Hi to all

[wareling]

Hi All

Just a quick note to say that I am looking forward on increasing my knowledge on all things V8 and Mustang related - and hopefully sharing some of the things too.

Despite not owning (not yet in any case :-/ ) a Mustang, I am constantly on the lookout for a good deal here in SA - they tend to be really pricey and well guarded in our neck of the woods.

Current running project car:

A '69 Fairmont XT with a 71' 351C in it. I decided on fitting an AOD for better consumption on the open road.

Current work-in-progress car (for the wife):

A '60 F100. I have replaced the 298 Y-Block that it came with, with a 301W.

I am busy re-doing the 302 and hope to start it in the next week or so!. This is my firtst V8 motor that I would have rebuild from the block up!

Will be running a C4 auto box in this one.

Future work-in-progress car (hopefully within the next year I will start on this one):

I know this is a Ford forum, (and I have four of them at home so I do love the Blue), but the next one is my '57 Chrysler Imperial Crown.

This baby is in a bad state and will require some serious body work. But from the pix I've seen, it will be wort the effort.

Planning on installing a 590ci into this one.

So that in a nutshell is what I am up to now.

Looking forward to chatting soon.

You have an Australian XT Fairmont? I think we'd all like to see some pics of that! (especially us Aussies...)

Well I've just been reading up on the South African Fairmont's. Assembled in SA, not an Australian import like I had thought they would be so I guess that makes them a home-grown SA classic! A South African car that is based on an Australian Falcon, with the Aussie Falcon originally being based on a US Falcon - I guess that makes us all FoMoCo cousins or somesuch.... :huh:

Also found it interesting the SA GT models used a supa-rhino decal instead of the Aussie GT supa-roo, nothing speaks muscle car more than a bloody rhinoceros methinks - makes the buck-toothed kangaroo version look pretty wimpy in comparison!
