Hi Guys,
thanks to everyone for thier warm welcomes. The club itself has been around for about two years now, and is really starting to come alive. We meet on the 2nd Thursday of every month at the Shamrock Hotel (cnr Walker and Ferry St.) function room at 7pm. we are also active in the community appering at events such as the fraser coast show, wheels on wide bay, and pretty much anywhere else that'll have us.

for a bit of a look at our members cars (until i can get them all on here) check out http://users.bigpond.net.au/nobles1/mfcchome.htm to access our club website.

Cheers,
Ivan.

Hi, I am restoring an XP. Have fitted a 250 pre-crossflow, 5 stud hubs, 12 slotters. Expect to have it on the road in the next week. Do I need to have changes engineered? Live at Hervey Bay.

Welcome to the ford forums bossyonbike. I can't help you with your question but if you post it in the classic falcon thread you might get a better response.

i put your request into our buy, swap and sell section at the meeting tonight, so the word is out there. it should also appear on the clubs website as soon as it gets updated so some of our more distant members will hopefully see it too. If you do happen to find one let us know so we can later remove the listing please.

The XP is certified, registered and on the road in Hervey Bay. Powder blue with white roof. Looks a picture! Took my son and his lady to the FCAC formal on Saturday night. Sure got some looks!
