yeah plans are for stroker eventually, but cant see it happening too soon, its a pretty good cruiser ATM, and it moves fairly well when i want it too...

Looks tough man, the FR's set it off nicely too. What kind of power is it making?

to be honest i dont know what it makes now, before the exhaust, tfc and rebuild of carb it was making like 129rwkw, running like a dog and not revving past 4500, now at a guess comparing to mates cars i would say around 170ish... not a monster by anyones standards, but enough for me... not like there is anywhere in canberra that you can use it.....

love it.. same as mine, XD with XE ghia front.

are your drop spindles the ones that use HQ brakes? or all original ford gear

drop spindles are original CRS ones that use hq brakes, i found that hq brakes are absolute shite and when i could handle no more i upgraded(if you could call it that) to HZ calipers. they still use falcon discs, and im led to believe that if you contact hoppers stoppers or similar you can actually get brackets that are part of an upgrade kit for HQ-Z that allows use of the VT twin piston caliper... yet to try it but on my to do list

nice

heres a few pics of the boot









and gave her a good clean after repainting all the blackouts around the windows and fitting new chrome to the driprails around the top... went for a bit of a drive and got some good photos

Good to see you made it on here! YOU FORGOT THE GLIMMER DRIVE! I can hear that noise 3 streets away!

Throw up some pics of the other wheels

heres a couple of photos of my "backup wheels" 19x8 lenso speed6 , this was just a quick spray to see what they look like, will get them powder-coated soon

that filter is waaaaayyyyyyy out there hahaha. yeah tight gilmer belts make some noise... i used to swing off the thing to tighten my old car years ago when i took it to powercruise.. i just wanted that blower belt whine lol

Cage is tough.

Ah and that TL50 in front of it sounds freakin tuff as well!

this is a VERY nice example of an xd, top work mate,

Looks the goods mate
