Hello all,
Introduced myself in join up link but, yeah I have an AU1 on the way to my address very soon. It was a one owner since new vehicle with a full service history. Looking forward to continuing to care for a car that's very well looked after even 20+yrs later. I know alot of the first things to do should be preventative maintenance, so I will scoure the AU sub area of this forum or feel free to point me in the best direction. Thanks again.. |

Hey all,
Just made a nice lockdown purchase - 75th anniversary Fairlane Ghia that was within the 5km zone With all the chat around the EV future, I felt the time was right to return to the Ford V8 fold (previously owned EB2 XR8 five-speed and an AU 220 five-speed). It's a cruiser, the family calls it 'The Barge' which fits, but looking forward to giving it some subtle upgrades over time and surprising some people! Original owner kept a full log of dates, costs and parts among a full stamped service history - it's been really nicely cared for and I intend to keep it that way... mostly ;)

Hi all first time here, I have a AU II Ford xr6 done 145,000 Blue with a lid just wondering what there worth nowadays, I have been told there rare and at first look through carsales etc it seems thats true but does that equate to a higher price vs what the red book says?

Even then I wouldn't say they are "rare" or worth a lot. I've seen great condition low km manual ones selling for 10k and not so great ones for 3k.

Hi All,
My name is Len and I am in the process of buying my neighbours XR8 with TE50 body kit and 17" mags- only 4. How hard is it to get a 17" mag for a spare that isn't necessarily a Tickford one? Lots of info I have read on other stuff, looking forward to really getting into this car. I love in Townsville in NTH QLD. Cheers, |

Welcome to the AU area of Ford Forums. Finding 17" rims should not be too hard, depending on what rims you have and if you are looking for the same spare. The most difficult part will be just buying one. Most rims are sold in sets. My suggestion is to get onto marketplace or gumtree and search for '17" ford rims'. Good luck, Stu

Hi, Fitter4 here. I'm a fitter of over 30 years experience, mainly machine tool repairs and building. I was recently given Ron, a 2002 AU Ute, by an old mate. Ron had some body damage in the rear right so I immediately sorted that out and gave him a fresh coat of paint. Waiting on my head being done with a valve regrind and double spring install. Then Ron is getting a stage 3 Crow cam, Pacemaker headers and J3 chip. And so it begins. More soon.
Cheers! Fitter4 |

Hi all,
I've just joined the forum but have been using the resources for a few years now (very very helpful 👍). I own a 2000 Ford Fairmont Ghia 75th Anniversary fitted with the Tickford straight 6. Only had two owners including me and in immaculate condition. Cheers Adrian |
