Ok... I said to myself I would'nt post pics of my 3 dr when I first started posting here at PF......

But it is amazing what a new set of Comps, AVO's, new Sparco goodies inside, new ProAlloy cooler and radiator and a 20 minute hose down will make you do!!
Oh yer... and its a good excuse to ask some fellow aussies to get some pics up too!!

Cheers,
Gav

Ahh Loverly... Thats what I like to see, another Ford family!! My old mans 57' Thames van is a Ford through and through!!
Over here in the wild West mate.

3 Wonderful looking cossies

 

thanks suk

 

nice 3dr!!!

 

Thats lush mate.
Like it alot

 

Cheers Macker. A 3dr with MO's must be fairly common in the UK, but down here they are rarer than rocking horse shite! There is only about 4 or 5 here in Western Australia.

 

Those wheels really suit it. Hard as nails

 

Lovely!!!


Black ones are the best

 

agreed

very nice mate

 

Thanks Ronnie. Gotta admit... When I saw pics of yours I knew white was the way to go!!
... The mirrors are coming along!!

 

you aussies have cool number plates

can you buy whatever you want? (assuming no-one else has??)

 

Nice 3dr m8.

 

nice cars love the number plates

 

they go so good with the black


nice one mate keep me updated

 

Looks sweet mate :

 

 

Cheers guys. Plates are pretty cool here. Big choice of colours and sizes and anything up to 7 characters on a metal plate and 9 on a polycarbonate plate.
Im trying to sell these ones actually. Reckon they will look better on a hot rod or muscle car. Thinkin of getting FMC RS

 

Very nice mate

 

Nice cars! I always wondered how popular cossies were considering all the racing that used to go on. I've seen 2 years worth of Tooies 500 is it? Great racing!

 

Brian

 

 

sweet lookin 3 dr mate

 

Good on ya GAV, nice to see the 3dr up on PF. and pics of aarons saph and 500. Here are a couple of pics of mine, we will have to catch up soon. Mine is off the road for a bit i am fitting an RS500 intercooler to it at the moment. This one.



this is my plate. i have got smaller motorbike sized ones for her. THEY ARE 180MM X 100MM in plain white with black letters, my show plates. also in the 4th pic i have had the cross 5 wheels photoshoped on to a side pic in 19 inch (not my car) oh and it has been lowered a tad. what do you think?

give me a call mate and we will catch up i am not back till 31st jan though.

 

Lovely cars out there

 

HA... Wheels look the nuts Tony!! You have got to do it!!
Cooler looks good too. Where did you find that one?
Mate at the very latest there is a ACE Ford club run on the 10th of March. HUGE yearly event. 200+ cars every year! We will have to wave the Aussie PF flag!!
Ill be in touch

 

sorry mate i am in work on the 10th march rite in the middle of my swing will have to miss out on that one. I got the cooler of a freind of mine here in perth he got it for his sapphire cossie but it would not fit so i had it off him. It is an XS Power one but i am having a couple of dramas with it. Nothing that can,t be fixed up. the wheels will have to wait a while my missis said no BLING till the new house is built So i can only do jobs that keep it running and dont cost the earth. what is ACE Ford club? what cooler you got on yours it looks like an RS500 type?

 

D'Oh. ACE Ford club have alsorts of Fords in there. Im not in the club but once a year they run this HUGE cruise and everyone is welcome.
I ended up getting a ProAlloy 65mm 500 style and their 50mm radiator. Everything fell straight into place and it fitted real nice like.
Ive had a bit of a stint off the road too... I drove it for the first time in a few months yesterday. Bit naughty... no airfilter but I just had to go! So off I go new blow off valve, no airfilter and 1.5 bar o' boost.... When I change gear it sounds like the world is going to END!!! haha. Nice mixture of bov and wastegate chatter!!

 

yes i know what you mean i take the cover off my air filter sometimes (to clean it ) and the BOV makes the whoooosh sound it sounds awesome. I did it one time and didnt tell the wife she thought it was great, all the young lads at the traffic lights looking at the hyundai type car with the shiela driving and the BOV , left them standing with mouths wide open. doof doof doof. but after a while i put it back on and go into stealth mode, i think that is better, they cant see you coming. It attracts to much attention from the rozzers, and the like. what style of side repeaters have you got on the wings? they look good, did they fit straight on? i am in work now just about to knock off will talk again soon. catch up next R+R.

 

Love that black 3 door on they rims

 

lovey 3 door

 

So if there are few cossie's in Oz, does that mean you are looking to pay alot for a half straight car?

 

are you going to keep the centre cap's blue?

 

The owners of this type of car here in OZ are usually x pats from the UK who know all about them, or son,s or daughters of x pats. your normal ozzie bloke is not interested in them all they want is a big V8, so the people who have these car very rairly ever sell them, the only reason i got mine was that the previous owner had died and it was part of the estate, he got it new in 1993. I can see me keeping it till i either die or have my drivers licence taken off me on medical grounds. the other kind of cossie owner is the migrant that brings it over as apersonal import when they emigrate over here, a freind of mine brought his focus RS over with him when he emigrated here and as far as i know it is the only one in OZ. now that is RARE. what i see most on the road here is scoobies, nissan skylines and V8 fords and V8 holdens.all good cars but because i am an x pat they dont inerest me, i was brought up on cossies so that is why i have one.
