Hi folks, the name's Gerry and I just joined this forum a few days ago.
I have jus commenced on my project, which is a '65 XP Falcon Futura Hardtop. This car has been in our family for some 45 years and has been off the road for almost 30. While it's in really good nick with absolutely no rust, I aim to restore it to it's original condition. It'll take a while, as time and money become available. I also intend to do as much as possible myself. The car is currently stripped down to a shell and about to go on the rotisserie, but the following shots were taken just prior to work commencing. I am keeping a detail log of work, $'s spent as well as lots of pics. When I get organised I'll see about posting as the project continues... I think it'll be a loooong project though. ![]()

Hi guys, thanks for joining me up. I'm in Canberra. My brother and I are going to convert a 170 XP manual ínto a 289 auto. We've got the original,stock,good running engine from a 67 mustang from a mate up the road and I just picked up a reco C4 from the Central coast. W'ed like to collect most of what we need before starting the job. Im led to believe that we need a V8 diff from a XT, front discs,calipers and booster from a XT/XW, 5 stud wheels,302w engine mounts. XT V8 crossmember and XT radiator. Not sure about tailshaft. Will all brake lines and trans cooling lines fit? Handbrake cable? Im sure ive missed things that we need. Does anyone have any parts for sale? best places to get this stuff? We would like to find a diff next. Thanks,any info much appreciated. Oh...and is engineering required in ACT? I was told by the mustang guy up the road it doesn't cause its factory parts and not cutting anything.. doesn't sound right to me.

Hi everyone, it's great to be involved in a group of passionate, proud, experienced and knowledgeable people who are keen to share.
Cars have always been fascinating to me and that hasn't been just the Ford brand. My driving now is no longer competitive, but full of enjoyment for just getting that corner so right. My current ride is a Focus ST which my wife says is too harsh, the kids just want to get into, and the grandkids can't eat in. |

Well hello everyone
I'm not exactly a new member. I've been lurking for years but only just started posting lol My name is Damien. I have a 2004 BA xr8 ute and a 2006 BF GT. The GT is my pride and joy. I have long term plans to fix the paint/rust and make her go faster but for some reason the BA is taking all my moneys... |

Hey all. I have a 1996 XF and 2004 BA XT Sedan. I loved my XF Spack to death and when it came time to get a family car ... a Falcon was my only choice.
I am a newbie to cars and only know the basics. By day I am an IT guy, by evening a family man and weekend ... That is for pretending to be a handy man and pretending I can work on cars ![]()

Hi All,
I live in Melbourne and just got a Mondeo wagon 2011 LX. Moving down from 6cyl but very happy so far. Unfortunately, there was no user manual and the only ones I can find online are from Ford UK and they have a different dash. Struggling a bit with some of the electronics. I was hoping to find some manuals on this site but no luck. Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the manual? Many thanks, Asher. |

Hiya, I'm Bella, I've had a few fords over the years, my first car was an XA sedan, another was an XD V8 panel van, now my new girl is an AUII 75th Anniversary Futura. I've been reading thru the forums looking for info about her lil quirks and how to look after her.
This is her. My intent is to keep her looking beautiful as she is, stock, with some select mods to make her jump when I put my foot down and handle better. Anyways, cya later ![]() |

Hi all,
I've owned a few Fords - XW panel van; XB panel van; XD panel van; Ford Transit; 78 LTD; EB Fairmont white; EB Fairmont Green & currently a 2013 XR6T. Guess that makes me a Fordie - what to do to spice up the turbo? |

G'day all,
I've had a few Fords over the years- an XC Falcon ute 3 on the tree 250 crossflow, XD Fairmont, XC Fairmont GXL 302 and an EF XR 6, but I've been Fordless and off in the wilderness for more years than I'd care to admit. That's all going to change in November when the 6 speed manual FG X XR8 arrives ![]() This looks like a fantastic forum with lots of good info that I'm sure I'll be making plenty of use of and thanks for adding me. Cheers, Andy |
