Cheers for all the kind words folks! Its nice to see that people are interested!
Parking in the garage is difficult, our driveway is only wide enough for one car. We have two cars and the falcon stays at home all day. So to park mine in the garage would mean moving the falcon around every single morning when i leave and putting it away again at night. Both cars get parked under a shade cloth car port and are sheltered by the house. At the end of the day its not an amazing paint job and if it degrades and I end up having to redo it in a few years so be it.
I'm getting very close to getting the car on the road! Keen as anything to drive it again!
Everything but the roof has been wet sanded, and everything but the bonnet and the roof have been polished. At this stage im not going for perfection, there is still alot of texture. For now i just need the car back on the road.
I stuffed up my masking a bit and got blue paint on the black B pillar covers, so i wet sanded that out and then gave them a polish. Came up looking tops!
I also re did the chrome today, did the rear 1/4 windows and the roof drip mold thingo. I tried to put clear coat over the chrome to make it look better but the clear melted the chrome paint hahah.
Tomorrow i need to finish the polishing and hopefully I'll get some help to put the bumpers back on, then its just a case of re-installing the lights and trim.
Its been an interesting week, a couple of weeks back i got lent an XF falcon ute (lurking in the background of the pics above). No PS, 3 on the tree, 3 seater bench, carby. Bloody love it. It's playing up though. It started misfiring at idle and then started stalling, it got so bad it would stall when i put the clutch in to shift. I replaced the fuel filter that was total clogged (and like 4 bucks haha) and the air filter and also fixed 4 vacuum leaks. That improved it but its still acting up. I can still hear a vacuum leak and its still missing and stalling sometimes. I think now its only stalling when the rev down (from the vacuum leak) and a misfire occur simultaneously. The leads are stamped 1988 and the spark plugs are the blackest (dry soot) I've ever seen. Aren't old cars fun.
