Cheers guys, yeah its getting there, I have been doing a few little things in the last week to it. Just sussing the brakes out at the moment and getting all the parts slowly. The interior is going to be the biggest expense I think, the rest is pretty sweet

Discussion thread //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/33256-liams-early-bird-project-1965-xp-falcon-sedan-discuss/page__hl__falcon Hey all, I used to live in Wellington once upon a time but have been living in Melbourne for the last 6 years. (deserter I know...) Anyway here is my new project, I have been looking for a XP for awhile now and after months of searching I even found the right colour scheme cos I always wanted a blue and white XP for some reason Plans are to start tidying it up and get it closer to road worthy for my liking. It looks pretty good in the photos as you can see but there a few things not quite right with it that need to be addressed, the interior seats are worn pretty thin, the shifter handle knob is from an old kitchen utensil I think haha and there is a couple of very small rust bubbles on a couple of the doors but over all, its in great shape. I could not find any signs of filler with my trusty magnet and no signs of accident damage as well, always a bonus. It now has a 250 engine from an XA, was originally a 200 super pursuit. It has 14inch XP fairmont rims but has drum brakes on the front which I want to change out for some boosted XF discs. Probably going to put a Windsor V8 in it when funds allow. The paint is pretty thin in places, it is a bit crazed here and there, stone chips etc but I quite like it like that, its looks cool, lots of patina (extra bonus points these days for original patina right haha) Seats are getting re-trimmed though, they are pretty worn! So, plans are : Slam 5 stud conversion Stock steelies Brake upgrade Interior tidy up Windsor V8 when funds allow Cruise and annoy sensible people with loud old car. Anyway, here are the pictures, progress updates to follow soon cheers. Chur
