    Some drivers, when moving their car from the United States to other countries may have it converted so that the driver controls are on the right. If you are thinking of a ford mustang right hand drive conversion there are some important things to consider before you begin. In most countries it is not illegal to drive a car with left hand controls but having it modified should make driving more convenient.

    The work involved with these conversions is fairly technical and many things will have to be changed. The main controls used to operate the vehicle will have to be moved along with some interior fittings. Some modifications will be needed to the suspension, steering and brake systems and this will take time and a fair bit of money.

    The least costly option when making changes to a vehicle is to get the parts in a kit and do the job at home. Modification kits can be found for most mustangs of all ages and they are reasonably priced. You should bear in mind that due to the low costs, the end results can be a little untidy and less attractive than a professional job.

    Sourcing kits is reasonably simple and there are a lot of web based suppliers that specialize in packages for Ford mustangs. They will be supplied with detailed fitting diagrams and a link for technical advice. You may need to buy some specialist equipment and tools to allow you to do complete the project and the kit suppliers can usually sell you these.

    A far better finish can be achieved if you give your vehicle to an engineering company and have them do the modifications. There are many firms who carry out this skilled work to a very high standard. It will always be considerably more expensive than home conversions but all modifications they have done will be of a professional standard and will be covered by a guarantee.

    Converting cars will often take quite a bit of time and it will depend on which model of Ford mustang you have. A speedy job can sometimes be done but this will cost more and some classic vehicles may need specialized work. The benefits of getting the work done by a reputable firm is that they can continue to look after your car after the modifications have been done.

    In most countries you will have to get any modification inspected and certified to comply with the law. If a company has converted your car they will issue you with all of the relevant documentation that say the car is safe to be driven on the roads. When you have done the work at home you will need to submit the car for safety inspections before you can drive it.

    When you have modified your mustang, the Ford warranty will not cover your vehicle any longer. The future value of the car may also be affected after having it converted as it will not be original. It is a legal requirement that you notify your car insurance company after any modifications as it will affect the cover that they provide and your payments may rise.
