Thought I'd say G'day, am a long time Ford fan from the Goldfields originally,now live in Perth,expecting my series 2 GTP (hopefully)this Friday. Have to say i've been hanging out, she was ordered in mid Jan, seems a long time coming. I've enjoyed reading all the comments from happy owners while waiting, although i'm not sure it made the time pass any quicker!

Gday everyone. I've been lurking and reading the threads for a few months now, so it's about time I introduce myself. My name is Mitch and I live in Hobart. I've been into cars for as long as I can remember, but I didn't become a one-eyed Ford man until the age of 12, when my old man got me a banged-up TC Cortina as a bushbasher to learn how to drive in. It was all downhill from there haha!

My current cars are a 97 EL XR6 auto as my daily driver, a 74 ZG Fairlane 500 302 auto as my project / weekend car, and an unregistered 78 TE Cortina 250 4-speed wagon (have no plans for it, but it was my first road car and haven't sold it for sentimental reasons). I might put some photos up later.

I look forward to chatting with everyone, and might ask for some pointers the next time I'm stuck with something when working on the Fairlane!

PS: I'm looking for a rustfree bootlid for the Fairlane (current one is stuffed), so if anyone hears about one please let me know.
