I'm seriously looking at air bagging her. I think it's the only solution.
Does any one have any feedback on this idea?

Maybe have a look at the suitability of something like this:

It's nicely done but the flames are a little 70s. I think shakers should stick with XYs. Still it's got a lot of presence.

Flames a little 70's? They're on a 70's car! Suits well IMO :

Hope your XC project goes well. Looks like you have alot of work to do.
At least you have got good motivation to turn out a nice car, shame about the circumstances though.

Yeah, I was the same mate, then I saw this old girl!
I've just got a quote for air bags on the front end, and I was surprised, it should help me with the bottoming out issue..
I will keep posted!

Luckily for me the guy that i bought it off had done all the hard work and removed all the rust to get it back on the road, He had done a terrible job of the panelbeating though but luckily i know a excellent panelbeater/painter thats doing it for me at a great price and hes stripped 90% of the car back to bare metal so nothing falls off down the track lol

71valiant I would love to go with airbags and cant wait to see your landau when its sitting on the rails!!!

71valiant I would love to go with airbags and cant wait to see your landau when its sitting on the rails!!![/QUOTE]

I can't wait to get her started, the guys doing it are looking forward to the job too. He has an HQ coupe he has bagged, (probag.com.au) is their site (can I say that?) There is quite a few people saying they are the ones to do the job..
The main reason for going down this path is to have variable ride height, road surface dependant. Plus... who doesn't like a coupe as low as possible!
I go for a quote on tuesday 14.4.09.
Let's hope I get carried away ay!! :evil3:

Fantastic!! Looks great, pretty much the perfect combo. So glad it didn't end up as a GT replica like so many others.

Cheers.

It's a factory 6 with 4 speed. But running gear came with the car.
I was going to go a replica but ran the numbers with ford and is factory GS. Didn't know the original colour until i bought it either.

This is how I found her. Project gone horribly wrong! yes that's an XD bumper

well kahless credit to you to returning her to her former glory (albeit with a bigger heart)

my biggest beef with you is that there isnt enough pictures of this girl on this forum!

Yes, please put up more pics. Looks fantastic. The red striped tyres go really well with the car. The interior colour suits too. Done well mate.
