One of the really cool things you can do in Bangkok is to have an old car restored -- cheaply. If you happen to have an "overseas contract" with a corporation or embassy you may also have the benefit of shipping your car over to Thailand, and shipping it back at the end of the contract.
If the car you ship to Thailand happens to be a rusty old classic 1965 Mustang convertible, and the car you ship back is the same car but fully restored, so much the better.
I really like my friend's Mustang restoration. He used the straight six cylinder engine and four-speed manual transmission, but with a racing cylinder head and Paxton supercharger. Very nice.
A big valve, large port, aluminum racing head with a matching camshaft for the supercharger. The supercharger and 4-bbl fuel injector throttle body were removed for shipping -- a one-barrel carburetor was rigged to get the Mustang in and out of it's container. What you can't see are the hand-fabricated stainless steel headers and duel exhausts. Nice work.
The interior is all new as well. Various patch panels were butt-welded in here and there. Very good work.
New chrome bumpers and trim items, along with a new vinyl convertible top finish the rebuild.
