I really need to update this. I have since got both guards and the drivers door straight and into hi-fill primer, left door will be done tonight. Have fitted up drivers side panels for alignment. Valve springs are all fitted to the head and have started on the dump pipe which will be done tonight. Im on break tomorrow which shall see the left door into hi-fill and the timing chain and head fitted along with the exhaust manifold, turbo and dump pipe. Will upload pics when i get time

Thom. I have the pin out to turn those solenoid controlled boxes into a switch auto. We have been using them in the burnout scene (switch autos) for awhile now, mainly to get around the overspeed issue when using a stock computer.
But having said all that the c4, c10 route would be easier.
XG is essentially xf with different radiator support area. No K frame like XH. XH Utes can be a pain cause they were a model on their own. That is guards, bonnet, bumpers and roof line are all different to xg, xh.

well ive done some more.

 
cleaned up the head and ports
 

 
 

Lapping the valve
 

 
valves and seals installed.
 

 
Head and manifold on for mock up
 

 
and the turbo
 

 

 
 
I'm waiting for my valve springs to turn up so I can install them then bolt the head down and its onto making the dump pipe

Cheers mate there has been some work on this harder then my previous cars ive done.
 
New main bearings and cam bearings should turn up this week aswell as my cam and lifters(From Camtech) Which should see the bottom end put together then I can fit the flywheel, clutch and gearbox then I plan on fitting the bottom end and box into the truck so I can start sorting out the dump pipe and exhaust slowly

Lol. the different colours are just from sheet steel i had sitting in the shed and had painted other crap on it. When i get some time ill add more pics of where it is up to now

Well last year in December i got a F100 without motor or box for free so that became my newest project. It has a 3.50:1 lsd 9in in it and i am building up a 250xflow with a blow thru carby and a turbo which will be backed up with a T5. Well here are some pics of the work done so far.
 

 
When I got it
 

 
 

Stripping
 

 

 

Tray I picked up cheap
 

 
The damage
 

 

 

 
The fun
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
As it sits the bottom end of the motor is nearly ready to go in with the gearbox. Cab has been stripped and is ready for paint doors and guards are stripped, rust free and in primer and tray is 95%repaired just need to weld it out. Have also done a diff flip and painted the enginebay and chassis
