just quickly, the XD-XF falcs were designed in aus, just like the XAs to XCs before, and the E series after.
ybuy4n - looks like a tough streeter, even if the styling isnt my personal cup of tea. i like the chevelle to, looks excellent. and someones been playing a prank on you... they installed you steering wheel on the wrong side!!

Is the red car in the first picture a new Dodge Charger?

I think that converting to right hand drive here isnt the norm,other than mail jeeps.It would definitely make a one of a kind. Ive read that your country makes you convert to RHD if you bring over a "yank" car.Is that true?

The fairmont over here was the first platform that ford built our foxbody cars including the "5.0" stangs from.So almost all the parts interchange.Now there isnt a fairmont performance parts market here,there is however a huge following for the 5.0! The car doesnt attract the attention that my mustang does driving around.Thats a good thing because the 'mont is a lot faster!
