Default 2002 - 2005 Thunderbird - Purchasing and Converting ??

Hi Everyone,

My boss is in love with the 2002 - 2005 Thunderbirds, he travels to the states fairly frequently for business and always rents them and desperately wants to get one Imported and converted.

Just wanted to ask the experts if they know of any importers who are able to get their hands on Thunderbirds and more imporantly convert them to Right hand drive, I know its a custom job and wont be cheap but I'd like to find out if its doable within a reasonable price range.

I thought of checking japan but it seems that even ones available there were Left hand drive so no good there would still need to convert them

Any help would be greatly appreicated in regards to putting me onto an importer who sepcialises bringing American cars in and converting them etc, most of my seraches so far have not turned up much.

Cheers

M.

maybe an unreasonable one due to taxes and the amount of time and effort to convert as well as most likely being a one-off along with any fabricated parts.

Why not contact an importer & converter of the current model Mustang? They could give you an idea of the conversion cost at least. Think they are called Mustangs Australia.
