Cheers

Hi all,
Just joined, I have a XLT Ranger Super Cab on order [since 26/3/12] Haven't started building it yet. Hope to be here in September.
I am getting built a 8m 5th Wheeler by Travelhome at Boolaroo [Newcastle NSW]. It is due in August. I have my house up for sale at Port Macquarie NSW and when that happens I will be full time on the road.
I have ordered a Ford snorkel, tinting and LED wire with it.
I will be installing a 65l poly fuel tank in the tub, duel batteries, roof rack with a 110W solar panel with a Redarc BCDC1225 in-vehicle 12V 25A Multi-Stage Battery Charger, with MPPT Solar regulator.
Also a roller back cover from Bluey's at West Ryde in Sydney.
Travel home will instal the Ball hitch in the tub [over the rear axle].
ICOM IC400 PRO UHF under the driver's seat and mic with all controls on dash.
A Roof consol from Dept of the Interior at Blakehurst in Sydney, which will hold the screen for the six camera's on the 5er and Ranger.
An Engel 29l [40 year old] fridge will reside in the cab after removal of the back seat.
That's it for now just waiting.

Hello all

getting 'old' and starting to get a hankering for the cars of my youth. Back when you could pick up XB coupes fors $3000 i had me few nice rides.

Between 17 and 30 i had: XW GS, several XY's, 351 ZC Fairlaine, XB GS Coupe, XA Coupe, XB Sedan, XB Coupe, 73 LTD and a Pontiac. Time moved another 20 years on to little cars like a VW, Cortina, Escort, 63' Cadillac, 63 Galaxie fastback, 64 Galaxie hearse...and now building a bitsa hotrod.

So here i am feeling like a nice XA Coupe again and holy $%#! have they gone up in $$ or what! Oh man o man, if only i had kept all these cars and stored them in a shed...regrets regrets LOL.

I sold my last rare car to pay for the shed floor to be concreted (12x15mtr) not cheap and i now have a great floor and no car!

cheers all, i will have questions...

Hi all, new here but I'm glad to have found such a great resource!

I drive a BF MkII Fairmont GHIA, love it to bits and have always wanted one. Haven't had it long but I have lots of plans that will be done bit by bit as money permits (damn apprentice wages!). Anyway, here's a couple of pics. Cheers, Jake.

Two I just took quickly

And one I spent too long on..

This is my first post. Not sure if it should be in the reply box?

I live in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney. Own a 1970 F100 pick-up, fully rebuilt/restored. It has a 351 Cleveland, gas and petrol, 4 speed manual, high ratio diff. Many quality extras. Beautiful to drive.

May be looking to sell in the near future. Expressions of interest welcome.

Hi All,
1 x EF (currently building 1 out of 2...damn eldest son who thought he could drive!!)
1 x AU ute
1 x AU wagon
1 x XR Fairmont (a real XR - 1967 & 289ci) as a long term project

Has anyone come up with a way to make days longer so I have more time to work on the cars???

Hi all,

great to find a Ford forum

just bought an AU ute, but have owned an EB wagon & a 78 F100 ex ambulance.

My dad was a ford man, so is my mum, we have had Customlines, ZDs, 1975 anniversary model Fairlane, and more. Can not remember being in anything other than a ford.

looking forward to talking Fords & learning more

Giday everyone, just joined and thought I'd say hello. Been here a few times looking for hints and tips to keep my 2001 AU2 Fairmont Ghia running. Shes at the stage now where she needs a bit too much attention to keep paying for, lol.

With regards to what?

IE: Your car (and model), fixing a problem with it or just a general question.

Pretty much the same way you posted in here, but in the section relevant to your topic.

Near the top left side of each Forum page there is a tab that says "New Thread".

Click on that and away you go.
