It is coming soon! I promise. I’ve been receiving a few comments and emails about the lack of updates on my build and believe me I know how you all feel. It’s burning me that I have no updates on my car to post but I want you to all know there are things going on behind the scenes.
First of all of the body work I posted about a few months back came at a cost. My builders did the work and the bill was handed to me once they had completed it all. This was a sum of just over $AUD10,000 so you can understand that I’ve been working my butt off trying to pay that off.
Good news is that will all be paid by the end of May! Hurray! So now I’m just waiting on the latest schedule from my builder to see where we go from there. I’m assuming it will be prepping for paint, interior or the RHD conversion.
So apologies for my lack of project updates, it takes time to raise 10k without bank loans (Not a fan of taking out too many loans). But I assure you when we get this bill out of the way and get stuck into it again the updates will be coming thick and fast!
If you can’t wait that long, as always I’m happy to take donations haha.
So hang in there guys, I’m feeling it as much as you are.
Cam,
did you hear that RRS will bring in right hand drive firewall, dash and cowl supplied by dynacorn in the next few months
Justin
I just recieved a quote from RRS about a Right Hand Drive bodyshell. For the shell on its own it’s $AU32,600 and for an additional $AU9,900 you get a build kit that includes front guards, bumper bars, bonnet, grille etc etc. All up $AU 42,500. All the details are on the RRS website.
Hey there,
She will get there eventually…..
Are you going with a RHD conversion?
have you got any details you can forward me about it?
Thanks,
Johnny
Yes got that also, however then i asked about just the metal to change a original over and Angela said it’s coming. may make a right hand drive conversion a lot easier then making and modifying everything yourself. A Uncle just did a 66 vert and lot’s of messing around, and we all know 66 dash would be easier then a 67 onwards.
Just thoughts out loud,
Justin
Hey Justin, nah i didn’t hear that. I might shoot Angela an email and get some more details, but i think you got all the details. It would be a good option but i’m just wondering on price. Currently the RHD conversion, done properly is going to cost me a bit over 4k. I’ll see if i can get a price on this RRS version. IT would save a lot of time that’s for sure.
Daniel – Thanks for the update on the kits. They certainly provide an affordable option for those people who don’t wish to source an original. Myself, im happy i have an original, with original Ford VIN hehe.
Hey Johnny,
Yeah mate going with RHD. What exactly did you want me to forward on? a lot if not everything about my car is posted on this site.
Anyway post back and I’ll try answer your questions as best i can.
Thanks
Cam
why are you bothering with RHD?
Hey Tony,
Doing RHD for personal preference. I’m not worried at all on resale value of the car because I don’t intend on selling it. I want to be comfortable on the streets of Sydney.
That’s it really. Id rather go through the hard yards now than later not enjoying it as LHD.
Thanks for stopping by
Cam
