    Will a XE K frame fit into an XG??

    They don't have a k frame as such mate, which bit do you mean? Generally speaking though xe body's are the same as xe.

    Did you know padded consoles are?

    FG MK1 Bluetooth

    The price difference makes it hardly worth fitting it yourself if thats the case.

    Running dual fuel on AU 4.0L fitted into a XC

    The guy has not asked for an opinion on his plans, lets stick to helping him rather than shitting on him.Simple answer to the question is yes au's ran a simple converter system from factory, falcons never got gas injection until fg mark2. I f I were doing it id use something like an impco system because the vialle gas that ford used on au are not tunable, and very expensive to replace a converter on.

    Exhaust Shops in VIC

    The lh one on the xd was a fucking nightmare, we had to snake it around the filler neck/sender/chassis rail/tyre.not fun and a very slow process.

    351C and 5 speed

    Toyota boxes are hard to find, expensive,and relatively weak for the cost. go with a t5 if dollars are tight go with a tremec if you can afford to splash.

    my bonnets melting :( turbo bags

    When a member of wes caliber is banned I understand it will leave shockwaves for a while,it's been long enough. He's started a fight in a turbo thread and he isn't even here lol. Enough though,only gay dudes fight over hair driers.

    au diff into xf

    Yeah au2 to bf3 run the same front end, can't say I've tried to do the upgrade either so couldn't say if the k frame is the same or not.<br />

    au diff into xf

    S1 au has smaller front brakes and a different steering rack, that is the main mechanical difference.

    au diff into xf

    I've never seen an au xr6 without lsd, it was an option on ba. Lsd was stock on au xr's.all the hp xr6 sedans were live axle, all the xr8 and vct xr6 sedans were irs no matter what series.<br />
  15. The sedan version of that era of torino was the last falcon sold in the USA, and only sold in 1970 before being dropped from the lineup. I would bet it's no coincidence they bolt right up to xa's,they were the xa's dad.

    Retrofit intank pump?

    My xd runs a frankenpump in tank pump and sender setup, so it can be done. Just make sure you use submersible fuel line for any rubber lines.
  17. Tell us what you really think Steve lol.

    Aligning/Rehanging doors

    That's why the hinges are adjustable, they wouldn't move if all the doors fitted exactly the same from car to car.

    Aligning/Rehanging doors

    This is good advice if the doors are the original ones for the ute, if they were off something else all bets are off.

    Aligning/Rehanging doors

    Yep,adjust the hinges on the body then fine tune with the door to hinges.

    Aligning/Rehanging doors

    Take out the striker when lining up too,set the door up in the hole then make it close.The striker will throw it all over the place. If the gap is larger at the top it means the the top hinge needs to go backwards,which will lower the whole door,so then lift the whole door straight up to get it lined up. Make sense?

    Aligning/Rehanging doors

    Is the gap even all the way along where the door meets the quarter panel?
