Boy I miss my Black 4 Door XC 351, FMX Auto, 9 Inch rear, HO shaker, it was such a beast. Great vid, boys good to see someone is out saving these iconic cars. Ah well back to the rear suspension rebuild on the BA MK2 XR8 6 Speed Manual.
Always wondered what happened to this car good to see it ended up in your hands Mark. Was an old work colleagues car in the 90s. He only had it a couple years ended up flipping it for 1 tonne ute. Good job. 🤙
Hey Mark, great vid as per usual. I so wish, as do most blokes my age, wish I still owned all the cars I’ve owned. bloody amazing just what these classics are fetching, and I recon that’s a good thing. you can work on these old girls, you can use a hammer n dolly on them and not worry your gona bend ‘em, and make them cry.😂
The XC is looking good. That was an interesting hitch set up on the donor bumper. Nice exhaust up grade and I so love the wheels and the striking redwalls. I have a thing for redwall tyres. Love how you blended the paint. Primer never looks good plus pulls in moisture. I just love that XC Take care Mark thanks again for a good video. Watching progress on Dixon too Be well Bill in Fort Wayne Indiana USA
Love this n all its glory, looks fine the way it is, just something bout patina for me, idk but looks so good🙌💯 love the small little details, wish there were more older fords/holdens around here in nz, keep up the great work mark✌️😊
As usual you smashed it Mark..my dad bought brand new the same colour 4.9 litre Fairmont GXL from the dealer in March 78, I was with him. Yes, the car is best to be kept exactly how it is a “Survivor Car”it’s worth every dollar you are asking.
A mate of mine was telling me about a guy that has a mint Red Pepper XA GT - RPO83 with 40 odd thousand on the clock that has been covered and garaged and not seen daylight for over 40 years. Now that'd be a nice one to get hold of. I wonder what it'd be worth today.
I love the look Mark well done :) keep up the good work. Tho I think you should get that F truck in the shed instead of the paddock of broken dreams LOL.
Hey bro, can you please give me both front & rear Bathurst Globe rim sizes and the tyre sizes. Im restoring an XD V8 barn door Spac panel van only two were made as evaluation units in Feb 1980
Great vid and man that XC looks flash. For 25 grand that's an absolute bargain. Also, as someone who grew up with Rotties and hardcore, every time Judge pops up in your vids it makes me smile, he's a magnificent Rottie. The youth crew pup haha.
Mate I wish I was cashed up like .Got one for nothing but 4 speed locked up.Towed it up the road to 80kmh 3rd gear away it went .Bit nicer yellow bonnet scoops bucket seats.Before the rip off easy money a holes that stuffed it for honest blokes
Great job cleaning her up bro shes a sweet ride. As usual another mad video. Whats that old car u were sitting in at the start? If its ur car could u do a walk around vid on it one day please bro?
Great content as usual mark I only watch your show and a guy called backshed you both have similar content and very helpful tips for us backyard guys keep up the great work mate 👍
Awesome video mate. I watched it with my 4 month old, explaining things to him (that he doesnt understand yet obviously), but I guess there is no age limit on mechanical creative thinking, and science!
Black sills warning Will Robison. 25k is a big ask when it will cost more than that to have 8 out 10 car.Body work is the big cost unless you have real talent.Very few good bodymen..
I always throw away them grandpa body molds. Ruins the look of any car. And that aircon and power steering also. I went manual steering as the power steering was so hopeless I had to do 3 point turns at roundabouts as never could go threw one in first go. Aircons where a joke at best either worked or was like blowing threw straw.
A great looking patina XC. Well done, Mark.
Nice ol XC Mark will make a great project car for someone. Good to see another one saved
