Hello everyone. I live in Florida and have a RHD Touring. Currently it does not have a M42 in it, but that is about to change. I have been given the deal of a lifetime and I am getting the engine, transmission, driveshaft, ecu, 4.10 diff, a/c, all of it for $200. The engine was not my first choice, but I don't have a lot of money and the M40 that is in it is complete shit. Enough about that here are a few shots of my Touring.

It was imported to Orlando in April 2015. It was driven for a little bit and then put up on Ebay in Aug 2015 and I purchased it. It has 130k miles on it, I bought with roughly 118k on it. I drove it to Cali and had it there for about 3 months before coming back to Florida. It has power front windows and crank back windows. The sunroof is hand crank also. It has a 5 speed. I have a new hatch on the way right to replace the rusty one on it now. I also am putting a MTech replica spoiler on it at the same. I am also having a hole plugged under the hood. The car goes to the body shop tomorrow. I am having a M42 put into it in the coming months with a/c and a 4.10 diff. It is slow, rhd, no a/c, and is the most interesting car I have ever owned.

I thought I was touring RHD not produce, so it is nice rarity, and you'll leave RHD?

Yes I am keeping it RHD. It costs too much to switch. It is originally from England and it is now in America. I am waiting on putting the M42 in it. I should have it in around January.
