Yeah was deburring this morning,time was short this afternoon though. It's differently made space for the air cleaner.. It's just so ever so slightly touching the front of the scoop now underneath when I shut the bonnet. Would you think that'd be putting upwards pressure on the scoop from underneath to make the body filler come away,surely they're fastened on by more than just body filler. Hahaha shows what I know,fuk all

Ummn my skill sets were outstanding today. First couple attempts & just thought I'd leave it. Few hour's later with some subtle encouragement from a colleague on messenger

The back cross member & X support structure seems the main support. Stopped myself from cutting into it yesterday,turned to custard they're pretty hard to replace over in NZ

Not sure if new one abit over kill. Last photo original

Hey Guy's What's your opinion on cutting out the highlighted area to fit a 14"K&N air cleaner. Will it necessarily effect the structural integrity of the bonnet,the above structural supports to the left & right seem to be the main supports

Thanks. I won't chase it too much longer & will probably just leave it to the painter. Are looking forward to the minor restoration & interior reupholstered

Hey thanks so much for all your imput. I took door cards off today & had the previous door cards from last owner that had some subtle hints of purple in places. I'll probably check oldschool cars & posted on XF FANATICS. Also seen the firewall tags on the Australian factory XF's ,quite a big difference

Thanks alot. Here's couple photo's of my firewall tag. Most of the car in pretty good knick paint wise & are shortly getting the bonnet/ boot redone. Also doing full interior reupholstered;so taking door cards off could be a tell tale sign for sure. (not letting me upload photo's of the boot)

Looking for paint codes on my 1985 Ford Fairmont 351c. Pretty sure had a respray at some stage at the current code on firewall is CI2. Below spontaneous photo's of my car & a XE Fairmont ESP in Zircon Green (the bottom photo in the collage photo is mine,probably miles apart but hey) or pearl green in the last photo. Feel free to add in your 5c worth. Cheers from over the ditch

Hey Guy's Howz it.. Touching base to query some excessive RPM on New buy I'm in the final stages of. 87 XF Fairmont Ghia 408c, race car spec's on the new engine build, running a strong C4 trans & 8 3/4" 3.25 ratio diff but doing 4000 rpm at 100k. That kinda sounds like it sucks, what you reackon

Yeah #2-3 shifter location can swap around but was concerned about #1 shifter position but found dimensions of TKX and measured it out & I'm swt as. Got a good score on a XD centre console with rubber boot for $40, apparently over here just the rubber boot sells for $80 alone. It's chopped & I'm gonna have to Chop it some more but happy. It's sucks when ya press return key one too many times & loose everything that just typed out

Hey BGDAV, aren't I clever, I managed to quote my own post Hey um... did you have to change your shifter location 1 2 or 3. Hope I don't have to use #1 shifter location, it's $455 USD for a mid shifter. I'll fork out for that if I have to as want to keep my bench seat

Hey just reading over this, is the XE brake booster & brake master still OK to use, it's just clutch master needs to be a FC HOLDEN... I understand why now it's about the bloody bore size

Thanks so much NZ Be back to level 3 on Wednesday, so hopefully bit closer to getting it sorted

Cheers Dean, apreciate
