    My new ride

    Ok folks, here it is. Yes I am well aware that its a Ford, but anyhoo, for your viewing pleasure (or displeasure) here it is.

    Info:

    1991 Ford Falcon GL Panel Van, 250 (4.1) Xflow engine, T5 5 speed manual, AU II XR series 17" wheels, Factory 2 seater, barn doors, basic white, Sony CD head unit, Pioneer 6x9's in the back doors, Fusion 5 n 3/4 rounds with splits n cross overs, boxes in the back, reupholstered door trims and console and boxes. Acres of royal blue shagpile and mirror tiles, LED light strips and neon tubes also.

    This was when I first got it. Ill upload more tomorrow, it was a builders van, covered in dirt, dust, gravel and lord alone knows what else. Had quite a list of gear to do. New front brakes, gearbox, new windscreen, fix rust, new engine mounts, new front bumper bar, new headlights, new wiper blades, new tail light lenses, new tyres and a few other things that I cannot recall now.

    LMFAO, never been called tyhat before, always get told that I am 30-40 years too late!
    Thanks for all the comments, its a really nice van to drive, especially with the big boots on it-really makes a difference. I was given another complete running xf-I sold it to a mates son. I have another project in the works which I should have soon, its an xd sundowner.

    [MENTION=413]Vombil[/MENTION] you rebel!

    [MENTION=204]Alien DNA[/MENTION] nah that wont happen, wifey gives em a death stare........lol

    Its amazing just how many looks you get driving a panno.

    [MENTION=257]RAEME[/MENTION] I take it from the username that you have been an engineer in the Army? :D yeah its one of the best ones, XH did have the benefit of the EF/EL suspension which ment no more sqeaky front end....

    It still needs further work, front shocks, spring saddles and bushes for the entire front end, reco steering box wouldnt go astray either.
