Hi all
Have recently purchased a 64 1/2 hardtop mustang.
Have loads of ??? but I won't bombard you all with them at once.
Just wanted to get some oponions on whether or not it is worth converting the car to RHD.
Cheers

Spend the money on getting it in top condition 1st.
A good conversion is around $5k.
Do the conversion later on if you still feel the need.

Why convert? Keep it original.

Personally I'm enjoying driving it LHD, it was always my intention to get it converted but now I'm not so fussed, just interested to see what you all thought.
Would like to get the power steering done , so not sure whether to get it done now

Yep I want to keep it as original as I can, not much has been touched so far apart from the paint work by the looks of it.

Hi martay, I think you just answered your own question. If you want to keep it original leave it left hand drive. :(

Keep it LHD.

If you drive it every day, then convert it.
But as a weekender, keep it LHD

Congrats on the purchase.
Keep it LHD.  I have a LHD and a RHD and love driving both, with no real dramas with the LHD.  Save the money and spend it elsewhere on the car.
