The wagon thread.

Wow YBHVE4, ouch!

This was my GEN3.
Took me 18 months to find it but finally did.
Was a 2002, Manual, RX special edition which gave it dual sunroof, different trim, climate, momo wheel and knob. All the bullshit. I put some 18inch wheels off a GEN4, borla extractors and a stereo. Was mint, then i sold it a year later, was getting a few klms on it. Got my money back, couldn't refuse that! Probably shouldn't clog the thread with non e-series' but on the Liberty topic here goes:

What is it? Just a gli with a kit or a proper xr wagon? More specs on it?

by **EFFalcon** » July 29th, 2009, 1:37 pm

i just hate the rear skirt on that wagon
it looks way to squared off

by **t1MMy** » July 29th, 2009, 3:32 pm

That was my favourite car on the night. Sits perfectly and looks awesome!

by **pHaT`eL** » July 29th, 2009, 4:44 pm

i think its a mock up XR outside with fairmont ghia inside. looks like it may have started as a Gli or Futura

My Wagon on display at the v8 supercars at Sandown.

by **MontXR** » August 14th, 2009, 4:45 pm

Just brought a complete El fairmont so we will be ripping the interior out of that over the next few weeks and slowly placing it in the EB.. Trying to find seats that i like... But atleast we got the Console, dash etc to start making the swap.. Seats will hopefully come one day soon.....

by **Phillis** » August 14th, 2009, 5:53 pm

been thinking- whats the difference between E-series rear suspension and post-AU?

would there be any benefit in swapping to a post AU rear end?

by **waghoonEF** » August 15th, 2009, 9:12 am

I was thinking the same thing, I have some rims with AU offset and was wondering if we can swap the diff from an au wagon :confused:

by **CHEETR** » August 15th, 2009, 9:16 am

wouldnt post au be IRS? anything before that was live axel wasnt it?

and that white el xr6 mockup is off the hook i love it and that rear skirt looks insain with that kit!

by **Bomber** » August 15th, 2009, 9:50 am

Nah Not in Ford Wagons they are all leaf springs mate, so all live axel.

by **CHEETR** » August 15th, 2009, 10:09 am

ahh yer my bad i was thinkin sedans for some reason.

wagons are based off the ute arn't they? hence the leaf springs

by **dans el v8 wagon** » August 16th, 2009, 10:46 am

Add me on to the wagon owners list and if there is a cruise and its local ill be there

by **Godzilla** » August 17th, 2009, 10:00 pm

Yeah add me too.

EA 3.9, 4 speed on LPG with close to 400,000km on it.

1 tranny at 180,000 and a head gasket at 200,000km.

A massive truck tranny cooler, conversion to EL thermo fans and a AU steel head gasket and bolts later and shes still running strong.

Forgot to mention a blown single spinner diff compliments of my son with his mates a few months ago, replaced with what im told is a rare leaf spring LSD.
The wreaker didnt realize it was LSD and sold it to me at the single spinner price.....loaded it up and paid real quick before taking off. :grin:

Would be intresting in the interest of AU offset and big brakes.

Oh, and EF XR6 5 speed with 350xxx kms :yahoo:

by **Commando** » August 19th, 2009, 8:08 am

I wonder if the leaf springs are any different in an AU-BF wagon compared to EF XR springs? I'm saying this because at work there's a spoon drain in the middle of the carpark, and if you cross it diagonally at anything above 10kph, the EF gets all roly-poly (motherfucker), whereas when I've driven BF wagons & utes at work they don't roll nearly as much, feel much more stable.

Then again maybe it's the kms on the car (370xxx). Now where's my silver medal :mrgreen:

by **EFFalcon** » August 19th, 2009, 8:40 am

maybe its more to do with the sway bar?

by **Commando** » August 19th, 2009, 8:55 am

You're probably right, I guess roly-poly action is more to do with the swaybar. My EF probably has a stretched-out coathanger for a swaybar.

Yeah that caught my attention too - nicely done but also agreen with John RE the rear bar - one of my pet peeves ever since CCS, SSV and all the places that make aftermarket kits...just didn't look right IMHO.

I had a wagon once upon a time...really should have kept her :oops:

A couple more pics of when she was more 'my baby' and not for sale :

Who is online
