        I love those cars! I so wish Ford would import them to the US. You're so lucky

        That house in the first pic behind your car looks like it has seen better days, looks like it's leaning to the left! I'm always torn between keeping my car level in pictures, or the background level. It's much easier now with a digital camera, I just take both pics and keep the one I like the best!

          Whoops
          Straightened the house up a bit.........

          I think we're pretty lucky here in Australia. Just a few years ago we almost lost our locally built Falcons - Ford (U.S.) wanted to sell the Taurus here as a replacement

          Luckily the trial sales were dismal so we still have our own Falcons

                Those Falcons are bad a$$ looking. Pretty nice performance too from what I have read. Much nice looking car than the GTO GM imported here to the US. Congrats.

                  Gotta agree with you there
                  It's really easy to make them go a LOT harder too - standard they make around 270HP at the wheels and with a simple edit of the ECU to up the boost to 10psi and maybe a dyno tune to get it all just right I can get about 350HP at the wheels with no other mods.
                  Add bigger injectors & fuel pump, better cat and cold air intake then it's pretty easy to get up to 400HP + !

                  Cheers

                    Nice ride, but I 'll take the GTO! 400HP from the factory with full warranty, no mods needed, 0-60 in 4.6 seconds.

                      After a bit more work

                      I've done some serious work on the trunk - Quick Clay, Scratch X, NXT with #26 as a final.

                      Getting there - now I just have to finish the rest....

                          Looks great! Did you use any polish like #7 or #81 underneath the NXT? It sure looks like you did! NXT is the best choice for blue!

                            Thanks!
                            No - just as listed above - unfortunately where I live it's really difficult to buy anything except the basic Megs products and even then they are very expensive:-(
                            Can't even buy any #16...

                              I feel your pain!
                              If I had to depend on the stuff we get here, my process would #9, Colour Boost (ColorX), NXT, #26.
                              Good thing we have the internet. I ordered most of my Meguiar's stuff from Rick and auto detailing solutions. I just cleaned him out of #16, though.
                              If you want, send me a PM with your address and I'll ship a sampler of #16 your way. I've also got #83/#80/#7 if you want some.
