G'day Ladies and Gents

Im Ethan and pleased to meet you all (Eventually)

so a week or so ago i picked myself up an EF Falcon in Cardinal Red, 5 spd Manual, 200xxx on the clock, came with a zorst but i wish to make a few replacements :P Being a welder this should be an easy job.

Got a few plans for this car, Pacemakers, Cams, Slammed to the floor, Sound system (Already started) tint etc etc.

Previous car history is a 2000 Subaru liberty (Got rear ended and smashed another 3 cars whilst writing mine off) And an 04 3L TD Hilux 4x4 (Had a minor pringle but the insurance company wont fund my claim as we honestly didnt know you had to tell them if you had a suspended licence once before) So she's gone and now im in this EF Falcon, bought it due to a mate owning one a while back and loved it to bits till he sold it.

Im gonna head out to Fords in the park to check some of the rides out, So if you see my car there and im near it say Hi as im always keen to meet other car lovers

Many thanks

~Ethan

Hi I’m Paul, I’ve jumped from the other side of the fence and now own a Black G6E

Previous cars were a 05 Diesel Hilux which I got rid of after 3 months, hated the thing and a VZ Calais which I had for a few years. I look forward to being able to use some of the valuable wisdom and experience various members have provided and I’ll try and contribute some of my knowledge whenever I can.

Cheers, Paul

hi all my name is craig i'm 37 my ride (that I am selling) is a 1980 rs2000 2 door. The reason for selling is this car just does not suit my family of 4 kids so I need to sell it. It's a pity i am selling but I need too. Maybe a lot of you have already seen it for sale but will leave a link for you anyway.
I will be building my next project car just as soon as I finish the caravan i'm building.the next project has already started with the addition in my shed of a 351 windsor that I will be throwing efi and a couple of turbos on just need to decide what vehicle I will put it in? anyway here is a link for my ride and the one that must go. Just to let youno I have never put it on a dyno only street tuned and any more that 8psi boost it just fries tyres and brings tears to commodore drivers

Default Mondeo Question!

Hi All, New to this site, just purchased a 2009 MB Mondeo Titanium and have a question around the HMI. Is it possible to hook a reverse camera up through the HMI? Look forward to your responses.

Hi All,

I thought it was about time I posted a "hello" as I've been lurking around these forums for a while reading every else's project updates etc.
My name is Stu and I live in Melbourne. I'm a licensed aircraft engineer with Virgin Australia- hence my avatar.
My stable consists of an AUIII XR8 Herrod modified ute in liquid silver, a 1967 XR Fairmont 289 that I have owned for 17 years and a 1971 XY Fairmont 302w that I picked up a couple of years ago.
My father owns an XW ute- 302W, auto that he bought brand new back in 1970 and his current project is a 1949 ford F3 truck that he is restoring back to original condition.
My brother has had a few Fords over the years and his current (slow) project is an XR Fairmont.

One of these days I'll post up a few pics our Fords and hopefully start a thread on my XR rebuild- when I get it started!

Cheers Stu.

Hi guys a girls.... New to the ford world and new to this forum, so be kind :-)

I have a massively mixed car history as I get bored very easilly, but I am current driving a 2007 BF MKII XR6 in black. Lowered a small amount on 20" Dark Agents.

Please forgive me, but I also own a pretty shweet, slammed 1965 VW Beetle.

Anyway.... I don't really have too many plans for my my XR6 as its just my daily drive, but I still have a few ideas for it.
