People ask me if I moved the steering wheel to the right side of the car myself. tag on the firewall that says "Was Manufactured by Ford Motor Company of Australia, Ltd." and "This Plate Is Affixed with the Approval of the Austrailan Motor Vehicle Certification Board" they think you faked it all, unable to believe you have a car from Australia, or that Australia ever made cars like these.
