Now things are settling down a bit since returning to Oz I need a tow car.
Before I left for the UK in 2006 this is what we used to tow the race car
4.0 straight 6, 4 speed auto 1992 Falcon wagon. cut rust from sill and generally tidied it up. had it for 6 years and averaged about 16 litres per 100Km's
a few months ago I picked this up
2002 AU Falcon Ute with canopy...4.0 straight 6, 5 speed manual 1 tonne load capacity (sort off) and 1600kg towing capability upgradable to 2300Kg's
Had to loose canopy and add some 18's
then had to lower it, 2 inches in front 4 in rear, could come down another 1 in the rear too I think
so far have replaced both doors, bonnet, grille, bumper, one front arch, rear tailgate and rear bumper
dopey eyed thing!
Have upgraded the front suspension to later model with larger diameter brakes and bigger two piston slider calipers, poly-bushed throughout
However its just dropped compression on numbers 3 and 4 so will swap engines with a spare I have.
Want to swap dash and seats out for darker and better condition versions as its been as tradesmans ute for its life hence needing to swap out all the wobbly panels. Might splash it with some colour too...perhaps matching matte black and maybe fit ABS.
Just need to find a place that will now swallow 3 cars and a trailer.
