reading ur post reminded me of my shocking cut and polish on the weekend
shade was my enemy
couldn't tell half the time where id but polish
so after id finished there were patches where the paint job looked as if some scum was on it

Waitng for some wheels to come up from Sydney to throw on the XP...

parawolf · 06-10-2005, 04:23 PM

My car is currently parked in the driveway and gets about 20km a week. Tuesday so I can go play volleyball and Sunday to a mates place for pizza with the boys...

It's waiting for a new owner to hopefully come along and enjoy my pride and joy... Don't need such a big car to do so little km's.

Mine's sitting in a carpark at bowden railway station because i'm too tight to pay for parking in the city.

XR Davo · 06-10-2005, 05:10 PM

The VCT has just had diff rebuilt and new 2 1/2" exhaust to pass rego. Getting new front rotors and pads put on tommorrow (nothing special just standard stuff). Spent a too many $$'s on her lately. Think clutch may need some attention soon too. Happy days.

Nevermind · 06-10-2005, 06:00 PM

The Ute is sitting in the garage being unloved, waiting for some new globes for the head lights, and for two days to be up so I can wind the window down because of the new tint.

EA - sitting in my driveway getting rained on.
PA - in the garage covered
Victor - outside under a car cover

**Falcon Coupe** · 06-10-2005, 07:34 PM

GT- On blocks in the shed, just had toploader removed and replaced it with C6 auto and 5000rpm convertor, have bought a MSD 6al ignition box with rpm limiter, just waiting on a few more $ to buy a B&M shifter and a couple of other bits to get it back on the road and see what it's like to drive as an auto, then add msd retard module and see how it goes on n2o

out:

Damo · 06-10-2005, 07:36 PM

EA - getting flogged all over the place. Will be selling or wrecking it soon.
EB - In the garage on stands awaiting the new clutch, would have had it back together tonight but Ford didn't have a spigot bearing in stock. Once it's back on the road i'll look at getting the bottom end rebuilt, then dump it on it's *** and enjoy driving it.

b2tf · 06-10-2005, 07:40 PM

Focus - covered in dust (why do i bother washing it)

AUII - covered in dust behind Focus (it aint mine so i dont wash it, only drive it)

Having front springs reset by 15-20 mm by the spring makers down the road from work
Change oil, repaint hubs and do the calipers with POR 15 silver paint

Ryan · 06-10-2005, 09:04 PM

The VL just came back from a major tune up which cost almost $1500.

ProjectXR · 06-10-2005, 09:13 PM

Focus - Outside geting dusty and dirty

XC - Garaged, awaiting new hand hand brake, new radiator & hoses, tyres, brake pads, rust repairs, shockies, bushes, swaybars and minor engine work so i can get it up and road worthy.

WizBang · 07-10-2005, 01:00 AM

XH - Saving for a new paint job (same colour ,white )and over due for service
Focus - I don't know whats wrong with that as it runs like crap when cold ,but I'll just wash it and see if that will fix it

loxxr6 · 07-10-2005, 01:02 AM

Au gathering dust - as it seems almost futile to wash when it's parked next to a highway. Its also patiently waiting for a recently purchased turbo to get put on.

MITCHAY · 07-10-2005, 01:03 AM

Mines just had major service and back rotors machined. Next thing I'm doin is getting the power windows fixed when i can be bothered. Hopefully will have a new car start of, or by mid next year.

Feathers · 07-10-2005, 10:23 AM

My BA is currently at the local Ford dealer, awaiting the arrival of their motor trimmer to repair the dodgy seams in the back seat.
Also getting the gearknob and boot replaced as they are damaged.
And the best part is that Ford are paying for it!!

My XD is sitting at our bus depot still in a million pieces, and hasn't been touched for about 3 years. I'll get to it eventually....

My other XD Ghia got sold last week, to a friend of my Dad's who is going to run it into the ground until he kills it like he did his last car.
This makes VERY angry, and he'd better stay the hell away from me, or I'm going to let him know about it.

Melz · 07-10-2005, 09:10 PM

I thought i would post a pic of my xb in its current state, i was lucky damage was cosmetic and all the bolt on bits, so i ripped them off (or they fell off)and am looking for replacements. The chrome bumper i put back on has a slight dint in it but will do for now and i need new headlight over moulds, bumper got pushed back in and damaged them, couldn't have asked for better timing, i was running out of things to do

LUXO_8 · 07-10-2005, 09:14 PM

my NC is finally getting some performance mods... ive decided owning it for 3 years standard is enough lol

had the auto serviced and shift kitted last week,
ive got another engine which is being rebuilt as a 347 stroker, gettting exhaust finished next week as well hopefully.
also, should get the 3.45 lsd fitted shortly as well
then thats about it!.... slowly do up the outside after that i guess

XAGSV8 · 07-10-2005, 09:28 PM

XA - Sitting in garage waiting for a drive.

Mini - Currently getting a ground up restoration and at the panel beaters with engine/gearbox in the machanics. Will post pics eventually. Spending probably ten thousand with me doing most of the work.

Pulsar - Engine going but my crappy daily driver. (It has aircon which is a requirment in Rockhampton)

Kenaz · 08-10-2005, 10:35 AM

Not much is happening with my EL (see sig) at the moment. There is a problem with the tailshaft clunking, so I need to get that looked at. It's serving me well as a daily driver.

FRDMSL · 08-10-2005, 06:18 PM

The XE is sitting in the garage collecting dust waiting for engine to be rebuilt. Its been public transport for me for the last couple of months :(

fatxagt · 08-10-2005, 06:44 PM

Mt GT is safely stored in my grandmothers garage while i work in Cairns for a bit. I want to drive it so bad, especially when bathurst is on. It could use a cobweb cleanout, any offers?

PH47 · 08-10-2005, 07:36 PM

My merc is getting the gearbox and engine pulled out, then we can size it all up for the BA I6 to go in.. and if all goes well and I get the thumbs up from the guys doing the conversion for me, i'll find an engine and start buying the bits and pieces I need to do it all early next year.

For now though.. just driving the little laser around and trying to save up every cent.

The MaDDeSTMaN · 08-10-2005, 08:58 PM

My car is waiting for the NW dyno day before I get the extractors and exhaust fitted - I want to find out what it's putting out as it is now before I do anything to improve it's power. Then after that, on go the extractors and exhaust, give it a good tune, and then bring it down to the AFF Vic dyno day to see how it goes.

Other then that, waiting until I've got the spare $ to get two new tyres so I can put on my 15" alloys.

Being on such a tight budget bites :(

AUsome · 08-10-2005, 08:59 PM

I just handed the keys of my car over to a mate at 6:43pm yesterday arvo.... :(

XR_Strider_GuY · 08-10-2005, 09:10 PM

My XR is under going a bowdens style restoration lol. Just had her professionally detailed and then washed. I haven't driven it in 2 weeks.

Casper · 08-10-2005, 09:12 PM

Mines sitting in the garage gathering dust (well, more dust).
