FFRP headers and muffler.

If listen to the comments carefully, they are talking about the GT40's original design. I'm not expert and certainly didn't offer any info up to them, but I'd say one of their researchers dug up the design history and it's relation to England...

Looks beautiful. But re the RH swap, why didn't you just be a mensch and drive it from the left seat and SHIFT WITH YOUR RIGHT HAND like God intended you do!:lol After all, even the GT40s (save a couple of MkIIIs) had right hand shill shifting.

Great video. I love the flames coming out of the exhaust a couple of times on the video! The driver was none too gentle on the car, was he? Car looks fabulous.

Man oh man is that sweet.

I am so right handed shifting would be a whole new learning experience.

I cannot even imagine the work to convert a GT. Hats off to you:thumbsup

Thanks for sharing. I sold my Shelby GT500 to an Australian who had it converted to RHD. Congrats on the story.

Illegal - Most of Australia will not register and license it (no left hand drives allowed); it's legal in New Zealand.
