99 XH Panelvan!

Hey all.. new here, hail from tassie! I'm a regular at XFalcon.com and own a variety of cars! My latest is to become my new daily and theres some photos of my other cars and projects.

The XH just passed the tassie rego inspection (sif thats hard :lol:) its as stock as they come, and will most likely stay that way, although i wouldn't mind knowing if an xh xr6 or 8 dash is as plug and play as swapping an xf standard dash for a ghia or spak one.. 236xxxkms with duel factory fuel etc.. Column shift auto, bench seat, tow pack, lsd. bullbar is staying because i can't be bothered replacing the front bar

something i've been toying with, after a few years maybe a 5 litre conversion. but thats time and money that i dont currently have.

the old daily next to the new daily. old daily has a blown head gasket (we think) but cleaned up well after 3 years of dirt was washed off.. anyways, we have a possible buyer for the old daily should help pay rego and insurance for the new bus

Image

and some of my other toys ;)

if anyone could help me out with the dash question let me know!

You can plug in a Fairmont/XR cluster into your Pano, but, you'll need to wire a resistor onto the board if its a mont cluster (documentation available). I dunno how the wiring is in Pano's, but at the very worst you'll need to wire in the oil pressure and volt meter gauges, no real drama though.
Other than that the cluster should be plug n play.

XF looks tuff too :cool: , Coupe looks like a massive project!
