In all honesty i think B series are s**t. My EB fairmont was a hugely better car than my BA. I wouldve sold it already but its under finance at the moment, will be for a while. Planning to sell it and get an E series again as soon as i can hmmm something to think about then, maybe a au ghia could be the way to go. Yep AU is the last nice car Ford have done IMO. but its all matter of opinion haha Nigel wrote: One of the best options might be a nice low-k car from say Tennant Creek or somewhere else in Central Australia? - nice, dry climate not a big chance of rust anyway?? Mine was from Mildura, which is a pretty hot dry place most of the time.

Once the paintings done and the boots finished ill be getting a 4 barrel manifold and new carbie aswell as head work and a nice cam.
