Goat Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Oh, some oldschool sorts left a card on it the other week up in Mt Eden inviting me to join up here. Might do that. Might just do that. Hah. That was us. Were up visiting some friends and went to that vinyl shop just up from where you were parked. Came back to our car and and walked past this ute. Was like "Fuck Yes" and popped a card on it. Had not seen this thread before. Awesome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hewies Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Where abouts are you in the country? I can repair rust for a good price for old school users.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bronze Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 Option 1 - Try the head-on valve stem replacement trick where you stuff rope in the cylinder. Option 2 - Pull the head off and do the valve stems. Option 3 - Sell the thing and buy one of the other Falcon utes on the Tard at the moment.

chris r Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Option 4: keep putting thicker oil in it? If it's burning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Vapour Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Sell it to me cheap and I'll put your spare head on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bronze Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 I still have cash from the e36 and a few more dollars I saved; may chuck some bids on the XF from Dunedin that's on trademe and see how it goes. Got the fan off, so now i can rotate the crank easier so I've decided I'm doing the rope in the cylinder technique. (I also have an e36 radiator if you need it - saw something in one of your posts about wanting one. I pulled it out when I overhauled the cooling system, unsure of age or condition, worked ok when it was in, just changed it as routine. m52 auto rad.)

Mr Vapour Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Sweet. Yeah it's on the list of things needed Which one you looking at the blue one or the white one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bronze Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 did it with rope, slow, but piece of cake. would trade again. stripping off the lpg gear next. then I'm driving it onto a truck and off to a guy to do the rust. Wouldn't mind someone to do some paint on my guards and bumper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyJoe Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 i got in trouble for falconing everywhere when i bought mine, i spose cos they're not considered properly old skool, but now old threads are being dredged up. i love it. got any pics of this one Bronze?

The Bronze Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 Black plates is OS its in the fine print. No pics of recent. It's buried in dust and other stuff at the back of the shed with the front off until the guards are painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bronze Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 Have got a Fairmont front for it somewhere. Logic would dictate putting that on in one swoop but... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyJoe Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Ah well mines nasty white plates cos its an XF. i did buy an XE fairmont with some bangin' black plates but apparently you cant transfer plates like a p plate which is a massive shame. and do you mean an ltd? not many of them about anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bronze Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 fairmont. Wider headlights that are getting hard to find, narrower grill you could fudge, bonnet has matching narrow width bit too. I had an XE fairmont; the centre console was awesome for fitting a crystal decanter and two whiskey glasses. sophisticated as. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyJoe Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 ah ok. i get confused with the fairmont/ falcon differences. especially when theres the ltd thing thrown into the mix. i grew up with granadas and cortinas, the mk2 granada is quite like the xe in a few ways.
