New guy from England.

Hi everyone,
I'm Gideon from the U.K
Avid petrolhead with a few old Cars and Bikes all pre 1962 but joining this site to help with my 1960 F100 Panel Truck.original L6 auto box
VIN F10J0R53420
Purchased in Los Angeles 8 years ago and shipped to the U.K by myself and a buddy.
I drove it for a couple of years then other projects took over.so she has been laid up for 5 years.
Well I just started getting her back on the road so may be asking a few questions soon.

Just had a thought: You might want to look into Australian RHD conversions. I know they had a lot of similar chassis in the land down under that were RHD. Here at FTE there is the "International Region" forum that has an Australian chapter.
