Whats your dream project?

by **vegabass** » June 26th, 2011, 7:02 pm

I know people on here who have an interest in more than just falcons, personally I like many brands and cars from different eras. Lately I have been thinking that I should use my falcons for what they were intended for and have a project to fulfill my tinkering addiciton.

Whats your dream project? Im not talking about a super unrealistic car such as a new lambo or Bugatti either, could be a XY GT or a Mini cooper.

Persoanally this is mine, A 1958 MGA it just stirs my emotions.

Could throw in a v8

I'd love to build an E46 M3 drifter :drinks2:

or
Another Sparkling Burgandy EL Ghia with DOHC turbo conversion, coilovers, big brakes, body colour centred FR19's (19x8 front, 19x10 rear) and custom cream leather interior

Dream? Any old school V8 ford touring car eligible to race at the touring car masters.. John Bowes mustang would be nice

by **nstg8a** » June 26th, 2011, 7:37 pm

id love to build a gt40, but do it with modern driveline, so i can use it as a daily. so aircon, stereo, 400kw+. everything a daily needs.

by **Jake** » June 26th, 2011, 8:38 pm

I'd love to re-spray my EF ghia in a nice deep shiny black, nice and low how it is now, something similar to BA XT SR 17" wheels, or the BF mkII ghia wheels, 6 speed manual, V8 super charged, re-trim the leather... I reckon that would make a smick cruiser.

by **DJV8T5** » June 26th, 2011, 9:26 pm

My dream is to build an NA/NC/DA/DC, Burnt Orange colour, Territory Turbo/F6X Driveline, airbags, 20s, all the trimmings...

I will do it, its just how long it takes for me to find the good donors to suit the build :grin:

by **Commando** » June 26th, 2011, 9:26 pm

Pre-'67 Beetle. Can't decide on what style, either a period resto, or something different (turbo rotary?)

by **sexyr6** » June 26th, 2011, 9:42 pm

This is what I want:

Yellow and cream XM wagon would be pretty sweet.

by **vegabass** » June 26th, 2011, 11:04 pm

Post up some pics of your dreams, this is what this thread is all about....

Some cool cars also :drinks2:

by **InfernalTyrant** » June 26th, 2011, 11:07 pm

Tasty.

by **OZBMX** » June 26th, 2011, 11:28 pm

Hmm, well a couple people I've told this to I'd love my ranchwagon on the road still lookin fairly plain jane rough overall, bit rough, bit low, but bags, spark blocks under the ass, and a stupid amount of power up front, so you can cruise along the highway at a 100, knock it back a gear, dump the ass crabbwalking sideways throwing sparks and smoke in a massive 20ft unkept looking wagon, just something that looks out there, but still trips people out when it reacts.
I may get it on the road, but may never do the power side of things, but hey you never know.
As what I'd want would be the most I could get out of fitting under that hood, no blowers out the bonnet, although dropping crossmembers and modifying inner guards substantially wont be out the question. even tiwn turbo/blowers etc. would be considered

by **nstg8a** » June 26th, 2011, 11:33 pm

actually ive always wanted a widebody starion, but with modern evo motor. everything else can stay stockish.

gotta love factory 9.5 inch rims in the 80s...

by **InfernalTyrant** » June 26th, 2011, 11:36 pm

Would also LOVE an XC Cobra!

by **LUXO_8** » June 26th, 2011, 11:48 pm

XR falcon or fairmont for me. Just basic oldschool cool including bench seats and venetians but with injected windsor and 4 speed auto. Just a pretty basic but cool cruiser.

That or a HR Holden done in the same cruiser style with a VL Turbo motor

by **dylby1** » June 27th, 2011, 12:12 am

1970 chevy chevelle ss

by **JETEL6** » June 27th, 2011, 12:27 am

BMW E30 M3, i wish to live the dream haha

get in my garage already...

by **EF ECTIV** » June 27th, 2011, 1:40 am

Any of these options would suit me Im not too picky:

A modern day Twin Turbo GT from the USA

to build a XY similar to Gonzo's big block (runs high 8s)

or a sweet early gen Camaro in either style;

Or a Eleanor Mustang with a DART blocked, alloy headed turbo

by **edxr6t** » June 27th, 2011, 9:38 am

My dream car would be and original xy gt or a ZC fairlane 2dr 351 v8 twin turbo as a powercruiser would be perfect in deep metallic blue or matte black

by **EL302** » June 27th, 2011, 9:54 am

John almost got my dream project, I'd either have to get a 93 GT hatch or notch back mustang

Or left field
a Sunbeam Alpine

by **EFFalcon** » June 27th, 2011, 11:55 am

mmmm.. theres another nice fox tbird on ebay at the moment, if i didnt have mine, i'd so buy it

by **92EBFAIRMONT** » June 27th, 2011, 12:47 pm

My dreams

I don't know why, but I just love Crown Victorias

I'll get 'em all one day....

by **EFFalcon** » June 27th, 2011, 12:50 pm

I'd happily park a GNX next to my tbird.

by **92EBFAIRMONT** » June 27th, 2011, 1:16 pm

Yeah, it's on the top of my list, but there were only a little over 400 made so they are scarce and expensive :evil:

But I still find one one day

by **Troutman** » June 27th, 2011, 1:24 pm

Definitely a Crown Vic - I can even forgive it for being the Caprice's arch rival in Persian Gulf regions until its discontinuation.

Either a '77 LTD or WB Caprice.

But above all, something like this:

The easy way to do what I want would be to buy a pre-modified 11 second XR6T secondhand and proceed to fit bumpers, skirts, wheels etc from an XT. :mrgreen:

by **superhuS!** » June 27th, 2011, 2:52 pm

I want a Cutty. On bags and ceptors.

or my DC LTD back. Pearl white, 20" Gold daytonas, bags, massive fuckoff V8, 9" rear end and a C4.

by **AaronEF8** » June 27th, 2011, 5:11 pm

I'd love to build a GT40 MKIV style with an alloy blocked TT Windsor and a Gulf-Western paintjob.
A Greens-Tuf mockup with a turbo 429 Windsor, and a 70's Rolls-Royce Corniche or Silver Shadow with an LSx motor, whitewalls and the suspension replaced with a normal airbag setup.

by **Michael (HYPOEB)** » June 27th, 2011, 5:36 pm

TD cortina with the motor thats going in my EB.

by **Another_ef** » June 27th, 2011, 7:20 pm

I'd love to build a turbo 4l ke70 and keep it street legal

thats a dream hahahaha

Either that or a clean rolls royce phantom, flat black, dished 22's black centre polished lip, jett black tint and a nasty motor, and drive it everyday

by **vegabass** » July 3rd, 2011, 3:57 pm

Is anyone's dream project a EL XR6 or a EF 5.0 Fairmont wagon? I need to cash to buy my MGA!

by **superhuS!** » July 3rd, 2011, 4:05 pm

by **Duffman** » July 3rd, 2011, 7:35 pm

mine varies, im one of the lucky few who can say ive built my dream car, for the last few yrs ive wanted a 350rwkw EL

as a teenager i always wanted a Godzilla with a RB26/30... which is probly why theres one of them in the build in my workshop lol
i also wanted a XB coupe, a A9X and a Black Pearl EB XR8 wen i was about 12. owned one of those too

by **EFFalcon** » July 3rd, 2011, 8:14 pm
