The one i was looking at was a little rusty, but nothing bad, ran like a dream and had about 160 000 Its only $600 too

The one i was looking at was a little rusty, but nothing bad, ran like a dream and had about 160 000 Its only $600 too its on ultra lows low enough. yea it gets like that i "organised" all my parts today i have a big box and 2 largish crates full of parts. i have a na fairlane im fixing up for a daily threads down the page abit. worst rust in mine was the drivers door then theres 2 bubbles on each lower rear 1/4 the size of a 10 cent piece. $600 is a good price was it regod? i paid $1,000 with rego for mine had to fix a couple of things nothing major.

yeah $600 with rego but no roady
Yeah i reckon ultras would be plenty low, usually are haha Weve got an AU ute, EF falcon, NC Fairlane, Nissan terrano and my XR6 lol This one was mainly rusty around the rear wheel arches. Still to this day p****d at myself for letting my ZJ fairlane get beyond fixing. It was mint when i got it

Boot lid where the spoiler mounts, and at the front of the boot theres a seam (just behind the windscreen) that is a common spot to go.
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

Agree about the B Series - and the territorys have the same problem. I heard that ford really skimped on the seam sealer on them.
Ive got an EL.. which just blew head gasket (its getting a 5.0 this week), and an XF (yours looks nice BTW). Im actually looking towards the next car, and its really hard to decide to buy a falcon knowing that they rust like that now. |

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??
