Superb🎉

What do Ford call that green? It's vaguely similar to my FG, which is "Swift".

Good stuff mate

There's nothing better than an original steering wheel especially when done to the detail you did.Very easy to notice it's beauty.Great job

Hi Peter Hacksaw Garage just pulled apart an XE they might have useable parts for your project kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g52ehcyWp9rUe3k.html

Good morning great video thank you. What did you use once the caliper parts were clean to seal them with the clear ? What was it thanks

Do you have a link to get the sticker

Looks factory Peter, well done

Enjoyed the painting and looks real nice. It’s always good seeing the new shiney stuff against the fresh paint

Gday Pete great work mate , Thumbnail gave me a heart attack …..looks gold .

Don't be hard on yourself Pete. The paint looks great to me and what a brilliant colour. Painting in 15 degrees would not be easy - sure to be a top car at the end of your rebuild.

Enjoyed watching you paint the engine bay, currently doing the same thing on my MK1 Cortina. If mine comes out half as good as yours I will be happy! Great work as usual Peter!

Looking good Peter. A mate of mine’s father always bought new Fairlanes and I remember going over to his house to see his ZK in the same green as yours (it was featured in the brochure). His was injected. I prefer the V8, which is why I have a very nice original metallic blue one. 👍

Dude thats looking awesome 👌

I put XH electric door mirrors on mine, they look like EF mirrors but bolt straight in

Hi Peter where do you purchase your Acrylic paints in Melbourne? I am about to soon shoot my XA falcon bay in Cosmic Blue. Also who’s doing your platting?

It's looking trucking good, Pete. Love your safety tips about working around fuel tanks. You see some KZfaqrs do some stupid things. You should of been a teacher. 😅

I reckon this car is going to be a stunner and rather better than just a daily driver.

G'day Pete long time subscriber whatched all your videos brilliant channel keep up the great work you do 👌👍

Hello Peter Phill with the Xf Falcon Great vid as all ways put some light on the door mirrors that you want to fit xf ones they will fit on the doors of the zk but the wiring in the doors are different to a xf Fairmont Ghia or aka ZL Fairlane check the plugs on both morrors if they are the same they will work keep the great work up 😀

Looking good 👍

Gotta love whacking in the zinc parts! Everything will look brand new for another 20 years! If you're looking for a new overflow bottle, Thomas Osborne on the Ford XDE page has got new repro ones available. I'll try and link to you via PM

I really do enjoy your videos mate. Keep up the great work!

She's getting there Peter. Nice work mate. Can't wait for the fit out. Are you going to be respraying the whole car ? Can't remember if you mentioned this. For what it's worth, I reckon you should, otherwise it will look patchy, especially being metallic. After all that hard work, it would be a travesty not to paint the whole car. Give her a fresh new look to match all that nice jewellry. God Bless and take care. Regards Tony

All part of the Australian vocab. Engine bays are hard to paint, so many nooks.

Damn, that color DOES look nice and I doubt Ford would have done such a flash paint job in the engine bay. As for swearing, I've been known to use some technicolor language myself from time to time. If I had a YT channel, it would be difficult not to swear occasionally but I would just edit it out. Mind you, I'm not too upset about hearing the eff bomb as long as the content is goo like Cold War Motors when Tom comes for a visit.

Oh mate watching these vids is getting the juices flowing to start on my next car. Nice work as always

Like these feeds

Wee all do swear occasionally. I even try not to swear on my KZfaq channel myself either, but it slips now and then. Pretty much the only time it happens is out of frustration over something that happens. That doesn't go quite your way, sometimes, as people do say. I'm glad to hear that you are doing well. You must be converting your ZK Fairlane into a V8 ?

wagons are cooler than sedans!

Ive watch the whole video mate 👍 Content haha ive got videos ive done with how ridiculous but cant share yet And had someone rear end the VR Calais so not sure if i should keep throwing parts at it just in case its ridden off 😪 but thats life Take it easy mate 👍

If i was to buy a new car it would be Toyota hybrid

DJs got a early Pulsar not sure on model Whens your next Adelaide trip head to u pull it and get the Toyota parts Ill be in Adelaide October weekend for the demo derby

Pete in your opinion would hydroblasting work on the EA Falcon snoflakes I know you have had the XC ones done.

Love to be able to join your feed Peter, but I can't stay up late due to my early morning starts. Have to watch the replay lol.. Thanks for updates mate.

Damn just missed it by a hour

2n3055?

Warm soup weather

Hey Pete glad for the feed

Xlnt videos, I am considering restoring either an early Honda 750 or an early 80’s Suzuki Gs 750 or 1100.

Half fix up a car...... Full rebuild every time with yours! lol

The hard and dirty work continues and it is good to see the progress. It's in very good condition considering the huge number of kilometres it's done. I was concerned about the age limit on tyres when I was getting the roadworthy on my Austin and found that there isn't one. The rule of thumb is 10 years but there is no regulation in Victoria that stipulates the age, only that they need to be in good condition and have enough tread and no cracks. 😊👍

Wow that tow bar crazy The go old fuel tank removal on your own haha pain in the butt

Mate that heater box came up mint that door sealant works a treat

I had the baby brother of the ZK; the XE Falcon. It began life as a 3-3 four speed. A year in, I tossed those and fitted a 302 with a C4. Drove her around like that for the next four and a half years. Had a single system fitted still. Just prefered the more refined rumble. After five and a half years, sold her and got a 1980's Mitsubishi Colt sedan, due to my love of driving small cars that are more driver involved. Three years later, got an aging TP Magna sedan.......a beautiful car when running properly. Wish I still had all three cars. By the way, that ZK looks exactly the same as the one on the cover of a ZK brochure I've still got....... including the colour! That oily green shade was very popular on XE's and ZK's.

Fuel line just moves to hole in front of shock tower, 6 to V8. Good, informative videos. Cheers Peter. XC finished yet. ? 😅

My 380 is a kangaroo magnet. Living in a semi rural area, so far hit and killed 4 of them and she has the scars to prove it. It's sad but often they just come out of nowhere leaving you little to no time to respond. Keeping in mind that trying to swerve to avoid them could cause a serious accident.

Coming along nicely Peter. 👍

Hi Pete. Who's your new plater? I use Big Zinc up in Montrose. Their colour finish does vary from time to time. Good guys once you get to know them.
