[TriymeD]

epic for time frame

fail for 2 grand rims on $250 bomb!

[CaRtZ]

thats fikken awesome in my opinion! talk about a backflip turn around not to mention a relativley cheap project which will stay that way due to the lpg. 3 votes! makes me wish that my XF wagon wasnt off to the wreckers

[Kyle the ED4LTR]

no................just no.....................

[Parfrey]

looks pretty good i rekon... could be alot worse.
its damn low too!

[Sunboost]

A+ for time frame and work but you really can't polish a turd.

[t1MMy]

Its a fail. And here is the guy that drives it.

If the paint job is anything like a mini truck hes got, its actually house enamel paint that's been used.

[Commando]

I liked it in both pics

But in the "after" pic, it'd be better with pinstriping & venetians. Looks great shaved!

[Grechie]

sweet as rims ill give him that

[Parfrey]

oh ok then... thats not much chop
still better than it was, but its an xf

[EF ECTIV]

A+ for the time frame thats for sure...

the paint reminds me of a ford courier that does the rounds over
here, imagine if he started with something decent in the 1st place...

You mean this

[Phoenix]

as everyone said, A for effort, and amazingly small time frame for the turnaround, but still not a fan of the final product.

Yes! It really needs a contrasting pinstripe to seperate the colours, that is the main reason it looks a bit hobo.

I much prefer that to an E-Series with clear tail-lights.

[EF ECTIV]

nah frost thats not the one... similar though...

[[D1SCNT]]

thing looks sik as i dunno what u tripper's are trippin on.

[Frost]

nah frost thats not the one... similar though...

[EF ECTIV]

[Frost]

I'm picturing a really red copper colour (metallic rather than flat or gloss)

I don't understand why XFs are hated so much. You can't kill them, the 250 has about 3 moving parts in it (made from stone too), the interior can not only survive a Gerni hose-out but THRIVE from it, and if you dig deep enough at the local tip you're guaranteed to find replacement panels.

[Dansedgli]

And with shaved door handles the amount of things to break reduces substantially.

That being said, mini trucks and their family wagon wannabe's are fucking gay.

I heard cavemen invented XFs a day or two after the wheel?

[XRated]

I think XDs were carved out of stone.... Or a giant turd.

Whaddya mean after the wheel?

The only downside to XFs are that many of them fall under Native Title. So modding/moving the bastards is made difficult, & you need to "employ" (pay) a local one-percenter to tell you that it's:

A) fine & that the mark running down the door & rear 1/4 is just from some scummer keying it at the Oakleigh East station, or that
B) you need to bury it because it's a Dreamtime depiction of the Rainbow Serpent & that he has an ancestrol link to this XF. (Coincidentally, if it's option B, you'll also be asked for the key to the lockable fuel cap. Also his old man happens to hang around Oakleigh East station a fair bit)

[SgtBourne]

so much time and energy wasted

[XRated]

Does he walk around in thongs mumbling a lot and stink like alcohol?

[five point slow]

The first thing that we gotta do is get another car, cos the on sitting out the front wont even fucking start, we'll call that bloke again from the government he's alright hey.

Lol "livin next door to Alan" .

And no hes not a bogan, just has some weird tastes.

[KR1STO]

i actually dont mind how the XF turned out.. kinda always had a spot spot for XF's.. I've had 3 ghia's and they've never let me down..

[UNEZED]

that xf looks pretty good and for the time it was done you cant complain about that

[Frost]

hes appently putting a 351 in it.

[YBHVE4]

I personally think its not bad. any old ford saved from the wreckers is good in my eyes.

Guess what? It is a photoshop. The edging around the wheel arches is not correct, not to mention the sun on the windscreen and the shadows being incorrect. to top it off the white car behind that you can see through the rear windows has not been distorted correctly.

But for a photoshop it is still a Epic Fail

[Frost]

I'm willing to bet your car on its not fake Gunns. If I prove it isnt you can hand over the keys.

[Dezza]

If it was photoshopped, you'd think they'd at least remove the scratches from the front bumper, and the notches in the bottom. (actually if they were going to respray, they should have replaced the bumper anyway)

[Commando]

I'm willing to bet your car on that Frost

[Gunns]

Yes i am willing to bet your car its a fake. Please provide more than one photo of the car in its finished state and I will hand you your car back.

[AaronEF8]

If its a photoshop, he did a pretty good job of the reflection in the puddle.

Haha that's what I was thinking. And the shadow... And the sun reflection...
