Tks for the complements, it is especially nice as I did most everything myself except paint, upholstery and welding. To answer some questions......

Dash is from the 03 AU Falcon used as a donor. (narrowed 6") Front suspension RRS struts with 13.2"discs. Rack also RRS I think they use a Holden Camira rack but not 100% sure. The combination works excellent.

IRS is Jaguar, they're fairly cheap and are well engineered. Ride/cornering improvement is noticeable. Tyre sizes F 215/50ZR17 R 225/50R17

Similar door handles are on 70's Corvettes, making the hinge system is a challenge but they just connect a rod to the stock latch.

Whats involved in RHD conversion? - the hardest part is switching the glove box and instrument panel. Its a fiddly cut'n weld job when retaining the origional dash which most owners do. The rest is moving the pedals, brake master cyl. handbrake & steering column. In Australia the professionals do the job for about 5000$aus . many owners do it themselves.
