XT Falcon project

[ALLMTR]

So, which one do you want?

[Shifty]

XR6T, auto, on the tree.

[GTREA]

Was the previous owner a fun guy?

[Greg Rust]

Nice one, so it's a 200

[Sturmovik]

The 'tow' was the owner simply pulling out from where it was parked. I nearly told him to forget it and walked, but I had driven ~200km to go get it. As I said it was a deceased estate, the guy was getting rid of his son's collection, so didnt want to be too much of a cunt. And he was a big help getting it onto the trailer.

221

[Greg Rust]

Cool bananas. I think I have some 2" lowering blocks for you.

So - Bench front seat or buckets? If a bench, is there a belt for the middle front? Where they lap sash front belts by this stage?

Those late model 6's seem really big compared to even the old v8's.
I sort of wonder if the old mans XR6 EF engine would fit in an Early Bird engine bay. If he goes to sell or trade and gets offered stuff all I might be forced to find out! Though a 250 2V would be a better fit, it seems.

Fun fact: The average price for the five XT's on carsales (incl an unfinished project) is over $38k

[9triton]

xt's came as 6 cyl - 221ci or 188ci or v8 302 windsors.

plenty people put 302 and 351 clevos in them as well




cool project

i got my XK ute rego'd (vic)- full of dents and crappy paint and a bit of surface rust so i guess you would be right




CSH; was at a car show and was some VW beetle - with rust and patina - including lichen.

guy had a sign ;

'do not touch the lichen'

worried people would destroy his hard won moss build up

Since the orginal ford forums in fact, so have I for that matter.

I think most of the lichen has died due to the change in climate from where it was.

Bench with just two lap sash - non inertia reel type.

I reckon i could fix that door to a usable state. Matching it will be impossible if you replace.
