Heres 2 pictures from the add I brought it off. Will do for tonight

wicked cool. i love this shape falcon. any plans for it?

yep that model falcon is the definition of bogan mobile.

 

they can be improved with chunky tyres with writing on them though.

Dear god.

 

The amount of bog and fibreglass I've shoved into these things when the metal disappeared...

Mercifully, haven't touched one in over a decade.

 

Do yourself a favour, don't take the external C pillar trim off, or the scuff plates on the door sills. Ignorance is bliss. :)

haha lets just say, I'm pissed off at it already.

 

ever rang the free car removal guys up, but they couldnt pick it up untill tomorrow. So i changed my mind. Ill work on it slowly but surely.

 

yes 12 slotters woth fatties and white lettering is on the cards.

I hope you didnt pay much for this....

 

It looks good from the outside... Does it skid?

 

Edited cause I re read the thread and answered my own question

$300, so probably too much haha, Ill update tonight

No one cares but ill update,

Ok so I brought this thing for $400, including the tow truck home as it didnt run,

 

After attemping to solo push and steer it under my house *very tigh squeeze, Had to fold the mirrors in*

I gave up, and decided to push it with a patrol. Not a good idea, pic below.

 

Anyway I replaced the starter relay and she fired right up... Runs amazing with only 139,000km

 

After that got sick of dukes of hazarding through the drivers window, so next on my list was the rooted door lock, the part that latched onto the car.

Alot of screwing around, after 3 days and many screw drivers it was opened.

 

Today I replaced the bonnet and brought some 14x8 ROH 12 slots for the rear, need a clean and some paint *not a fan of chrome*

Which will be wrapped in 245 or 265/60/r14 Bfgoodrich T/A with the raised white lettering next soonish. Not a proiety just yet.

 

Cut the rust out and brough the replacement steel from the wreckers. Getting that welded in by a mobile welder next thursday.

 

Then she'll be ready for a roady!

Just don't do all this work then get over it, or crash it :P

bench seat front with fold down arm rest,

 

Shes a sled

itll buff out

ass end polished up quite nice, sanded back the exhaust tip... looks brand new

Video of it running on my facebook page, runs perfect. Battery was abit flat hence the slow turnover.

12 slotters look good now man, did it take long to get them sanded back?
