Hi all, just wondering, if you had all the money in the world, but you had to spend it on your ford, what would you do to it?

1. you can spend it on multiple fords 2. any mods must be factual and be possible 3. all mods must be suitable for a ford ie no ferrari engines on a festiva 4. you must spend your money on a ford 5. you must provide a rough rough guestimate on your mods cost

I'd buy every Falcon that came off the line and give them back, so Ford sell every Falcon atleast once, so they won't stop making them.
And I'd just do everything possible to mine, engine work, custom interior, sound system, nice neat white pearl paint on the outside.

My current car, the XR6 would gain a Nispro built barra, 6 speed, AU IRS, UPC front brakes, 18 X 8.5 drifteks and a new paint job.
Then, i would have a XP wagon, flat black with a metalflake purpe roof, fish tale exhaust, venitians, sun visor, spats etc...

I've got a variation on this one. There's a time machine down the back (a portaloo called the Turdis) that can get me back to 1972, so I've ordered an
XA ute with Wild Plum paint, black interior, air and steer, GS pack and driving lights, 351, T-bar auto, LSD, mags, and push-button radio with electric aerial. The poor dealer is fretting because unless it comes with a 4V he's not getting an order for a dozen Louisvilles. And the shell has to be galvanised. But the door of the Turdis might not be wide enough, so there's a heated dry dungeon to build as well ..... Last edited by shedcoupe; 14-04-2011 at 08:47 AM. |

Me? Find an old school coupe, get some crazy brake / suspension setup and keep doing the engine up until I crapped my pants when I hit the "GO" pedal, then go to town on the interior, paint and panel. |

Have every decent Ford model I could? How do I make this sensible? Replace it with a new F150 Lariat EcoBoost, get a Mustang 5.0 convertible, and a Lincoln MKT EcoBoost for my wife. Get a Falcon GT-P to drive around in Australia, with a new Ranger I5 diesel.

i suppose the best thing to do with a old BF Falcon (for a millionaire) is to stick all it's running gear into a XB Falcon.

Buy an older model Ford and restore it, I'd keep it original although not without some slight modifications but won't go over the top. If it was something like a P5 LTD which I wouldn't mind finding one some day, I would give it a good exhaust system to really show what it's got under the bonnet.

Drop a worked 3Ltr Capri V6 into my Escort van, twin webers, side pipes, airbags. And get the motor in the XB worked so it performs like a GT should.
I would have to build a huge shed to house all of Fords finest, RS Focus, BA GTP, TE50, Mustangs, T-Birds, Falcon GT's, Fairlanes, GT40 ect. With all that money I dont know if I could stop at Fords though, too many nice cars from other manufacturers as well. |

I'll Build another AU. Bling Bling and Bling with Coyote Conversion.
I will also make sure that Bling Factor has more class this time. You know first impression lasts. Take the car to reputable Tuner for Fun Times. $20-25K
