G'day all, not long joined the forum. Been an AU owner for over 10yrs with an AU S spec. She's been to the moon and on her way back, well maintained with few mods like extractors and 2.5in exhaust. It's time to show the old girl some love and came here for some pointers. Looking forward to getting into the discussions and see what can be done on a tight budget. Cheers Rick

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 |

I love the AU's such an amazing car to own and drive. Like you mate I also have a S3 XR8 ute, Project at the moment and going NO WHERE. I sold my S3 XR6 sedan and still very much regret it. |
