Cars: The Thread

[loophole]

Time to release the inner bogan

Well i though i might as well start up a car thread, well because i can

I myself have two old Falcons one i have recently given a new lease on life and the other i am in the middle of doing which i am getting really excited about because im finally getting somewhere with it

This first one is a 1965 XP Fairmont this was to replace my other falcon as my new daily driver but when i first got it about two years ago now it kinda looked like this and wanted to make it better



and after about 1 year after pulling it apart making it straight and rust free it is now looking like this



Now for the Beast i love this car to pieces ive had it since i was just over 15years old and have owned since im just over 25 now. Mind you it wasnt like this when i first got it was a bog standard 1971 XW Falcon with a 6 cylinder, Bench Seat, 4 wheel drum brakes, standard height and rubber floor.
At the moment i am in the process of respraying and then it will be used as my weekend car. Enjoy....

This was taken about 3 years ago


and just before that i did this to it, boring 6 cylinder....


and now a 351 5.8Litre V8


and here it is sitting in my shed after respraying the rear end, roof and bootlid

very nice cars guys, go the fords..

currently i have an ef fairmont which gets me form a to b, with little things done to it like new wheels, exhaust and stuff, but when i get outta uni and get a job i wanna get a nice new V8 if petrol prices are reasonable, or if i get a really high paying job

i would love to get an older ford like that XW you've got loophole, or an XY GT and fix it all up with a new engine and everything, but i really cant afford it, nor do i have the time or space in my garage haha

Heres my car, well the one that never gets driven. Owned it 5 years. Bought it with 50K on the clock, only down 68K now. Its a 94 VR SS. Before that owned a VP SS and my first car was a VN BT1 V8. All autos unfortunately but I love my 5.0L's. Can't wait for Bathurst this weekend. Looks like I'm on the other side of the fence to Soundwarp...lol! Like your XR8 btw and the old falcons are cool as too loophole!
