Hey guys, I have been on here a while and thought it was about time I introduced myself. My name is Leigh & I drive a BF RTV on straight gas as my daily driver and I just recently purchased a new project in the form of a 1978 XC Sedan.

I will post more info in the project thread but here's a pic of the new project.

G'day
Just renewed my membership after about 10 years. Been a Ford fan for over 50 years, & was at Bathurst for some of the classic Ford wins of the 70's - Moffatt Ph3, John Goss XA, Cobra 78.
Don't own a Ford at present, last Ford was a 03 BA XR8, but Fords all through the family

G'day all. I'll try to keep it short, everyone calls me Macca. A ford enthusiast from Perth. Been into the car scene since before i could drive, and have had a few jap cars and minitrucks over the years. Went down to a Ford dealer one night just to have a look around, test drove a 2010 FG XR6 and i've loved it ever since. Lasted two years before the bug got me again and i started fiddling with it.

Can't say enough about the forums and all the top advice going around!

Hey guys,
My names James and I own a 2004 BA XR6 which is fairly stock at the moment thinking of adding RCA outs to the premium sound.
Look forward to getting advice from everyone as I slowly modify my car

Been reading these forums since I got my car and have already learnt a lot seeing as I am young driver who doesn't have the knowledge or experience all of you have

New to the forum and thought I should say G'day

Most people just call me Moses and I live in Brisbane
been a Ford fan my whole life and now I finally have one
I had to sell my bike due to an injury so I replaced it with a 2003 BA XR6 N/A
must say I have only had it a few days now and I really do love it
have wanted an XR since they were first released
the XR6 will be the daily driver and my Jeep goes back to being just a weekend toy
look forward to being part of the forum

cheers

hello everybody. just wanted to say a warm hello to the forum. Im interested in car generally and like to keep my head up on new technologies in the auto industry. If anyone need help with anything from FORD let me know as I have access to workshop manuals eg. Falcon FG, Terriotry SZ etc.

Thanks again and hope to contribute to this growning community!

Hi

New member here. I have a faithful EF2 with high kms and a Territory with shot ball joints and other probs. After a lifetime of Fords I am parting ways with Ford because I am sick of arguing with Ford dealers over warranty repairs. Incredibly stingy and short sighted.

I have made good use of the Ford Forum so I can do repairs myself or know when to go to (non-Ford) professionals.

Howdy,

I've stalked this forum for the last 5-6 months and figured it's probably time to register. Anyway, my name is Marc and i live in the Western Districts of Vic.

Don't judge, but i don't have a Ford - a former Holden supporter that switched when the Black Edition FPV met my eyes.

Cruising in a vs commy, sadly the ultimate bogan-mobile.

Have a good one.

Hi Chopper 681, I'm new to the forum as well. I've just had a look thru my Max Ellery's Manual covering all the AU models, and it shows no difference to the ute or the sedan in the Bucket seats. It seems even the benches, will move between Ute Wagon and Sedan.
