Lets do a Poll- IF YOU COULD DO ANYTHING TO YOUR FORD, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

[craigrobinson]

Hi all, just wondering, if you had all the money in the world, but you had to spend it on your ford, what would you do to it?

[rancidpunx]

Can I spend it on multiple Fords?

Ok, here are the rules:

1. you can spend it on multiple fords
2. any mods must be factual and be possible
3. all mods must be suitable for a ford ie no ferrari engines on a festiva
4. you must spend your money on a ford
5. you must provide a rough rough guestimate on your mods cost

Bit unfair as such. Anything is possible with the right amount of money and the right nowse, including this. So how about a bit more flexibility

To my to do list. Make the POS reliable. I'm sick of it breaking down every 3 months. Something different every time. Or perhaps, spend $1 on matches and fuel.

Given the way Ferrari's have turned into fireballs lately, I think our Fords are much safer...

Definately be safer, once it's built properly, with this engine

Yeh good call. lol. so how about we make it a bit fairer. Instead of any amount of money, lets make so that you have $40,000 to spend. how does that sound? it would make it a bit more realistic.what does everyone else think??????

Judging by some of the posts after this comment, obviously not.

Never mind.

Mine would be an easy one then. $1 for the fuel and matches, which leaves me $39,999 to blow on a stinker hemi powered Centura. One supercharged 245 or 265 thank you very much, followed by a Tremec 5 slot and a 4.11 geared and spooled 9". Reckon I'd have 4 or 5 grand left to blow on fuel.

[buggo]

I'd buy every Falcon that came off the line and give them back, so Ford sell every Falcon atleast once, so they won't stop making them.
And I'd just do everything possible to mine, engine work, custom interior, sound system, nice neat white pearl paint on the outside.

[Nikked]

My current car, the XR6 would gain a Nispro built barra, 6 speed, AU IRS, UPC front brakes, 18 X 8.5 drifteks and a new paint job.

Then, i would have a XP wagon, flat black with a metalflake purpe roof, fish tale exhaust, venitians, sun visor, spats etc...

[flappist]

Buy all the T3s and convert them to Turbo 4 cylinder front wheel drives....

OK - new S/C GT
new fatter wider tyres all round
tricked suspension

That's all, then bank all the rest of the money in the world and live off the interest.

LOL!!! U idiot

[shedcoupe]

I've got a variation on this one. There's a time machine down the back (a portaloo called the Turdis) that can get me back to 1972, so I've ordered an
XA ute with Wild Plum paint, black interior, air and steer, GS pack and driving lights, 351, T-bar auto, LSD, mags, and push-button radio with electric aerial.
The poor dealer is fretting because unless it comes with a 4V he's not getting an order for a dozen Louisvilles. And the shell has to be galvanised.
But the door of the Turdis might not be wide enough, so there's a heated dry dungeon to build as well .....

[aussie muscle]

swap it for a GT-40

[ZA-289]

BLOWN 347 for my EL with 9" + C10

+ $5000 BP vouchers

So you could drive it for ALMOST a whole month

Me? Find an old school coupe, get some crazy brake / suspension setup and keep doing the engine up until I crapped my pants when I hit the "GO" pedal, then go to town on the interior, paint and panel.

[Kryton]

Turbo Diesel Falcon.
Cost - should have already been done.

[chevypower]

Have every decent Ford model I could? How do I make this sensible? Replace it with a new F150 Lariat EcoBoost, get a Mustang 5.0 convertible, and a Lincoln MKT EcoBoost for my wife. Get a Falcon GT-P to drive around in Australia, with a new Ranger I5 diesel.

I'll go with that and the seats from the RS.

[TZENU]

Twin turbo stroker all under bonnet...That is it.

[Grippy]

A built Nizpro engine, monoblock AP brakes all round, a full cage and lose 500 kg's of weight.

[xp_ute]

i'd be doing some engineering to make lancruiser or patrol running gear fit under a new falcon and make what the territory should of been....
a real 4wd and not the soft roader we have

[aussie muscle]

i suppose the best thing to do with a old BF Falcon (for a millionaire) is to stick all it's running gear into a XB Falcon.

[TC200six]

Buy an older model Ford and restore it, I'd keep it original although not without some slight modifications but won't go over the top. If it was something like a P5 LTD which I wouldn't mind finding one some day, I would give it a good exhaust system to really show what it's got under the bonnet.

[cheek]

Do what I already plan on doing but with a new 5.0 GT engine with bags all round

[HULK EF]

blown 335kw 5.o FPV v8 engine into my BF Xr6 Turbo..

With a intercooler kit.. cutom full exhaust.. larger injectors and fuel pump.. and a custom tune..

Hello high 10''s... and easily 400+ RWKW's.. and being a v8 best of all!

couldnt imagine much change out of $30,000

[Elks]

Big inch big block into the ZF- with drive line to suit.

I'm thinmking 632 cubes single carb, a bit cammy but not wild, with a C6, & tricked 9" with mini tubs ....

[Ducati888]

Get it finished pronto. XB Coupe in full resto mode for the next two or three years.
