Hello Henri

Pics are fairly easy to put up on the site. Would love to see how far you have gotten with it. Perhaps you could start a project thread in the Project section

You will find a User guide on how to do things on the forums, Start a thread, post pics etc on this thread:

Picture of my stock coupe, had slight accident with a tree last week.
Had the car for 21 years, now I guess its motivated me to fix it and get it on the road.

Hi all,

Joined a while back but finally decided to come out from under my rock!! I'm a Ford/FPV fan hardout but not such a petrol head if that makes sense so lookinh forward to as much advice as possible from all the experts. I have a 2008 Ego colour FG GT-E, custom tuned with a cold air intake at Blue Power in 2010 (hi boys!). I have just signed a contract to upgrade to the 2011 FG GT-P and was only going to get $30k/$45k finance (77,000 kms) for my trade so palming it off to a mate who is a gay holden lover (BUT loves my baby), to pay it off while I get my 335kw dream under way. Will see what the boys at Blue Power can do for me again!! Also have an XB GT replica in the shop that has had the engine redone- hoping for some serious power outta that! So thats me- hope to chat with the experts on some top quality advice! Cheers boys!

Hi everyone
Been browsing the forum for a while, thought I'd say hi
I have a 95 v8 Ef Fairmont, having the usual tranny problems but with a twist. It's stuck in 1st gear, took it to the transmission specialist here and his scan tools cant get anything from my diagnostic plug... there is no power there,all fuses are good, I'm stumped... usually google is my friend, most threads bring me here, but so far nothing... Can anyone help?
Cheers
Scott

Hi all,My name is Bill and been around Fords for a few years now and have two au Fairmonts one VCT 6 and the other is a 5Liter with the fairlane interior, i found the oil leak section very helpful for the VCT 6 (so far no more leaks from the timing chain cover) and thus enroled as a member. I live in Perth.

I hate to see incidents like this causing so much damage. On a brighter side a panel beater friend of mine has assessed it and he thinks it should buff out.
