Wide Body

When Greg heard that Ford were going to manufacture a right-hand-drive Mustang for the first time and that they were to be imported into South Africa, he placed his order immediately with Umgeni Ford in Durban.
Abi Van Zyl
Wide Body

It was the perfect opportunity for him to own one of these cars with minimum fuss and without having to go through the hassle of converting it to right-hand drive as would have been the procedure in the past.

The car also came with an independent rear suspension for the first time which was a major improvement. In the past the vehicles had a solid rear axle and handling was terrible, especially on customized cars with more power. He initially wanted to turn the car into a fast street car with minimal customization but eventually, he went full wide body with her and turned the car into a monster that will always be a head-turner.

The car was given to Clark & Kent in Sydney Road, Durban and they carried out the wide kit conversion. The original fenders had to be significantly cut and trimmed and welded before the new kit could be fitted. They mentioned that it was a lot of work and had to be done with care as the kit came with no installation instructions. Stainless steel button head screws were Kal-Gard coated black and used to fasten the new bodywork to the car. There is now absolutely no chance of returning the car to standard in the future. The body panels imported from the USA are from a company called Clinched.
