    Ford Xf Fairmont Ghia (Papou) - Rebuild/Help

    Yea a lot of people have told me with running the stock computer I can’t do much, my best option right now would be just go a stock cam as I’m trying to keep the car as original as possible. Haven’t found any listings for anything efi capability, cheers for the input appreciate it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    As soon as I get an answer of what you guys thing I should get in the efi I’m not going to order one, you guys have more knowledge than the Facebook warriors. I’m just after improved efi cam instead of putting another stock one back in, if you have any links ect would be much appreciated Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Sorry to bug ya guys again. Look I’m in a hassle I’ve spoken to crow cams and they said the Crow Cam 14221 isn’t comparable for efi motors but everyone else is saying there the best to go with efi motor. If anyone can link me the best cam I can go with through crow would be appreciated as I’m going to buy following parts through them aswell! Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Awesome, thanks for the input mate really appreciate it! I’ve been searching the core cam website but can’t come across efi 250 cam or timing chain ect, if you had some spare time could you please link me to the items that would go best with the freshen up? Not wanting something overboard just to freshen it up! I’ll keep in mind with the rubbers also might just buy the kit from rare spares [emoji53] they won’t top dollar though [emoji384] [emoji384] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Sweet awesome I’ll keep a look out. Also what’s the going rate for a freshen up on my motor? Nothing major just a small/mild cam and freshen up, anyone have someone that would like to take on the job? Also best cam for a efi motor without changing ecu/ratios and stuff, can’t find a part number for one that isn’t stock and will work with a stock setup efi. Cheers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    While I’m sourcing someone to paint the car I might aswell start getting a list of items for the engine rebuild. Does anyone have a list of essentials? I’m only going to put a mild cam in so nothing major is happening. Also can anyone help me out with a coin/storage compartment thingy? I’m located in Melbourne. Cheers. Cheers!

    Thanks mate, trying my best to get the car to a great body with as little “bog + fillers” as I’ve seen afew x series where they have a great paint job but you can see where they have rust few years down the track. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Today’s progress was great. There is afew photos of went on today. Quiet happy with the outcome. Had 2 great guys come out and cut weld up my rust sections. Boot seal,mudflap,corner 1\4 as they found abit on the end also. They went the extra mile when repairing the inner guard then rust converting it to 110% make sure no rust comes back! To me the job looks well don’t and they did there best so the painter wouldn’t have to use as much filler when time for paint! Next step to try and get my painter to come out and inspect,or if falls through search for a new painter. Slowly getting there day by day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hi all today picked up the rust repair pieces from Resto Country Spares in Moorabbin. Have got the boot channel (full length) also the rear lower quarter. Hopefully tomorrow they (should) be welded in depending if my rust guy can come out. He’s just having trouble coming down as he can’t fit his welder in his car, but he’s a good bloke and seen some of his work aswell.
