joe im pretty sure you will have the only rhd fc around. hell for that case actually prolly the only rhd for a long ways. think about it, how often do you see a rhd car that is NOT a mail car? not that often.i think personally on the road i've seen one rhd. a 240 i think. these bad boys are rare. and the people that do it are of another kind. its some dedication to do something as such.

oh yeah, that car.. I have seen that one before, he wanted 2500.00 for it when the engine was in.. I asked him who built the engine and he said his friend did.. Its an SE car with very high miles, i asked him about the rest and well, long story short. The cars not worth the trip, plus its in california. and **** that! 
Update on the RHD project :
Got the us vins back on the rhd firewall and am not prepping the last few parts to have it all slid back togeather.. Then i am stepping back again and watching my master welder go to town on it.... Then the re-assembly begins! Pics soon

Pretty Schweet, but no more Mcdonalds drive-thru for you... (Unless you have a passenger)
I'd love to see the cops face when he walks to the wrong side of the car after being pulled over... LOL. I'd get pulled over just to see it.
Who gives a **** about the Vins? Bunch of Law Abiding Citizens on the forum. Or just wussies...
It's not illegal unless you get caught...
Looking Good.

I've wanted a RHD car since I was like 7 or 8 and saw corvette summer, RHD stingray. not a fan of the hood of that car, but I'm shure that was the **** back in the 70's. But a RHD in the states is unique, I'm shure other contrys kinda like the LHD's, or they just think were a bunch of morons and doing it wrong...
Looking good Joe. Its coming along fast.

I'll swing by friday then. I have somthing important to do tomarrow anyway. well its important to me atleast.
Joe buy the T2 engine. T2 for the FB, its an easy 250 HP. FD motors are expensive, and hard to come accross anyway. T2's are rare enough, but for 500, and suposably ran well, I'd be on it. **** if its there when I get my financial aid, I'll pick it up.

i saw you post this car for sale on CL a little while back and asked a shop* owner if I should look into buying this. However, he told me that he knew of you and that you were going to jump back into the project yourself. Best of luck and I hope it comes out better than you can imagine.
