I was thinking the same thing. Has anyone grafted a FG front end onto a Mustang rear?

In future, if these cars share platforms and engines, how hard would it be to produce I wonder?

Then again, I don't mind the mustang as it is. Would be cheaper to engineer it for RHD and sell it here as is.

Cool Importing a Ford coupe

With regards to import rules in the UK
couldnt you just find a country in Europe with easier import rules
and then drive it home and register it
just a thought

I wish it was that easy.

Because I havent live in Oz for a year and owned it for 6 months its harder and as the car is under 10 years old it has to go through an ESVA testing procedure even if i drove it home.

The shipping part is easy but the Uk registration is alot harder now especially on RHD imports.

Holden guys are having problems getting them registered here now to.

Its simple to get left hand drive registered via the same process but quicker.

For some reason they want to make it difficult on RHD.

Even if we don't get an FG coupe, having that front end design on the FG update (FPV's?) would be awesome. It just screams "get the hell out of my way"

Looks cool BUT

I think it's been said before on the forum, but that is a pretty blatant 3-series BMW rip-off.
