I teased it at the end of our last series, and a lot of you guessed it so I’ll have to make it harder next time. But here it is, my first ever car. - An EBII Ford Fairmont!..
BUT there’s a twist, cause nothing is ever that simple around here - there’s also a second project car here, an ED Fairmont Ghia.
Stay tuned to find out more about these two old girls and what we have planned for them.
Hope you enjoy, if you did and would like to support our little battler channel grow please consider liking, sharing with a mate and subscribe to keep up to date as videos come out!

One of my friends old man worked for Ford R & D for the early E series; when the ED came about, they used imported Mustang V8 & gearboxes for the test mules. The ED Ghia my friends dad had, had a 351 Windsor & Auto from the Mustang. You could change gears via the Up/ Down buttons for the cruise (if cruise was off). The engine loom was a mix of falcon & mustang, and it also had a modified Explorer rear diff. My mate is currently doing a restoration/ clean up on it, as his dad has Parkinsons and cant do much these days

Looks like a sick project you have there mate! You thought about putting a Tickford motor in? Maybe a VCT one from an AU? I don't think the driveline changed that drastically between the models. Plus you could do some upgrades to it: Headers + exhaust, CAI, underdrive pullies, lightweight clutch and flywheel and a chip/tune.

@BrowneysGarage 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks mate. Both options are probably easy enough other than getting the VCT working but don't think there's enough gains to be had for doing it, especially with the engine in it already having some work done on it. I could be wrong though! Mods are sound like a plan though, some it has, some I'd like to give a go - let's see what happens.

@@nathan2483 For commuting I agree, they're fine. And compared to HQ or early Commodores I'm sure they feel good too, but myself and mates have had brake fade so quick in these things on hill runs that I just can't call them good. Will throw some good rotors, pads and fluid at it to sort it as best I can but it's a shame there's no budget-ish upgrade for them anymore.
