    There are a few great American vehicles that need to be converted, in order to be used in some markets. Ford Mustang right hand drive conversion has been bought about as they appear to be more popular. The left hand drive ones were planned and manufactured to be sold in the North American market. Ford is redesigning the Mustang so more of these special cars can be sold. They will be available in the United Kingdom, South Africa and Australia.

    It is always a good idea to take the car to a dealership that has had experience in converting. It will need to have a finish that will not look like it has been done in someone's back yard. At Mustang Sport they will ensure that every part of the change and the compliances will be completed to the highest of standards.

    The second generation came out in 1974 to 1978. This was a more fuel proficient car and was based on the Ford Pinto. It started out as a two door sedan but a year later added a wagon and hatchback model. In the ten years of production there were over three million sold and out produced the AMC Gremlin and Chevrolet Vega.

    The AMC Gremlin was a small two door car and was created in Canada, Mexico and the United States. It was widely liked as it was fuel sufficient and was faster than the other subcompacts of its time. It was referred to as the first American built import. This little cars production was over six hundred and seventy one million and the body style never changed.

    It is always better to take the car to a specialized dealer who has done the conversion then doing it oneself. It is not easy and if not done properly can decrease the value of the vehicle dramatically. Once a car has been converted there are a few things that will need to be checked so that safety and quality is correct.

    The speedometer should still be in kilometres per hour and if it has a duel scale is the km/h the main one. Is the spacing between the pedals sufficient and are they of a good height off the floor. Each of the pedals must be the same height. Check to see if there is a foot rest for the driver as well.

    The Chevrolet Vega was produced from 1970 to 1977 and came in a notchback, wagon and a two door hatchback. Each of these was motorized by a four cylinder engine and had a very light aluminium alloy cylinder block. Many were however recalled because of their safety, dependability as well and the engineering and sturdiness problems. Because of this General Motors and the car got bad reputations and all production halted in 1977.

    The right hand drive conversion will need to have all the electric switches for the windows transferred and they must all be fitted correctly as well as neatly. When pushed do they work smoothly with no sticking? Always check the air conditioner and ensure that the fan will work on all the speeds. Check that the airflow is good and that it is cool air coming from the outlets.
