Projects
XY UtilitySomebody went to a lot of trouble to faithfully restore the body and interior of this vehicle. A short roadtest prior to commencing the mechanical restoration of this vehicle reminded me of how special this generation of Ford Falcon was. The new owner isn't compromising on anything with this car. The engine is out and undergoing a full detail and some power mods. New ceramic coated extractors and twin system, MSD ignition and 600 mechanical secondary Holley as well as a full tune will give nice power increase. The 9 inch rear axle will feature tru-trac LSD and 31 spline axles. New brakes, suspension and cooling system will ensure that this daily driver will perform to maximum reliability. An exact copy of the original "shaker" assembly incorporating the correct flap unit has been sourced as well as many other parts which will add value and driving pleasure to this appreciating asset.

1966 Ford Mustang CoupeThis Mustang arrived to us in a poorly restored state. The owner instructed us to repaint and restore it properly. It's a 289 manual car. We will refinish in dark green metallic blend, black standard interior with polished jellybean mags. The mechanicals are to be refurbished to oem specifications. Air cond system will be rebuilt to current ADR specification. Should be a nice cruiser...... | |
Falcon XP UtilityA nice honest old car. This vehicle will be restored to stock appearance. However, it will be repowered by a Boss 302 engine, C4 auto and 4 link nine inch rear end. Basic white exterior, bench seat and stock appearance wheels will look great..................... | |
Ford ThunderbirdThis job wasn't a restoration as such, however it did present some challenges. This vehicle came to us from North Queensland. The hood had been accident damaged and was not repairable. Easy to replace if you can buy new parts. A second hand replacement was sourced and stripped to reveal rust in all the worst places. Basically the skin from the donor hood was removed and fitted to the repaired frame of the original hood. The photos will show the repairs and good result at the completion of this insurance repair..... | |
Holden FJ UtilityFX-FJ Holdens are pretty iconic in Australia. The FX or correct name 48-215 was actually a rejected American design from General Motors which was almost pushed onto the local market. Check out the Henry Ford bias!! Yes I know Holden actually assembled early Fords too..... This poor ute has more dents than rust and it has plenty of that. We need to fit a V6 conversion for this client. Body will be stock looking with a couple of tasteful modifications. This one's going to take some time | |
Falcon XY utilityThis vehicle comes from western Queensland. Originally a 6 cylinder, three speed manual. It is basically rust free but has some substandard body repairs. We are repowering this one with a 351 4V cleveland engine. It will have a 4 speed top loader gearbox as well as a 3.5:1 nine inch rear axle with tru trac centre. Drilled disc brakes on all four wheels and period wheels should look great. Colour might be surfer orange. Interior will be black with bucket/bench seat. Body modifications include a fully welded tailgate and fabricated roll pan to delete spare tyre carrier. An early Mustang fuel tank will be fitted in the tradtional sedan area just 'cause we can. Maybe even a 1967 GT Mustang hood skin graft on the XY bonnet to make things interesting............. |
