I haven't stopped improving/working on the foxbody,.... but had to show some pics of my project, cause it's spent one year on a boat, one year on a jig, three years on a rotisserie and now it's got colour
My 1st Left Hand Drive Car!

Cheers, Dan

Yes please on the pics!

Are you able to keep the car LHD? I know a couple guys (Brisbane area) on the Cougar board who indicated that they had to convert their Cat's to RHD in order to be legally driven on Aussie roads; so I was wondering if that has changed.
If so, you are extremely fortunate from the financial and time aspects!

Yes I can keep it left hand drive, but it has to stay stock.
I'm in South Australia, we have conditional rego for historic vehicles here.
You have a log book and are allowed to drive 90 days a year.
Just about every weekend
The state is looking at modified rego at present, which will be great for the modded cars

Cheers, Dan

Uhhhhhhh...... couple-three questions?

Did/has the Mustang turned blue?

Classic Auto Air?

Eliminator?

If this doesn't make any sense to you; apologies. But I just twigged to a 6 month old thread on mercurycougar.net wherein one of the regulars had been asking about replacement/upgraded air conditioning system for his '69 FB. He acted upon a recommendation to try Classic Auto Air; and just recently posted his happy results.

He also posted work-in-progress pics of his RED '69 fastback, a couple of which looked similar to pics in this particular thread - however the last picture showed it to now be a deep metallic blue.

Lastly, one of the aforementioned gentlemen from Brisbane asked if the car was still LHD - just like I'd asked you here!

After careful consideration, my mind deduced that I had been 'asleep at the switch' for toooooo long!

Doesnt make much sense to me,...
I imported this car from the states, though there was a blue right rear quarter on in the past. All fixed now though with new quarter.
Asleep at the switch too long i reckon
