ITS BACK BABY! I'm out of state at the moment but the guy finished up today and it looks really shmicko. I still have a full suspension rebuild waiting for me when I get back (which I will be documenting) but I've got a bike and xh which will be taking priority.

Today marks a great occasion, I got a letter from the government that didn't have a fines and penalties header. Crazy it's been 6 months since it was registered! I'm expecting it back in 2 weeks and then I can quit driving the effy around car parks. Ford must have known this was weak as the xg I harvested the bracket off had alot of reinforcement compared to the xf

If cleaning all the connections doesn't fix it you can try adding a resistor in parallel to the pot to send a bit more power through

Recently Ive run into a problem trying to fix the old f100. I have called all the pannel beaters around my area of central queensland and I cant find anyone with a frame puller. The tip of the drivers side is bent but not too horribly and the thing still drives fine so I dont think its a write off (although Im closer to a butcher than I am a pannel beater so what do I know?) but no shops Ive called even have the tools to try and fix it. So here I am again asking for help, if anyone knows of a shop that can fix even just the frame it would help me greatly. The closer the better but Im willing to travel interstate for someone good. In the meantime Ill keep calling around and Ill keep you all posted if I have any luck. (Although it looks mangled, the only bit actually bent is the tip where the bull bar mounts the rest of it is just built like that)

If you pull the starter off you can get to the converter bolts Thanks mate, It took me way too long to figure that out!
-
Well with one problem down another pops up, I can't find the bloody inspection cover on this thing. Ill try rattling out the bolts and see if its just splined together but Im completely stumped about how to get at the converter bolts.

Well I have finally returned to this now that I need a car for a mate, I got my hands on another xr6 that had been in a wreck for $1000 and am pulling the engine out of it today (if anyone needs fg parts hit me up). The plan is to do the swap for now and then rebuild the original engine to turbo spec and make an xr6 turbo out of it. Ill keep you posted but so far so good! Its not just safe, its 40% safe!

I'm working on a 07 fairmont for a friend that has no tail or dash lights even though all the fuses are ok and it has no relevant dtc's. I haven't gotten a good chance to look at it and inspect the harnesses but I'm hoping someone here has some pointers as to what it could be. Right now Im suspecting a break in the harness for the tail lights but I really have no clue to whats wrong. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer, I only get at this thing half an hour at a time so any and all help is welcome!

Does this part of the frame unbolt? I have access to an XF roller if it's easier to just pull parts off that.

After a slight mishap with a concrete drain I've fucked up a rim with brand new tyre and my alignment so after crab walking it home I'm firing up the lemonade stand and Ill be rebuilding the front end and trying to do a diy alignment. Just one of those days

She came good! Message me and ill get it shipped off
-
I plugged it in and its not working fully. I stuck it in the tank and its reading low but it came up a bar after sitting for 5. Ill leave it in overnight and see if it comes good

Ill just throw a new regulator in when I get home and just see what happens.
