Wow Dave ,
What a "Nice" Mustang , you like some of our cars , we Love your car , we'll "have to do a Swap" : they're going back to the "Original" look.

How's this for an "Offer" , You come over here for a month or 12 ( With your car of course ) , You can have a drive of our's and we can have a drive of "Yours" (joking) .

Thanks for the Photo's :

hi all,

Dan from wollongong nsw,

For years I was a holden boy, having done soo much work on friends XE's & XD's and a few others i swore id never get a FORD, how wrong i was.... but this time glad to be wrong.

We just bought a 1990 EA it has some "minor malfunctions" caused by the last owner, I wish there was a mal-owners suit so you could take people to court for the way they treat thier cars.

But we will work out the kinks.

We just got it resprayed this afternoon and ill post some pics of her soon from "stark white" to red.

Hello everyone.My name is Shane and I live in Calgary,Alberta, Canada. I am a long way away but I have been interested in the cars that Ford produced over in your Country. I have to say that you guy's are lucky and have some impressive rides there. In Canada we are dominated with the Mustangs. I looked at the FPV that you guy's have and wow.They stomp the Mustang in every catergory. I am also a technician for Ford here too and I have to say that the only place that I see a 5.4L engine is in the F-150 truck's or the Lincoln Navigator SUV.

Well I hope to be on here alot and browse through all your pics in the gallery

Thanks
Shane

Hey all. Dimi here. Live in Sydney and own an xp Falcon. She was a little rough with the expected cancer for an unrestored car. Most of it has been cut at this stage and i hope to have her back on the road byFeb 2008. Cheers

Hi to all!

I stumbled upon this site about 6 months ago and it seems really informative and friendly and have finally decided to become a member.

A little about myself - based in Brisbane (north side) and have been into Fords for as long as I can remember but have an appreciation of any performance / luxury car.

Past rides include a VL Turbo, EFII Fairmont Ghia, XD 351 ute and an original XC Falcon 500 with 351, 9 inch and 4 speed manual.

I still have the XC and once had grand dreams of a complete rebuild in a Pro-Tourer theme complete with TT stroked 351 :evil3: but work commitments and lack of knowledge / skills have kept the poor old XC in pieces in the garage. :(

So in order to scratch that performance car itch I bought a brand new BF Typhoon with leather and auto late in '06 and picked it up on Australia Day of this year and have been loving it ever since. :

My only regret is that the missus has put more kays on me cause I'm always away for work.

Here's the only pic I have of the Phoon at the moment (I really should get some proper pictures of it soon)

Cheers

Hello all. I've been looking to buy a P5 Ltd for a while now and don't seem to be having much luck. In particular I'd like to find some info/images/project buildup stories for some inspiration. Can anyone help?

Hi all

just joined. have been looking at the net for paint codes when I came across this site.
I am making pretty a 1974 Landau. we have had it in the shed for about 6 years and are the third owners. the previous owner was an 80 year old revhead who couldnt drive and bashed it up a bit so the body work needs alot of TLC there is the obvious rust spot in the rear window and a small patch under the rear right quarter panel. I drove it from Mildura to Melbourne last week and what an absolute pleasure to drive I did get it up to 90 at one stage (oh thats 90 mile an hour) just out of bendigo and it hummed along no worries I will post some photos later on when I get the camera out. does anyone on here know where to get the paint codes from. I know there was thirteen colours originally and i can eliminate 10 of them but when you are colour blind it doesnt help hahaha.
