White FG the wheels are Advan racing rs, 19 by 10 on the back

I just bought some new wheels for my FG ute and theyre a dark gun metal colour and I was wondering if I should powdercoat or anodise the sports bar to the same dark colour (if it can be done) Has anyone done this or know how to. I'm not even sure what the sportsbar is made out of, I assume aluminium but I'm not sure, thanks for the help

The dust comes in through the holes for the movable tie down hooks along the sides of the tray, and the drains on the bottom. I fixed this inexpensively (on my fg soft cover) by going to Clarke rubber and buying some small rubber gromits to plug the holes and some rubber chair leg tips to plug the drains, they taper at a slight angle so seal fairly well.

Hi guys, basically my old man wants to upgrade the brakes on his ba fairlane and will need to get larger wheels so theyl fit. I said that he can have the 19s of my fg ute so that I can get new wheels. My question is, has anyone noticed that the rear wheel arches on the fg ute protrude at least two inches wider than the wheels, kinda like an xa-c coupe, and has anyone fit wider rear wheels. should I get dished rims or use spacers, any suggested brands etc, look foward to hearing from you.

its an interesting fact that James Watt actually undercut the power of a horse to help him sell steam engines. when he presented potential customers (like large mines, etc) the figures showed the engine to be more appealing than the teams of horses it would replace

I believe that's the standard fairlane g220 trim and a can of armor all

where could I find this?

I already have the fairlane, its a ba 6 cyl with 150 000 on it, and while its been looked after and hasnt had any problems you probably wouldnt get 10 000 dollars for it. its actually my old mans car and he's decided to keep it because its worth a lot more to him than its resale value and also he's owned 3 fairlanes and loved them and is a bit annoyed at ford for dropping the line, sort of a stubborn loyalty I guess. he decided that he will keep it so he has had new bilstein shocks and swaybars put in as well as new bushes to fix the few squeaks and rattles it's developed in the last couple years. I leant him my car (fg turbo ute) while that was done, and now he wants to turbocharge his, I thought that it would be better to transplant a ba or bf motor seeing as ford has already done all the work and a falcon and fairlane are pretty much identical from the b pillar foward. and theres the fact that the current engine is starting to age.

I got an xr6 turbo because its a lot easier than an xr8 to pass of as a non turbo 6 (p plates), and I always thought I was a v8 guy but im getting a sore arse sitting on the fence

does anyone have a pick of the maloo, a vy I think, that was done like this, I was a black one with a jarrah tray, actually looked really good

im the one that destroyed the unijoint with my brand new (couple of weaks old, about 2-3000ks) fg, and eventhough no one believes me I wasnt doing anything stupid, its an auto, had nothing in the back and was under about 2/3 throttle. it broke the whole unijoint and I kept the piece that fell on the road and it was showing excessive uneven wear, like it had done 100 000 kays. It was probably wasn't fitted properly at the factory, mine would have been the one of the first built, ford replaced the tailshaft, no worries. I havnt had a problem since. does anyone know if the F6 runs the same tailshaft?

im considering turbocharging my n/a 4.0 BA Fairlane or possibly swapping engines with a turbo, does anyone have any advice or previous experiances they could share with me, how best to do it, how much could this cost, would it be easier to turbocharge the existing engine or buy a written off xr6t, or buy a xr6turbo at the auctions then sell it as an xr6

it also says not compatible if you hook up an apple iPhone, should be the same as an ipod, with mine if I leave the ipod in it tends to go flat then not work for about five minutes after you turn it back on, could a ford software update fix either problem?

bought it at rare spares for 8 bucks as a joke, will peel right back off

ive had mine for a while now but im new to the forum, its an august build, auto with the tech and lux pack and I love it
