by **Bomber** » February 12th, 2008, 11:52 am

Still unsure if im going to keep it or not it is a rare one but not something thats gonna be worth much.

by **Dansedgli** » February 12th, 2008, 12:27 pm

by **Bomber** » February 14th, 2008, 8:07 am

Well I should be getting the RWC today wasnt a hell of a lot that needed doing, it will be getting rego tomorrow.

If I keep it wouldnt mind doing gt40Ps, explorer manifold and a cam for a bit of a freshen up.

by **Bomber** » February 14th, 2008, 10:21 pm

Well RWC has been obtained and will be taking it in for registration tomorrow

Been thinking it needs less high might wack in some lowering blocks and new springs.

yeah these engines need those heads/intake. i got all this sittin in my garage but am waiting til i twin turbo it before i use them, but im half tempted to fit them now to see what my engine can do naturally aspirated!

by **Bomber** » February 14th, 2008, 10:27 pm

Well I decided to call Ford and get some numbers on how many of these Wagons were built and according to them There was 2 5.0L EBI Fairmont Ghia Wagons and 26 5.0L EBII Fairmont Ghia Wagons Built so its pretty rare and the Vin checks out and its definitly one of the 26 and has not been badged. Gonna get some more pics up this arvo.

by **Bomber** » April 25th, 2008, 1:16 pm

Well the auto was pretty wack in the wagon as some members had experienced it was down to a 2 speed with reverse about a month or so ago so it was time to get another 4spd for her thanks to Tezza Bear and his 5L eb ghia being parted i got the auto and wacked it in after removing the old shitter was a bit of a feat BTRs weight a ton but its all in. at 10pm last night went to turn her over and nothing all relays worked an power was there just starter motor wasnt kicking over, walked away for the night before i went to bed and talking to Rollin it twigged the starter runs off the gas relay and the damn wire had falled of the relay put her back on and she started straight away, topped up the auto with some fluid and she now is cruising sweet and shifting smoth as silk and we have all gears now!!!!

I can honestly say without hesitation Bomber, this has to be the only showroom thread I've ever seen with pov pics from start the start of the thread to the end of it, after being active for almost 7 months!

by **Dansedgli** » June 11th, 2008, 2:04 pm

How is this build going?

Any mods done yet?

by **Bomber** » June 11th, 2008, 2:58 pm

Just a BA xr8 airbox, a pod filter and some vanitians in the rear.

by **Bomber** » June 11th, 2008, 3:00 pm

meh man its a daily my eforts are going into the AU

by **Commando** » June 11th, 2008, 4:46 pm

So is it "in the build" as a future/to-be project, or simply remaining as a daily with minimal future changes? Want the threads merged Mark?
