Is your falcon ready for friday close / bathurst?

SprintFg · 03-10-2016, 11:07 PM

Only a few days until ford stop making falcon. This weekend is also the last bathurst that will feature a falcon.

I think its mandatory that anyone with a falcon if any model / engine give it the best clean / detail before black friday and last bathurst.

So clean it up and post up a pic.. all models included, only need to be sparkling clean.

Get your falcon ready and post a pic for us all to appreciate ahead of black friday / last bathurst.

No Falcons running at all next year?

Where do I fit the equivalent of a black arm band onto my Falcon?

Gave the old girls a bath a couple of weekends for a group shot. This is our family's Australian built Fords plus a good mates grey GTP. RIP FALCON!

G'day IFno-one runs falcons next year although they still can apparently no impediment to do so this'll be the last Bathurst I'll probably ever watch...What's the point in watching a whole bunch of Holdens running around scattered with other non Ford tin tops..NUP No fun in that.. Cheers Rod..

Correct ! Pro Drive & DJR/Penske will still be running their Falcons in 2017.
Introduction of the Gen2 Supercar was delayed until 2018. Even then, Gen 1 cars are allowed on the grid as well... so you might still see a Falcon running in 2018 !??

Rob 351 · 04-10-2016, 08:56 AM

Yep I beleive that at least PRA will still be running Falcons even in 2018.

While not a photo of SprintFg's actual car I reckon that it looks like this one...

With the ongoing crap weather here in Adelaide... and a 1250K drive ahead of us this Thursday, my Falcon won't be all squeaky clean for Friday... but it will be on top of the "Hill" at Bathurst for this years Great Race

But here's a pic from a few weeks ago, when it was nice & clean.. and doing what a Falcon was designed for... travelling the open roads....

Huh? As i said i gave not detailed it. I can upload old photos but the idea is to have it ready for friday close / bathurst not a photo taken last month.

If you want to see a photo of mine from a few month ago, its in the "show us your fgx thread."

So get your falcon ready for the shutdown and post up some pics.

So are you cleaning yours for bathurst/closing down of the factory or not?

If yes, we want current photos. If no, it's a bit unreasonable to ask others to do so when you are not doing it yourself.

I find that this product is the best for keeping the Falcons' shine:

bangm001 · 04-10-2016, 12:52 PM

Cleaned and polished my old girl over the long weekend. Took some pics then did some extra detailing of the badges/exchaust etc but you get the overall love...

HAHA! Yeah tips were cleaned, but the entire exhaust is now spotless underneath also! (Full stainless)..

EDIT: Ohh you mean the paint that was spilt on the concrete BAHAHAHA!! Never thought of it like that!!!! I need a stronger pressure washer to remove it the karcher wont take it off!!

**FairmontGS** · 04-10-2016, 02:31 PM

I'll need to find the keys before I can wash it...
