[The Bronze]

just coz.

[CaMpylobacter]

you're a sicko. I love it!

definitely want one of these some day!

[KIRK]

cool I like it.

 

Leave the bumpers black

[SOHC]

I like it, Don't put a v8 in it.

[Goat]

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.

[The Bronze]

Funny, I was in buying vinyl too. 

[The Dude]

I could be keen on this for a daily, shoot me a PM of what you want for it

Exc on a 69 Merc

[Hewies]

Where abouts are you in the country? I can repair rust for a good price for old school users..

[The Bronze]

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.

Option 4: keep putting thicker oil in it? If it's burning 

[Mr Vapour]

Sell it to me cheap and I'll put your spare head on it. 

[The Bronze]

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]

Sweet. Yeah it's on the list of things needed

Which one you looking at the blue one or the white one. 

[The Bronze]

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.

[MightyJoe]

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]

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. 

[The Bronze]

Have got a Fairmont front for it somewhere. Logic would dictate putting that on in one swoop but...

[MightyJoe]

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

[The Bronze]

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. 

[MightyJoe]

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.
