Default born again ford!

Hi All,

Member from way back, thought the best way to re-introduce myself to everyone was here!

Have a long history with the forums, but got into bike racing, so bowed out for a little while. realising that I couldn't live any longer without going back to what I love - old fords and v8's. turns out my profile is still active and suprisingly rembered my password!

Bit about me - still ride the bike as much as i can. Like to get out to Phillip island and broadford, winton etc. dabbled in racing and quickly found that i loved it. stuffed around with 400's for a bit, but now get about on a cbr1000RR. - *loves it. My background is a mechanical engineer - so pretty much anything with wheels interests me. Have worked on a couple of fun projects including a few 11 second cars, and a couple of smaller circuit cars too. Built a couple of bikes up etc etc.

Used to have an old XC GS K code project car, but after a MASSIVE accident had to get rid of it to buy 2 new cars (sad...sad day). Few years down the track i find myself aching to get another projct and bring something old back to life.
Desperatly on the hunt for an XB/XC ute rolling shell to get started on. and of course, will start a good project thread with all the pics of progres. (possibly got one lined up but having a bit of trouble making contact with the seller - with a bit of luck i'll have it tomorrow!)

anyway, good to be back, Cheers.
