If something fell inside a pillar and it went straight down, should be able to access from behind the trim. Not hard to check, think there's only two screws/clips

Have you taken the inside kick trim off?

How do you get the door hinge bolts back from inside A Pillar?

I can’t even see them. The bottom ones.

Yoiks!!!

Anyone in Melbourne south east area do mobile rust repair? Front boot seal and mudflap area! 

Thanks mate, I’ll give it a go.

Why does my XF tailgate close too far? I can’t seem to find the adjustment in it. Am I missing a seal that should push it back a bit? Is there an adjustment anywhere?

Aggghhhhh!

Took the cover from the wheel arch off, and undid 6 nuts. Took no time at all. Couldn’t believe how easy the job was.
No redback spiders. But plenty of mud I had to kneel in.

Doors came off super easy. So pleased I asked the question of help. I usually find the longest way to do something the first time.

Thanks.

if you spot a gemini there, let Me know. even the front wheel drive one(electronic dizzy guts is a conversion for the old ones) 

 
which wrecker is that? Imlach's? Jollys, or some where else we should know about?

Imlacks. There is a few xf utes there. 1 was so similar to mine, it made me feel sad to see it so stripped.

Might have been better than mine on arrival.

Thanks guys.

It’s my third trip. I’m getting addicted.
My list so far is:
- S pack rim x1
- drivers seat belt,
- couple of miscellaneous screws
- door (LH priority, and RH is all goes well).
- 1/4 panel LH

The place I’m going in South East Melbourne allows Sabre saws, so I’m charging the battery for extra fun.

Hi folks,

I’m off to the wreckers this weekend. What’s the quickest way to remove front doors? (Gotta keep the wife’s anger to a minimum).

What else do you guys grab from the wreckers. I’m new to falcon projects and am loving it. (Use to muck about with English stuff, but got sick of the oil leaks).

Cheers,

Rod.

Thanks guys. Seat is out.
I ran a tap up the bolt from under the Ute. Sure was a terrible state.

Thanks for the help.

Hi Guys,

Any advice on how to remove my 86 XF passengers seat belt buckle extension?

The drivers seat had bolts that went through the floor, and nuts on the bottom, all removed okay, then seat belt buckle extension remove to free it from seat.

My problem is the passengers side. The seat itself, is all loose. The seat belt buckle extension goes through a metal loop, which is giving me the frustration. I tried to undo the seat belt buckle extension bolt from inside the car, (under car has a nut that is fixed to chassis). The bolt head was tight, and after turning 1 full turn, it now seems like it’s not wanting to turn.

If you can’t undo the bolt in blue, then how do you get the seat out?

Also what is all the other electrical gear shown in photo? It is a previous amp and stereo? Do I cut it out or leave it it?

Thanks for you help.

No drama about extra paint, I am sure I can find something a spray.
I rang 13ford, the vehicle was a “commercial order”.
(No “option 36” in the I.D. plate)
Would it be a D4 HORIZON BLUE EJA ?

Turns out robins egg blue is different.
Some more googling, and I recon this might be close, http://www.ozfalcon.com.au/index.php?/topic/1877-1989-xf-falcon-ute/

I’ve messaged the poster, but if anyone could identify that paint, I’m happy to try yet another pressure pack can, ‍

Thanks.

You Google powers are better than mine.
I kept Google-ing with falcon as one of the search terms and got nothing. And being a man I could see it

Thanks Dean.

It is the actual colour. Everywhere I’ve poked around is the same colour, just less scratches. And the I.D. plate specifies the “CZ” which I can’t find a definition of.

Was there ever Police utes that were a light blue (almost white) colour?

Thanks again you Wizards!

Hi guys,

Generally speaking, it is a light, light sky blue.
(Like a mix of white and light blue).
Nothing on it is marked as anniversary, but I’m new to xf falcons, so could be corrected on what to look for.

Not the best photo, as it now looks whiter

Thanks for your input.

If I call ford could they tell me what the mix is? I need to “touch up” a few places.

Hey guys,

Sorry for the delay to the thread.

Anyone know what colour for a “CZ” is for an 86 Falcon XF?
Any help would be great.
All my searching has got me no closer.
