That's a top score for only a grand, shame about the rear window but accidents happen. Maybe you could paint it an early 70's colour like wild plum or wild violet would certainly make it stand out. I'm getting old because I remember when the AU's came out but I didn't like the shape at first though having viewed your channel and also compared to modern day cars the shape now really appeals to me. Anyway thanks again and best of luck with this new project.
Yeah was a absolute score, I’ve already got a new widow ready to be checked in so it’ll be back to normal soon 😁 I’m still very undecided on what colour to do the car but we’ll see I suppose 🤷🏻 and yes the au is a very strange looking car and I was also once someone who hated them but after owning one they really grew on me and now I think they are the best looking car ever made right after the bmw e34 that is 😉
is it possible to get a replacement back window from wreckers yard ? maybe the window had some existing defect that it only needed a light impact to cause the shatter..
We have all made mistakes mate? Unfortunately i have pretty much done similar things too myself. Please do look after yourself anyway. As best you can. From, William Mount Gambier South Australia. Alex, one thing I do like about this car Fairmont Ghia is the fact it is in the same Narooma Blue as mine.
😂😂 if something ain’t pissing u off your doing something wrong in the mechanical world maté every one has a good day and a bad one at least he did take it out on who was around him there is worse shit then taking your frustration out on a car iv done the same was replacing front wheel bearings on my au xr and had to move it 30 seconds later by myself and smacked the front window and same shit happened I was going to replace front and rear window anyway because of painting it and the rubber was fked on both front and back I actually wouldn’t mind seeing this in two tone metallic pink on top and purple on the bottom
@@Jessiemuggleton if you are lacking the emotional maturity to keep your cool whilst performing basic mechanical work on a car you are not going to cope very well in a more serious situation. I advise you to work on your temper, it is in your best interest. Loving the content keep it up👍
@@Flanklin. I don’t think it’s got anything to do with maturity mate, working on cars doesn’t always go as planned it can be frustrating at time I don’t expect you to understand as you obviously don’t have a temper like I do but it’s not that easy to control something 🤷🏻 that’s just how it is
you got tooooo muuuchhhh mooonnnneeey mate another AU surprise. Nice color's are Vixen red or a sparkling burgundy.
I just like au falcons what can I say 🤷🏻🤣🤣
What a fucking steal!!! Fucking love it man, what a car.
Yeah ain’t bad for a pig

S2/3 xr front end with s1 side and rear body kit Cadbury purple with 20” bronze vertini RF 1.7s 👌👌👌
I’m not looking to spend a fortune on it it’s just a bomb 🤣🤣
Damn bro I thought you was in a shootout! Colour has to be plum purple blackish
🤣🤣 yeah defs, yeah not a bad colour choice
Nice set of Tick-ford rims But for the colour would look Mad as a phantom purple and lower it
There. Not tickford wheels there just crappy sharkfins, a few people have said purple, the car is already lowered
@@Jessiemuggleton needs a nice set of tickfofd rims
@@Ryan_Leighto maybe
gunmetal grey
Maybe
Any clips on how to clean the oil pump/removal of oil pump/sump
Unfortunately not sorry
need a new video showing us some of your progress
Yeah when I’ve got the time I’ll be making some more content on this car

I’ve got a parts car I can take the window from
cadbury purple with a gold or sliver flec. would look sweet
That’s not a bad idea
That’s actually not a bad idea
Ah yes, the wheel I saw in the club you got so much hate for
Yup 🤣🤣 ain’t my problem idc lol
@@Jessiemuggleton for real, some people are just assholes
@@da_plagu3doctor140 yeah 🤷🏻 they just waisted there time trying to put in there input
I feel like painting it cobalt blue and a ticky kit?
Don’t think I’d bother putting a tickford kit on it, the car is only gonna be a cheap fun car don’t wanna spend good money on good parts for a sh*tbox
@@Jessiemuggleton yeah fair point
@snapped4433 yeah lol 🤷🏻
We have all made mistakes mate?

Do more videos on the vs wagon or do a update on it
I don’t have that car anymore, I regretfully sold it

Wow. You need to work on your temper, that's really bad. I'm glad you are going to fix it up and not take the easy way out this time.
Sh*t happens 🤷🏻🤣
