Restoring a Ford XY Sedan, replacing rear quarter panels.

Gday everyone, been a while but finally i have started the restoration on the XY sedan, i have got the car running and driving after it sat for 30 years in the wreckers at Mt Isa, yes that's right 30 years. and i show you how i replace the lower rear quarter panels.
This is a big deal for me as its my first XY so i thought it would be appropriate to give the project a title, so its going to be Project "ROGUE XY" I have ordered personalised plates to go with the build and seal the deal.
Next episode should be a good one as i have ordered the front end suspension and brakes from Castlemaine Rod Shop and rear end from Motor Fab, i will also show you the wheel combo I'm running.
thanks for watching, Cheers

G'day everyone, I am working on the falcon over the next 2 weeks so should have another episode out shortly. Will do my best to improve the audio and get some good content for you. I have had some new parts show up, I will put them in episode 6 as well. Cheers.

I subbed just because you do great work and it's helping people learn. Haven't had an old Ford for 30 years . Sold my Xt GT and bought a Chrysler regal se in 1990 . Still drive the regal se but it a hot 360 . Please drop a Cleveland in this XY , they're a great engine.

Thanks Peter, yes it is getting a Cleveland, looks like being a 393 all said and done, just waiting on the US/AUS dollar to improve to get bang for buck. Im keen to get my hands on a wagon myself.

@@barefootrestos I put a 351 Cleveland in my Xt GT, great engine. Really went well, only trouble I had was the Bosch ignition modules went sometimes. Too right about our dollar, when I built the 360 I had everything sent over and our dollar was the same as the US dollar. Freight was cheap to, even had the heads sent over. The Cleveland will fly , you'll have fun with that beast.
