my XR6T has a plazmaman unit 450 x 350 x 90 mm running about 310rwkw. I can feel heatsoak on hot days in traffic, if you have an option I wouldnt use the stock one. At least go for the typhoon spec.

Looks great, Will the method described above also work for the XD front rubber lip?

emailed ebayseller aussie_auto_restorations and asked if they sold a kit without the bolts, they made up a kit of 20x speed nuts only and posted: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/-/131664930477? $20 for 20 & 7.50 postage.. now thats great service!

Hey All, Getting my front guards back from panel beater and need to buy some panel/speed nuts. Can someone point me in the right direction, i found these on evilbay: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Ford-Speed-J-Set-Nut-5-16-18-x6-XK-XL-XM-XP-XR-XT-XW-XY-ZA-ZB-ZC-ZD-ZF-ZG-ZH-/271951570496?hash=item3f5193a640:g:NO0AAOSwbdpWW44~ anyother options? cheers

So now with ACL going under what are the options for pistons? found these on ebay, do they suit?would rather buy local though.. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Ford-250-MASTER-Engine-Kit-1969-70-71-72-73-74-75-76-77-78-79-80-81-82-pistons-/190892677962?hash=item2c72171b4a http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Ford-250-1969-82-Engine-Kit-pistons-gaskets-rings-bearings-Se-Habla-Espanol-/151339146275?hash=item233c841c23

spool seem to have a decent piston & 200 rod combo, http://www.spoolimports.com/spool-engine-rebuild-kits/ford/250-x-flow-with-200-rod-rebuild-kit/ford-250-xflow-with-200-rod-and-ross-racing-pistons-rebuild-kit

Looks the part, anyone used? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FORD-Falcon-XD-Fairmont-Ghia-ESP-Front-Rear-Chrome-Bumper-Mould-sedan-ZJ-FC-LTD-/301571460202?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item46370f4c6a

As title suggests, how to remove the chrome and the plastic clips without breaking. I don't have a need for them so would rather on sell than break. Cheers

Seeing as though I am taking off both front guards makes sense to remove front bumper and clean up also. Any advice on how to remove the front bumper appreciated, cheers.

the method I been using is: clean get as much rust of with wire disc on drill por15 metal prep por15 rust preventative paint por15 stuff is expensive so unless you have abit to do I wouldn't get it.

Will taking them off rip paint off the panels? Was thinking to give the car a cleaner look with only the s pack orange stripe. Also if replacing how do stick back on? cheers

not sure if selling but will keep that in mind. speaking of which you can buy this set for a cool 1k start bid LOL http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/XD-FALCON-ESP-PHASE-5-INTERCEPTOR-S-PACK-GL-SIDE-BODY-MOULDS-GENUINE-NOS-/141514702185?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item20f2eefd69

Cheers mate will try that out, got one off using these tools.:

Howdy all, as title suggests. To remove is (if I remember from 15yrs ago) bolts along top, behind the front wheel, remove indicator and there is another bolt there? Was going to clean it up, use POR metal ready and then spray matt black the inside the of the guard. Sound like a good idea? Any suggestions welcome. Cheers

This^, thats what I have on mine, worth the money.

scratch previous post! got it sorted, must of been heatstroked! are these the correct bolt kits?: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FORD-REPRO-ZINC-PANEL-BOLTS-AND-NUTS-TO-SUIT-XD-XE-XF-MODELS-/131001854096?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1e8051a890

dammit, cant get the middle top screw off, next to the rubber bonnet stopper. the back of it has a thin metal washer nut (im sure there's a name for it). screw just keeps spinning and cant get anything underneath to hold it. any suggestions? also how would you go about putting it back together again? cheers

When screwing guard back on should I use seam sealer, along the top bolts?

Great work mate!

Yeah not bad. I set the hose on jet and ran it over the area, couldn't see any leakage. In saying that I reckon its still a good idea to replace the seal, at least then I can check if there is any rust forming etc....

Gents, In todays heavy melbourne rain I noticed a drop of water where the rear window demister is connected (see pic with orange circle). Does this mean the rear window seal needs replacing or something else is going on?

ending getting this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/3-Ton-Lifting-Capacity-Quick-Lift-Trolley-Jack-Double-Pump-Hydraulic-Low-Profile-/360772227528?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item53ffb351c8&_uhb=1 steel body, when it arrives I will write something up.

Gday all, was thinking about getting one of these http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Arcan-Low-Profile-Hydraulic-Aluminum-Race-Car-Trolley-Jack-1-8T-1800KG-Dual-Pump-/321069874096?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4ac1417bb0&_uhb=1 will it fit under an XD with superlow kings? any other recommendations? Cheers
