Default 1SIKXW makes Street Fords
Just thought id let you all know my car(1SIKXW) has made it into the latest Street Fords Magazine.

http://www.streetfords.com.au/current_issue.php (if i cant post this please delete)

This was one of my goals after being diagnosed with cancer in 2006 and im proud to show the country my pride and joy after chipping away at it for so many years.

Thanks to the members of the forum for your support since the days of the old fordforums many have stuck with the project, its a pleasure to be here.

Regards
Johnny

Congratulations! I already got the magazine, and have to say your car looks awesome! It's one of the nicest XWs I've seen, and I've seen plenty of nice XW's!

Sweet looking XW. Best looking aussie muscle ever built, IMO.

Don't know what's going on with the bonnet on the ute though.

Congrats Fordy, I remember seeing your build thread from the start,

Thanks for a good thread and enjoy your car mate, its simply fantastic and different from most. I wish ill grow balls to stray from the GS or GT theme with My Second Fairmont

Well done Johnny.

I recall reading your project buoild thread a few months ago, and when I read the mag last week I thought " I know that colour and wheel combo" but to be honest didn't know your name. I haven't checked out the build thread for while (limited time to go browsing on here lately) but damn your car has turned out a treat.

You should be very very proud mate.
