I guess i'm not allowed to fill the whole tray area with subwoofas either?

But how else will i be able to listen to my dance music?






MaineBugs... i'll be down at Castlemaine in a couple of weeks if you want me to do a price assesment on your car.

If you want to get some money for it, part it out and take it to the Castlemaine or Bendigo swaps, you'll get way more money for it parted out, and no-one has old pus box parts at those swaps. You might do fairly well out of it. Not that i condone parting out old cars.... that is against my religion.

Dance music in one of these???
Ill punch you in the nuts too!

I actually have the same problem. I'm looking for a 3sp auto column as well. For the mean time, i have modified a 2 speed XL auto column, by enlarging the slot. Wouldn't recommend it though, pain in the ass, and i messed up the indicator wiring in the column putting it back together. That bloke in Thomastown has everything, not necessarily that cheap.

Will get back to you about the wheels. Have to talk to type3disease about it. He said a courier was coming up this way and i was going to see if he could send them up.

Will let you know as i've still got my heart set on those wheels.

Wow, I had to dig deep to find this thread

We managed to do a bit of VW ingenuity on the foulcoon on the weekend by flipping the tie rods to get some more engine clearance.

I wonder if we could convince Mick to follow it up with more VW style mods and narrow the front 4"?

Like this!

been looking at xl xk's of late (missng my f.o.r.d action recently) this thread isn't helping...

that is the wizards business right there...!

Nice!, My neighbour has a xp ute that he picked up for $4k with reg. Always liked the old fords myself. I'll see if I can get a pic tonight. Keep it up boys!

nar its a cool rig.... just need to get a good solid run on it

Good to see some progress Fowlcan

This is my neighbours xp, soon to be slammed.

I hope to see this thread getting a few more updates in the coming weeks

Well, I'm sure there's been some progress??

I start tonight. The month of february build off has me inspired and motivated to get off my arse. I don't have any sexy pics to post either, you will have to take my word for it

It's hard to make progress when your at polaties 4 nights a week let's get this bitch moving!

Game plan/checklist?

It's pilates jerk, but you were close.

First got to get the engine and box back in and see if everything fits, radiator, fan, exhaust, sump and if it doesn't fit I will probably cry.

After that there are gear linkages to make, driveshafts, plumbing, oil coolers the list is endless. But I am starting at the engine bay and radiator and working backwards basically. Want to get the motor in and drive it in and out of the garage before i worry about cosmetics and suspension. A list might be too scary to look at.

So this is a pic of when I first got it, 4 houses and 3 states of Australia ago. Just so you can see that it was no oil painting before I got it.
