How did you manage to tackle the corner of the back window I have the same problem with my xf project and I'm dreading doing it shabiki give me some tips and some pointers on how I tackle that that would be great

Was it good on fuel and how many kms on it when you bought it

I am planning to buy same one.. is it durable and reliable?

I've owned 2 XEs

Got a nice note too. Motor sounds pretty schmik!👌

Looks great! The car is a real credit to you and come up magic with your restoration. Beautiful looking car. Terrific colour! She'd be quite good on fuel and get a long quite having the 2.72 diff ratios. It's a good ratio to have.👌😃 Great video thanks for sharing. Look after it.👍😁

If you look in the tool bag it's got a different setup. With a tool that does the jack and wheel nuts . I thought the same when I lifted my seats down as well. Awesome cars

4:24 can put the cigarette in the coppers ear😂

Thankyou so much for making this video … it helped me out heaps.

Thanks for the videos. I was away at work, so I missed it. My car isn’t ready but would have loved to walk around. Thanks again

Cheers mate

Thanks for making this video mate. Saved my family $300. Cheers

Hey mate, great video - really well done. Just about to do this myself so thanks for sharing 👍

John from Ipswich here.. Does your central lock work? Had a lot of grief getting mine to work after getting new ebay key pads.. had to code them in.. Ford in their wisdom use the back window light switch to code in the remotes.. problem is there is no back light demister switch on panelvan.. well actually the wiring is hidden in the dash.. but you also need the relay too.. which was a delete on the vans.. it was like a deep dive that went on for days.. Anyway remote lock worked great for a few years and then it didn't.. just kept cycling shut open, shut open.. After pulling apart actuator I find the little white plastic bit is split, but you can't see until you load a bit of pressure on the lever.. 😠.. grrr.. looks like a very fiddly plastic fix.. Sorry to dump.. needed to vent..

Ipswich resident here, I have an xh series 2 like yours.. Is yours an option 20 if so its an ex cop van, possibly dog squad going by roof vent holes.. I too have had grief with fuel pump.. replaced and still having issues. I just learned there's a relay under the coolant overflow, so perhaps that's my issue.. Good on you for not quitting on fixing bits. Learning about plastic repair myself.. John.

sorry mate just wondering the horn relay looked like it was a 30 fuse. just making sure cause my horn is fucked and i'm not sure how to fix it

I was wondering if you could tell us more about the cruise control and workings thank you great car

What if in my camcorder don't have a rca port?

Xg falcon ute headlights wont work eitger. & changed relays any ideas???

First 😊

Hi most informative. I parked up the EL Wagon years ago, then when the battery went flat...but now we need it. So it spun over, no start. Don't smell fuel out the back or hear that wurr click sound of the pump. Me thinks pump. I've done the filter and its got plenty of fuel. So I shot some fuel into the butterfly and she's off. I can hear the fuel pump relay bank go on now that I know where it is, thanks for that.!! Question: Are you sure its the middle one. I read elsewhere that the base is Green. Just want to be sure before I start pulling brittle plastic connectors apart lol. How do you get them off btw? Fancy no fuse of its own? Interior Light is on btw. So I want to pass the relay OK before I get to the pump. Thanks in advance.

Visited the crash site 2weeks ago.

Thank you very much but although it may be and very easy for you as you expect others to be as wised up as you A little slower and more detail would be very helpfull Thank You .

That motor looks like it's out of a XF. The life of car enthusiast living in Darwin, 2 weeks wait before any repair. Can't wait to see it running, I love these vehicles.

How many KMs did she have on her?

What ISO harness did you use??

I got two metal gaskets with my waterpump kit

does a/cond work and has it got power steer thought xe had auto choke

I remember a cop telling me years ago these were the best things back then to run down crooks lol Higher comp heads etc and would run past 200 clicks no probs I had a July 1982 Build ESP Chestnut paint Sierra tan interior and remeber the sound of the 3 inch mandrel exhaust we put on it My god its sound is still with me today Awesome resto mate and rare !! Well done 🤩🤩

Pretty sure we heard you in Darwin mate haha. That sucks and deserves a few choice words. That would have to come under warranty seeing as how weak it is.

Absolutely beautiful mate! Was it a factory 351?

your great at cars and i subscribed

on the front doors with the bolts closest to engine bay that go under the guard do you line up the door then just tighten them straight in once you get your gaps or what do you do? please reply asap :) cheers great video by the way

Thanks mate, made this a lot easier for me, those screws were being a pest

My bro had a chev impala T - shift 350 ... asked what car am i driving , i said XD Fairmont 🤷 tidy car six cylinder red ' reliable as traveled up and down the country no problems .... His reply , " those boxes " 🥴 yep call it what you want bro , you won't have your one for long the way your driving it 🤣

What a beautiful car.

Beautiful XE

Do you have to re-do the engine timing after you change the sensor? I wanna change it but I don’t wanna re do the timing like some people say you have to! Thanks!!

shes mint mate and the big v8 power sweet

I am waiting for the weather to back off a little. Been belting rain for a few weeks. Soon work will commence. Cheers

Id like to do this to my shed but I would feel like I am going inside some weird area 51 test lab

Love the video, your obvious resto craftsmanship, and restrained OE-style good taste 👌

Beautiful car mate. A lot of the options are the same as my Taxi pack xe czcams.com/video/x80HBFb2hOQ/video.htmlsi=hLuOlZkFRa6_KH9W

Beautiful XE, love the colour and rims!

Hell yeah look at that shit! I'll be damned a four-door Mustang GT I would love to have that LOL
