those long vacuum blocks are great, i have the same one. awesome video man

Nice work mate! Looking forward to the next.

Well done making 4L tin go that far on such a large car. Great product. I've used 2 and a half cans of the stuff on my XE including the engine bay and inside all panels.

great products from these guys... car is looking great well done

Has the floor pan been repaired? Just binged watched all your episodes I had a 289 xr as my first car, miss it dearly now.

How many hours did the sanding take and how was next door with the noise and dust

Hope to see the car when you have it finished please. Good job so far.

I still use para glaze epoxy primer PPG protec same thing and Ppg hs primer for the Final block good to see the older falcon being done ✅

From one driveway restorer to another I understand the moment of having a good boss that lets you use the workshop… it’s a huge job getting poly on such a big car .. well done good to see the dog get some camera time

Good things take time. Your hard work has paid off. Looks absolutely amazing.

Lets goo been waiting so long of another episode!

Is it an XR with XT tail lights (or is it an XT?). Either way, these are beautiful cars. Good to see someone else giving life back to a classic car.

The beautiful body lines on the old XT falcon you're doing a wonderful job paint has come a long way looking forward to the topcoat and hopefully some assembly content cheers

Didn’t see your dog ?

This is the first I have seen of this car. It reminds me of the Falcon I had in the late 70's. It was a 69.5 two door with the 170 6 cylinder, 3 on the tree someone converted to floor shift. What made it a 69.5 was mid year they went fron the round tail lights, to square. When I got it, #4 cylinder dropped the valve seat. Had the head redone andreplaced the one bad piston and ran the wheels off it till I blew the clutch. A guy in my barracks had a 68 Fairlane 4 door that ws an old USAF staff car. It had a 302 with an auto matic. I bought it for $100. I used the engine,tranny radiator and what ever it took to put this into the Falcon. On base they had an auto shop so we hada place to work on our cars. Idraged to Falcon over to the shop with the Fairlane. Swa0ed the engineand tranny in one day with 1 friend. It was the easiest swap I have ever done. The engine mounts from the Fairlane bolted in just like they came out of the Falcon. Every thing bolted right in. The standard drive shaft fit right back into the automatic. It was Just like pulling the engine xand tranny and sliding it right back in. The onlything I had to buy was a shifter for the auto and mufflers. The guy I got it from wanted to keep the mufflers. The 6cylinder and the 3spd tranny the attendant atthe shop bought them for $75 and afried wanted the air shocks and I scrapped the rest of the car and got $50 for that. So I did the swap and made money on the deal. The car wasn't any quicker or faster with the 302 and it used a bit more gas, but i had a lot of fun in that car. One day a tractor trailer was selling tires out of the back. I bought some tires in a brand I never heard of back then. Falken Tire. I bought a set of E70 14's. So I was running Falken tires on my Falcon. I thought that was a cool thing to say. Wish I still had that car. Easy to get upgrades for it. Mechanically it was basically a Mustang. Today it would get a 5.0 and a 5 or 6 spd manual, be a ripper that way.

Thank you Ryan this is great. Been waiting

great effort, its looking great ... looking forward to seeing it 1 color in primer ... what color & paint system are you going with ?..

Have you done anymore episodes

Clearly not your 1st rodeo with cars

Beautiful work mate

Where are you based? Melbourne??

Hi Ryan Do you do any small private jobs? Regards Dale

Why does the series end here? Need to finish it champion.

Can anyone confirm that the lip that the rubber seal sits on behind the rear bumper is useless and can be removed? I’m not refitting a seal as it just traps dirt and promotes rust. Can I cut it out and weld the seam up?

Ive been repairing and restoring cars for 40 years and i think your doing a great job, keep it up and dont worry about comments about to much filler, it looks appropriate to me, i metal finish and also use filler, yeah good gaps are important too, great stuff man

What brand bog do you use? Looks mint mate.

Got your panel gaps nice I never get sick of a XR-XY resto keep up the good work must have understanding neighbors too.

Finally! Love watching these, so inspirational. What's the final look you're going for? Burnout, street, drag?
