000 metres square and has about one thousand and seven hundred employees. Its name has changed over the years from MCC in 1972 - 1981, to Mazda Motor Manufacturing USA from 1987 - 1992, Auto Alliance International from 1992 - 2012 and is now the Ford Motor Company.

Before they even begin with the process they will explain in detail everything that they will need to do. All staff has been trained by experienced workers in this field to duplicate the unique manufactured integrity. If one gets a bad conversion it will make the car lose its look as well as bring the sale value down. It could also be dangerous to drive around.

When buying a Ford Mustang that has been changed from a LHD to a RHD there are a few important checks that should be noted. This is to ensure that the safety as well as quality of the car is still good. A road worthy car is safer for the driver and the passengers as well as all of those that are sharing the same road.

It is always better to take the car to a specialized dealer who has done the conversion then doing it oneself. It is not easy and if not done properly can decrease the value of the vehicle dramatically. Once a car has been converted there are a few things that will need to be checked so that safety and quality is correct.

The car came out on the first of April in 1970 and was considered a very good buy. It was available as a two seated with a back window that was unable to move down. This was sold for $1 879.00 and the four seat hatchback for $1 959.00, with opening back windows.

Check under the dashboard next and ensure that there are no wires hanging down and that they appear neat. If there is an electric chair do all the controls work properly and have the switches been fitted neatly and correctly. Are all of these switches on the correct side of the seat?

Once the right hand drive conversion is completed take it for a drive to ensure that the clutch feels normal and is smooth. The gear selection must be effortless with no grinding sounds. The brakes must feel smooth and the car must stop successfully, there must be no unusual feelings when stepping down on the pedal.
