Wink New guy from Tasmania Australia

Hi all,
I discovered the Mustang at about 14 y.o. but never dreamed that i would own one. I have a True Blue 2002 Mustang Cobra Coupe (yes they do exist, but only in Australia). I am the second owner of the Stang, couldn't afford the new price of $89,000. It is one of about 200 that Ford Australia imported in 2001-2 and converted to right hand drive. A rare beast indeed. I purchased mine in 2007 with 86,000km on the clock, and has only done 119,000km - only just warmed up

Mods:
JLT cold Air intake
Accel performance coils
Diablosport performance tune
Custom Rocker stripe
Bullitt style fuel door

All mild mods, I know but just love the whole look and the power of the 32v 4.6 litre donk.

I love anything "Mustang" and keeping up with the latest news and developments.

Its just coming into Summer here, so mostly driving with the window down.
Ahhhh what a sound....

Welcome, sounds like a great car and would be strange to see a right hand drive Stang.

Yeah, there are a few quirky things to deal with;
The hood release is on the passenger side.
The new dash was made in America as a mirror reverse, but the lines don't quite match up with the doors.
The key hole is still in the original door (on the passenger side). Not that I've ever used it.
