Thanx guys for the warm welcome !
My car is a long way from what you guys build here. Its just the availability and choices of performance parts you have. Yeah we can get them sent across the water but we basically triple the catalogue price. And the way the dollar is , it makes it that much tougher. So you gotta be dedicated.

(customcam, do i sense an aussie feel to your welcome !)

As for right hand drive , i do have pics of the conversion , pretty straight foward , hardest part on a 69 is the dash as its not a mirror like say a 67 or 68 dash. Everything else is swapped across, wires lengthened, mirrors , belts changed , lenses orange for blinkers, (no red flash in tail lights) etc etc.. ill post some pics for anyone who is curious.

I will travel to US in april for my first trip (parts shopping) so advice will be needed on the best bits for my hard earned aussie dollar.

Thanx again

Wade
