Boosted Falcon

Maybe Im getting old, but i figured its time to get sensible and just go for a stock car on gas thats a bit tidy.

Picked this up from a previous forum member for a decent price so its time to make it look like mine!

Came with the venetians, 1 year old Impco LPG system, lowered front springs and 2" blocks, cargo barrier and aftermarket roof racks.

Small things to note are the deleted rear wiper arm and spray nozzle, as well as the missing front Ford badge. Also, I DID NOT put the black on the sides!!

When I first got it home.



Stage one of tidy up meant removing stickers and tape residue, as well as the black paint from where a vent once was.


After a quick wash for RWC.


This is how it sits now. Put some King SL springs in the front, will leave the blocks in the rear for now until I get the leafs reset.


Things to do on the outside include a decent buff, some EL Ghia side moulds and indicators and some whitewalls As well as a bit of a dump tip for the exhaust.

And heres a pic of the 2 wagons together.

looks good man, is that the 225 impco set up?

planning on putting a standard EF front bar back on with the ford badge?

apart from that, how did the engine change go?

also, dont forget the LPG stickers so the cops can't book ya for not having them

yeah, just the 225. Currently not running on gas, will change coil/leads/etc and get it serviced and tuned

didnt end up changing the engine, runs pretty good

will put stickers on when its registered

needs more low.

Did that belong to Dkyboy or something?

Liking the shiny stockies pete... that black stripe is shocking will look good once its gone. Looks pretty tidy must admit i prefer the look of an ef el wagon over eb... but the 302 i loved the sound of that thing... i still say stop trying to be responsible.. fix the gasket and drop the 5.0 back in!

Yeah it was dkyboys , i think he thought the engine was buggered so sold it cheap?
i like it

looks good man i bet u will miss the angry wagon though

Your so gonna miss the EB and get bored with this The EB sounded good but I wont miss getting headaches from it and bouncing all over the place lol.

The body and paint on this is so much better then the EB, I'm sure you'll get it fixed up and looking good soon enough

Yeah, he said the motor was cactus. Im guessing it just hasnt been run on petrol for a while, been driving it while the LPG is playing up a bit, obviously Ive cleaned out whatever shit was in there, seems to drive pretty fine now? Meh!

Im looking at it this way, cheap car to run = save more money = get something decent (non e-series) in a few years

Blasphemy.

Wagon now features registration

Also got EL Ghia moulds and clear repeaters, just waiting to find some EL Monty wagon rear side moulds and get them painted up

NIce work looks good pete, keep up the good work

nice wagon i like it your bringing the car back to a MINT condition as it should be

lol.. getting there

Looking good Pete, hurry up and lose that crap down the sides!

A wagon on LPG can still be tough!!!

Chuck a T5 in it. That will liven it up!

Cheers

Are you ever gonna put a kit on it? Just thinking out loud, but I imagine BA XR skirts would be a similar length to the sills on this?

nah, BA skirts are too short
they're in between sedan and wagon.

Bugger. I guess the ute skirts would be too long then.

too long is easier to fix then too short

Ute skirts are 2 piece

No kit on it, just leaving it neat and tidy really

Heres how she sits atm. Pics from Joel @ CVE Dyno Day




My EL Monty rear dog leg moulds arrived today, so just gotta paint them up and get them on. Then just tidy up where the black is still showing on the doors and shes sweet!

its getting better and better everytime i see it

2nd pic makes it look so high cos the camera is pretty much on the ground

lol yer, 1st pic is good though except for the tip ahaha needa cut it back so u cant see it or put a nice tip on it

thats pretty mint.

nice pete, looking sweet.

Yeah, will end up with a tip that sits flush with the bar

Heres a pic Pearly took aswell.


Dogleg moulds and clear NL repeaters on there way.

Just need to decide whether to get white mirrors or not..

do white mirrors man and paint the panel bits on the back near the rear window white too

Looks banger !!

Needs black fixing up ASAP. Otherwise looks nice and neat Pete!

pete reading yor signature... i gotta ask.... why did you ever sell the el!!??

He needed a wagon
although the EL was nice

Yeah, I do regret selling it, but I can always build another one one day.

i reckon you should do the B, C, D pillars satan black just to break up the white,

looks heaps better since you got it dude, doing well man

I know the EB sounded better, but I like this wagon so much better! Just feels so clean and tidy

Love it mate! A few bits fixed up here and there and it should be sweet! Is there a link to all the photos Pearly took on the day?

XR Front!
