Some great cars! Is importing them expensive/ an issue? Are prices better than in the states? Some clean Mustangs!
I am working on that right now to send cars there. The logistics is what costs a bit.

Import duties are very low as they are not worth big money.

Send me a private message if you want to see some of the cars that are here.

Y'all have to remember that the "M" body cars are derivatives of the "F" body cars. And front clips, instrument panels, hoods and doors can be easily swapped from like bodies. (2dr to 2d, 4dr to 4dr, wagon to wagon). IIRC, several guys on this site, or another I've been to have put "M" body instrument clusters in their "F" body cars. All it takes is a couple of hand tools.

And starting in 1980, F & M bodies all used the same front fenders with just the header panels different, and only slightly so. Bumpers can be swapped as well.

Mix and match at its finest.

I have found that instrument wires can change colors from model to model and dodge chrysler plymouth. so be sure to have color codes and diagrams handy. to make sure the right colors get patched together..
