After seeing the interior pics I was half expecting to see the intake facing the wrong way in the engine pics.

Nice cars by the way

I remember seeing Dick Johnsons Green Mustang in Adelaide for the first F1 grand prix.
That thing hauled arse off the line like a scalded cat!

All right hand drive cars have the standard 5 speed shift pattern. I would never be able drive one right. lol

Its definitely odd! Wife and I were over there and rented some little toyota 5 spd last summer. I about screwed up something aweful with driving on the wrong side when I first took off! You get used to it rather quickly though... Youd be surprised.

i was in the island of cyprus 8 years ago on vacation and rented a moped because i didn't want to drive and i found it hard to get used to driving on the wrong side of the road.i think if i was in a car it would have been worse and the biggest problem for me was when it came time to make a turn very confusing.

Its interesting, we learn to call right hand drive the "wrong" side, but its just different. Who decided its them, and not us, on the wrong side? Nice batch of cars, welcome! I wanna drive a trailer-train, where do I get an application?

Been clocking up a few miles on the car as of late.
That is until the clutch cable broke, along with the quadrant
I've ordered the gear to fix just waiting on the post.

Came across an 87 coupe done up like a saleen in a country shed the other week I think he jinxed me when he asked if my clutch was still hanging in there.

OK,... question time.
My oldies are doing route 66 and a few other car things in October/November, and are able to swing by Rancho Cucamonga, CA.
Now that's where Kenne Bell is right?
I was wondering if I can buy from them or do you guys buy Kenne Bell kits from speed shops?
Also, what would be the best buy for the Fox?

Cheers,
Dan

Oi mate, welcome back from....Australia 2008. Most people buy the Kenne Bell kit and install it themselves or at the local shop. You'd have to check the Kenne Bell website to see if they do installs as well. I'm sure you might fancy a go at it.

Yeah I'll be doing the install back here in Australia, probably with a few mods Im sure.
What kit you think will be best suited for fun weekend/strip car?

Cheers Dan
