KLR250 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 TL;DR haha sorry man, its a couple of years worth of posts awesome project man. XF 'coons are awesome! plus awesome points x12938109 for going with a 6 + turbo, and gas omg !!!! Thanks Man appreciate the comments lol yea read page 1 and a half then skipped to the endtis wicked none the less! love the thought/preparation and giving it a go feel to the whole thing! Thanks Man, im guilty of doing the same thing on loong project threads, im more a picture person haha loving the XJ40 rear end conversion,makes me want a XF more than ever but ill stick with my cortina for now .what size mig amp wise are you/did you use to build steam pipe turbo manifolds??caught my attention as thinking along similar lines for my escort van(have a sierra 205 motor itching for boost ) Yeah cheers, The XJ40 rear end is a really nice bit of gear, not many people use them, as most people are after inboard brakes and the traditional hotrod look the original early jag IRS offers. The old school look wouldnt suit my build though, was after something a little more modern with better geometry As for my mig, I purchased a 200 amp MagMate, which BOC sell, its an invertor style mig. I was going to get the 250amp version but figured id never need that much grunt and my power points aint up to that kind of current draw anyway mad xf, how did u find this site? those 4.1' on lpg LOVE turbos Haha, Thanks man, thanks for introducing me to the site, i was going to give you a shoutout but wasnt sure weather you used the same username here, so figured id wait until you poked your head in...hope to hear from you a bit more on xfalcon to. and yeah, 250's on LPG with boost make massive torque...gotta love the old tractor motors hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLR250 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Read the entire project end to end - love the amount of work and the direction its going - just wish it was an XD wagon for max swoon-nessHow far from completed is it at the moment? Thanks bud, As for completion, I have nfi to tell you the truth, the light at the end of the tunnel seems like a pipe dream, I just need to dtop trying to incorporate things into the build and just lock down what i have and build it, when i started it was going to be just a tidy basic build, all of a sudden ive added R&P steering, IRS, airbags with cantilever rear suspension, two tone paint, and EL dash conversion....sheesh, bit of more than i can chew it seems lol, But i will get there eventually.

CaMpylobacter Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I'm down with stock colours tbh. less is more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 With Cam on this one However if you cannot face a stock colour then a "boring" colour with a swag of SHAZAM would go down a treat. Something like a chocolate/coco cola brown but with a fine metallic in it, or a couple of stock(ish) colours in a 2 tone scheme could also go down well...
