Hey guys I have been reading these forums for a while now so I thought its about time I introduce myself and my rides. First is my 79 XD which I bought in 1994 when I was 18 it was my first car and in my opinion the XD is the best of the Aussie Fords so I will always hang on to this one. It was a 6 cylinder auto in Fairmont trim when I got it and since then I have done the V8 conversion added power steering and also done a manual (toploader of course) conversion. 10 years after being built the old 351 clevo is still pumping out 400 plus horsepower and embarassing late model high performance cars. It does need a freshen up as you can see from the pics but I won't be touching it until I have finished with my current project which brings me to my other ride which is a 74 XB Falcon and GT wannabe.
I am a huge fan of the XBs which I think is one of the toughest looking muscle cars around and I have wanted one like this for a long time. I am in the process of restoring it as best I can. This will include a full respray and fully rebuilt 393 cleveland stroker hopefully around 500HP.
I hope by posting in these forums I will be able to get some advice from the experienced ford people here and maybe someone will be able to pick up some ideas from what I am doing with my cars
Cheers
Ryan
