Hi all,
My name is Melanie and I drive a MANUAL 2005 BA MkII XR8....in vixon red.

The XR8 is a dream car of mine.....but I have now set myself a task, and unfortunately, once my task has been completed, my baby will be up for sale.

I have made the decision that I need a project of some kind. In the end I decided the project that really sounded interesting to me is doing up a old car. So I am now on the hunt for a XC Falcon to do up....so that's how I found my way here.

A. to see if can find my "project car" here, and;
B. to get tips and/or advise if I need them during the project.

hi guys, my name is Matt

Ive owned a fair few fords over the years, mostly brand new as company cars (including EL fairmont giha, AU I XR8, AUIII Fairlane giha V8, BA XR6T) my current car is a BA mk2 FPV GT and I love it. most over the others have stayed standard, but the modifying bug bit me on this one! lol.

I may start a thread on it, so wont go into too much detail here, but basicly its got: chrome 19's, chrome front grill and rear boot garnish (from fairmont), custom front GT badge, shaker, exhaust, full induction system, and some painting of the engine bay

heres a couple of old pics, ill update them when the grill is fitted (whole reason i found this forum, to find out how to remove/fit it)






I look forward to being a little more involved on here, cheers

p.s sorry bout the size of the pics, i dont know how to do thumbnails

Been looking around for a while. Running a XAGT Top Loader big tag in Jewel Green.

Seems like a good place to pull up a chair.
