Have you ever seen a Ford Mustang GT with the steering wheel on the passenger’s side? If you said no, then you’re not alone. In fact, nobody had even tried to convert a Ford Mustang into a vehicle right-handed conversion model of the iconic brand…until now.

Melbourne’s Mustang Motorsport, an Australian vehicle conversion business, took on the unenviable task of making a Mustang GT in which the steering wheel is on the “wrong side.” Other companies have considered doing this, but they tend to chicken out when the begin looking at the difficulties and complexities involved with the job.

But that didn’t stop Craig Dean of Melbourne Mustang Motorsport. Even after looking at the situation, he had four simple words to say – “it can be done.” And so it was.

Dean went on to say that his company doesn’t “make big noises or claims.” Instead, the workers just “get down to business and do it.” That’s how Dean’s company has been able to convert more than 500 regular Mustangs to right hand drive. And even though the Mustang GT was completely different, he and his employees were up for the challenge.

With the GT, the specifics of the engine and the style resemble that of a race car. That’s not so with a regular Ford Mustang. In order to convert the GT, Dean’s company needed to make or re-engineer more than 300 separate parts to be successful. That’s double the number of parts they need to fix when converting a normal Mustang. The conversion process took over six months to complete, but much of that is because Dean wanted to ensure everything was exactly the same as it would be in its original manufacturing. That is to say, of course, with the exception of the steering wheel and foot pedals.

Melbourne Mustang Motorsport has converted and worked on hundreds of Ford vehicles to meet the demands of its customers. If you live on the continent “down under,” check them out and see what exciting things they can do for your vehicle.
