What did you do to your car today?

[Firstfordv8]

Well I took my car back to the dealer today check eng light came on and the traction control light stays on as well as brakes need work.😒 only had it 3 days

[smciner1]

Clay Bar and Polish the BA GT.

[OzJavelin]

Bought a tool which bolts to the harmonic balancer on my 318 and uses a 1/4" drive breaker bar to allow you to hold it and stop it rotating. Using a 1.5m long bar attached to the balancer nut I was finally able to losen it ..
With a 1/4" drive rattle gun it wouldn't budge.

[CFOUR]

moved it so i could get the ride on mower out of the shed. the day is early however

[Mechan1k]

Drove it to work.

Firstly .. Mucked up .. It's 1/2" drive not 1/4" ..

Unfortunately it's a Mopar V8 only thing, but this should show you basically what it looks like ..

This was a last resort for me. You might be able to get it undone with a rattle gun?

[blackf6]

Left it parked in the shed. :(

[BPXR6T]

Replaced a faulty voltage regulator on the Porsche and went for a long fast drive.



Washed a decade of dust off the GT and fitted new wheels/tyres

[BPXR6T]

Also started cleaning up the F150 for RWC. New universal seat cover that fits a rear bronco seat fits the front of the F150 alright.

[BISHY]

Wash n detail every Sunday

[AWD Chaser]

Water pump :(

[MercurySilver]

Watched the misses drive off to work...

[BPXR6T]

Tried to get my GT running after years in storage, and failed. Plenty of spark, looks to be a stuffed fuel pump. Although even a bit of fuel down the carb barely got a cough.

[Papa Smurf]

I changed the backing on my Instruments to the silver like a T series AU

I'd like to change my Fairlane cluster to silver. I tried a white one that I bought on eBay but it was very poor quality the back lighting at night was terrible very patchy.
Papa Smurf is yours after market or genuine ford?

[MLR]

Finally painted the front aggressor/rebel pods that I got 2 months ago.

All I need to do now is wait for 5-7 days and I will give them a polish and wax.

Also did the green slip, pink slip and rego gig.

It is costing me more to register and insure a standard 6 cyl auto family sedan than it cost to register and insure a modified 6 cyl turbo charged manual import, how the hell does that work...........

At least Im getting around 600 klm per tank in the Ford as apposed to the 300 I was getting in the Nissan.

Although whilst the Nissan had 400ish KWATW the stock BF XR6 only has around 140ish apparently.

I am enjoying the extra comfort and fuel economy in the Ford but I am missing being able to drive to the track or the strip and having a few quick hot laps or a good hard run at the strip.

On a side note, I still haven't found a chassis to start my new project on, the money people are asking or paying for small RWD chassis is bordering on insane.

I blame all the flat cap wearing kids (waves fist in the air)

[EDManual]

Installed a water temp guage, oil temp guage and oil pressure guage into the tr7. Need to know this stuff when it's floored for long periods!

[ebv8]

took the VX out of hiding to get some cheap fuel down the road ($1.12 E10), then washed it and took it to the shops and the alternator died....so $270 later (parts and fuel) and it goes back to taking up space in the driveway again.

[revcore]

Didin't do anything to my ute today apart from drive it, But yesterday I wired up a rear console courtesy light....Wired it up to the light just above the ignition. A simple mod that looks good.

[TheSneakiness]

Drove it to the train station.

[LG17]

I said good morning to the XR6 ute and told it that it could have a rest today as I was going to test the fridge I'm selling. The GT Corty got a longing look but at least a lot of gearbox parts turned up today. I think that's all of them so it shouldn't be long and the right box will be back in.

[brydie76]

Gave it a good wash and vacuum, and then discovered a screw in one of the tyres. 1st swearing moment of the day.

What I didn't do was put a big scrape in the front grille insert (plastic metallic grey bit my number plate sits on). Somebody else did that for me (and put a scrape in my scooter muffler too, but its already pretty scratched up). Second (and arguably bigger) swearing moment of the day. On the upside, possible excuse to get a different insert for the grille, so that's a possible silver lining!

[smciner1]

Did a few Laps of Bathurst.

[Neale]

I lowered the corty by 3 inches at the front & 2 at the rear, the took it up the mountain for a few laps & check out the GT's

[Express]

I replaced the switch for my brake lights.
Repaired the wiring for the boot and number plate lights and re-wired in a new set of horns.
Then I drove it.

[Agile]

Ran the LTD up on the ramps and tightened up a loose manifold flange . Aint that top bolt on the left bank a doosy. Anyhow, I never knew how much of a difference it makes when one bank is off song. Slight leak at the flange made a big difference to how she runs.

Back in love again. 90ish kph in first. Man that sounds sweeeeeet.!!!!!!

[hawkgirl]

replaced the front headlight globes so the ute wasnt one eyed

[Kable72]

Fitted a KPM intake on my XR6 and then annoyed everyone on the main road while I Was trying to hear it.

[Andy777]

fitted up some gauges using Stav (from stingrays gauge holder)



started lining up the front grill and lights - these new re manufactured stuff is never an easy fit


then washed the fg
