kaiapoi/gore same breed...

brought this to push people who annoy me

now youre talking

Open to anyone that has done the conversion before

351c into XF falcon. Because XE came out with a v8 and had the exact same brakes etc (as far as im aware) will i have to upgrade anything to get a cert apart from a driveshaft loop? No engine/trans mounts have to be modified or anything, so easy because the previous models had them factory.

Have you tried ringing Wurth to see if they do anything?

I do need a few interior/dash trim bits like the speaker surrounds etc, ill flick you a pm when i go have a proper look What did you to the the suspension? fill me in!

Yea i was considering going back to get the second set, they're cheap enough. Awww Yea mate if you could thatd be sweet, ill chuck abit extra your way so you get some in the pocket, let me know!! Yea i was considering going back to get the second set, they're cheap enough, tuesdays job!

In the glove box were $2000 worth of receipts for recent brake work/servicing etc which was nice to see. There was also the original owners manual and service book, with the original owners details and abit of its early service history , where it was purchased from etc I went to butler auto mart yesterday as somehow i stumbled upon headlight protectors on their website! The box looked like itd been sitting for 10+ years and i would not be surprised if it actually had. They have one pair left if anyone wants to grab them. It had genuine ford protectors on there originally but both were cracked, so i replaced them with these Aunger ones, same people who make the louvres. Now from front on it looks like its wearing kanye west glasses, ill try get a proper photo soon.

That Mk2 is nice! whats the asking price? I also vote +1 to leave the mk1 N/A

Easy decision then! I went to butlers and brought some headlight protectors, inside was Aungers old catalouge with louvres in it im being taunted

I did try them, nothing Ford left unfortunately, even spoke to Mr Butler himself!

Tint windows or leave them as is?

Cheers boys. Yea i know what you mean about the turbo six, i own a ba turbo and fuck its fun to drive The body being in such a good condition was defo one of the reasons i snapped it up so quickly, so many these days are just neglected and rusty as shit, or end up like the below...........

So ive just been cruising it round and using it as a daily It was good fun on crate day trying to get over bumps and shitty roads with 5 of us in it, without scraping the bottom of the towbar on everything, this is pretty much how it was sitting Im currently trying to find a 9" so i can do a proper 351c conversion on it

So i saved up and brought 4x new eagers. Sent the rims off to get blasted, then painted them satin black. Got the boys at mag n turbo to fit + balance them and roll the rear guards

After lowering i had to find some rims, couldn't find 8" tridents below one million dollars, so was on the look out for some 12 slots. A mate ended up giving me a full set of them for free and the rear ones had the centers flipped = dish So i ran it round for several weeks like this, standards on front, big dish on rear looking really bogan till i could afford eagers and to get them sand blasted.

Instead of cutting springs i did it properly and brought cobras + monroes which set me back 500 odd and gave me the same ride quality.. haha Took the hubcaps off because they didnt look dirty enough And on the R/F lower guard i fixed the only rust on the car but unfortunately couldnt find the paint code to match up some paint for it properly, even after the spray stores best attempts

So i live in kaiapoi and i needed a car to fit in with the locals. This came up for sale on trademe without photos and i couldnt get a hold of him, till one day i posted on Dirty South advertising and got linked to the sellers profile. Went to look at it the next day, brought it. Basically when i was looking for one it had to be Column/Benchy so we could pack the boys in and go for a cruise. It has been in one family for most of its life and i am the fifth registered owner. Genuine 194xxx kms!! Here it is when i first got it. Discussion Thread

One owner

Mine currently does a similar thing, standard 997, idles sweet but when you when put your foot down its starts to die + coughs etc. Once you get it up in the revs its fine, but makes it very hard to take off.

Just make sure you make a simple how to guide for me for when i slap my mk2 struts in (please)

I Finally got round to pulling the zetec out of my mondeo. AND here is the beasts first drive on the road ever on its own steam, as you can tell at the end i got a little excited. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/scVi9tyjOHY?controls=0&showinfo=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
