Hi All

Just joined the forum as I've just bought another Ford after a few years of different brands.

I just bought an AUII XR8 as a bit of a hobby car. I commute on 2 wheels so it wont get a lot of use.

I have a fairly decent history of Fords both here and time I've spent in the UK.

Here Goes...

GT 1300 Escort (UK late 70's)
XW Falcon
XF Fairmont
XR3i Escort (UK Mid 90's)
EA S Pack Manual
XW Falcon
EL Futura Wagon

and now the XR8.

Plan is to clean the XR8 up, stick a Fairmont interior in it and whack on a set of wheels.

Well I finally picked the car up after a major stuff up with the RWC. The seller was stuffed around something shocking by their mechanic cancelling bookings and not doing anything when he eventually did get the car.

I'll post some 'before' shots after I've washed it.

Here are a couple from Carsales.
