[Damozxr6]

hey all how ya doin?
new to au falcon. use to own a ba xr6 now the proud owner of an auII xr8 ute

[stevecro]

Hi, I'm Steve.
I just yesterday bought a low kilometre AU2 XLS manual ute and am hoping for many years of good service.
The company I bought it from is part of a car complex that has done a deal with IMPCO to fit LPG for only the $2,000 gov. rebate cost (no cost to new owner). So I pick it up for the agreed purchase price next weekend with a newly fitted LPG installation to make it a dual fueler. That was a pleasant surprise!

Welcome to new members.

Hi Damoz, nice to hear you ditched a B series for an AU! Usually it's the other way around these days.

Steve, great pickup with gas included! You must be happy about that.

Freddie, good to see you found this thread and said hello. Things are alright, went on an aufalcon.com cruise on the weekend that was fun (but a bit cold and wet).

im Quentin sometimes known as "the Q"
19, currently located in Wodonga, Moving back to sydney in late november
im yet to create an aufalcon.com membership, but its on my list!
im a mechanic with Australias travelling circus
driving a liquid silver auIIIfairmont. only mod is auIII xr8 wheels, and they only happened because they were a bargain at $550 with new tires, and i needed new tires....really badly.
i love AUs for what they are, low cost comfortable motoring
i was a holden man all my life, until i saw that AUs were almost half the price of similar holdens, and much nicer to live with. i took the plunge and bought it, havent looked back.
long live the AU!

[lofty]

Wow, a 19 year old who not only can spell, but is articulate. There is hope!

[fairmontau3]

haha i do try!

Hey everyone, new AU owner here!

Name is Shavone, 20 years old, just upgraded from my little nissan NXR (loved that car) and found myself owning an AU XR6 VCT. It's a series one, but I don't care all that much as it's still pretty awesome.

Car is factory apart from the previous owner changing the visors for fairmont ones (with mirrors in both) as well as a Ghia black leather gear shifter.

Has factory floor mats, factory 17's, electrics all round, white, auto and 153,000 kms, clear front and side repeaters

So far I've only changed the flasher relay and battery.

Tomorrow I'm going to put in the four new brake pads and rotors, and maybe in the near future upgrade the tail lights to series II or III (whichever has the orange part clear)

My dad is an avid Holden fan and was advising me not to buy an AU, but I took him for a drive and let him drive it after I bought it, and needless to say he has changed his minds about them (but I think the main thing he likes is the quad headlights! haha)

[daikin]

Hello fellow members. Its so good to see a site where everyone shares and contributes. My name is Robin, 25 residing in Cannington, WA and the proud owner of a AU3 Sedan since Oct 2008. She's a very reliable workhorse. I have no regrets treading the AU path and have not been disappointed for the last year. Looking to get my headlight covers replaced and polish her good very soon. I look forward to learning and sharing in the months to come. Have a good one.

[martyauxr8ute]

g'day, marty from bathurst. had my auII xr8 pursuit ute from new (galaxy, auto, series I wheels, stock everything). just recently discovered the forums while chasing up some parts. some great info to be found here, and generally a good vibe. look forward to talking with you all some more. cheers.

[Pilbara Ghia]

Hello, I am new to the forum and new to ford ownership(owned & still do a few from the other mob) I just purchased a AU1 Fairmont Ghia 5.0 litre not a bad car so far time will tell.

I live in the Pilbara WA and work in the mining caper.

It still feels a bit strange to be a ford owner after all these years but value for money the Ghia sold itself it will be used mainly as the second car for running around town and for work.

Im pretty sure I will be asking for advice and information about the car from time to time so hopefully I can contribute something of value later.

Take it easy
Reyno.

[Halfmo Rocks]

what's up?

My name is Adam, & i have a AUII futura sedan - 4.0 auto.

had the car for nearly 3 years, but just got real interested in it lately...modding has begun - black altezza tail's, woodgrain t-bar surround, chrome grill, blue LED's on the number plate, parkers & t-bar light

rego is soon, but more mods will follow after, when i can afford it...rims/suspension are #1 priority - looking foward to seeing some good stuff around here

[johnno3]

Hi
My name is Paul from Adelaide
I've just purchased a Liquid Silver AU II Futura 1 owner with 95K on the clock. Car is bone stock & in immaculate condition.
Its my first newish Ford vehicle after having had a couple of oldies as daily drivers. I still own a couple of the old Fords. Can't bring myself to part with them.
I've only had the AU a few weeks but love it already. I must admit that all the plumbing & electronics on this car make me nervous.
I've enjoyed this forum as a guest & thought I better join & hopefully I can contribute something as well as receive advice.
Cheers

[munchkin323]

Hey guys, my name is Shilo and I live near Morwell Vic. I have owned my 2000 Series I xr6 for approx 4 months now. It is liquid silver in colour, auto, has the full tickford body kit, tickford rims, xr6t intake, sport exhaust, dvd player and updated stereo, tinted tail lights and tinted windows.

The car has 230,000 on the clock and was/is used as a daily driver out in the country.

I have a few plans for the car, such as lowering it, getting some larger rims, extractors, and possibly some mild engine work if the money permits. So if anyone has these things of interest PM me...

[Patski]

Thought I'd introduce myself, have owned a 1999 Ford Falcon AU Futura for about a year and is going great. Plan to slowly do it up, only put a stereo system in it so far which is great. Will be posting here more often, and hopefully plan to get the exhaust done over the new few days.
