Has Ford converted to metric units?

Has Ford finally converted to the metric system? I own a 1998 EL Falcon and it has a mix of imperial and metric, which means I need A/F and metric tools to work on it, and that's obviously expensive. At least when I buy a Japanese vehicle I know I will get all metric.

The Falcon is now virtually 100 per cent metric. Ford switched over with the AU. The only A/F items are some seat and seat-belt mountings, and to change them would mean considerable expense in retesting to meet Australian Design Rules. And only qualified people with the appropriate tools should work on safety-related hardware.
