    What colour is it? My brother had a XB Falcon (ie Mad Max shape) but it was in Switzerland last I heard. There's less than 10 XBs in the UK now IIRC.

    A 72 is an XA though- I think XBs were 73 on.

    Talking to a guy at Ford Fair with a XB GT351, he said the Falcon club in Oz valued his car at about £65k; they crazy money now.

    Hi carl, no not mine its a customers falcon. 351 v8 motor. Not sure on exact model as its had a front end conversion to the twin round head lights. Beast of a car


    New rear section for the car. The dual 2.5" system was too big and ment for shody responce. Just finished fabbing up the new single exit muffler. which now goes from dual 2" long primary manifold into 2.5" collector then its coned up to 3" for the rear section. Job done. Looks way more aggressive too so just waht i wanted really.

    Cheers, seems to have taken far too long. Wasnt supposed to be off the road as long as it has been! Just a few body bits and paint really now. Still running the motor in and im sure there will be tweaks along the way.... Still slowly but surely.

    That looks like it's come out really well! Good work on the exhaust too, it's not in your face, it's just nice.

    Video of it running now then? :p

    I know that feeling dude. When the turbos went on my rx a quick let's sort that turned into an epic 18 month build all for it to shit itself 24 hours after mapping. Lol. Stunning project though dude and really looking forward to seeing the finished article.

    All of this so far it ply. Easiest medium to mock this kind of thing up in before doing it in ally.

    Wing mounts placed either side of the number plate:

    All the peices fitted together with the wing balanced on top:

    Just a few other s of the body and skirts as they have progessed. Front arches are now 100% ready for paint. Skirts still a way off yet. Not 100% on the diffuser yet. May make my own to flow with the rest of the car better.
