Hey Trev,
It's good to see you back up & posting again! We'd love to do your trip - but through Australia. My wife's never been over that way - she would love it!
Looking good over there! Keep up the momentum!

Yes Moe going to convert it to right hand drive
avF100 the mustang front end I found cracks in it and we have to use a engineer over here to get a certificate for registration to drive it on the road it was his recommendation to cut it out and re-weld it as the welding was not the best and some had already started to let go so for me it was easier to just install the jag irs
Thanks sere501 was going to come back to the USA this year but don't know if I will get there more likely next year and the plan was to come up around Alaska area and have a good look around
