finally bought a 1969 Mach 1
Champagne Gold black trim 351 fmx 9"
car is already RHD and was on club reg
just need to get it RWC and then join a club and put it on club reg so we can go cruising

its a good solid ex californian car and i got build sheet, ford workshop manual and piles of receipts for the rebuild

looking forward to learning a lot about these beautiful machines

Welcome to the forum and congrats, sounds like a great car. Now that you're sorted for a Mustang I think you should sell your wild plum XA GT to me.

Nice.
He even has the compulsary massive garage, even better.
I can recommend a Mustang club.
Guess which one?

Awesome, nice buy!!

I think you need to mess your shed a bit, it's too tidy and organised and you can see the floor

Welcome and great looking cars

wildplum · « **Reply #7 on:** August 30, 2011, 10:10:49 pm »

would like to join the Mustang club but i live near Seymour and work long hours so getting to meeting on the other side of Melb makes it very hard

Wildplum,

There would be no issue with joining MOCA Vic, we have a N'thern Vic chapter (Bendigo & Ballarat) guy's. Also couple around Wang area.

Welcome aboard.. Nice XA GT to top off the 69 Mach 1

If you can, keep Sunday 23-Oct open ... Mustang Roundup, excellent showing of Ponies of all ages!

Welcome and nice cars, you have both a Clevo and a Windsor now.

Sensible choice buying locally at the moment.

Hi wildplum, you can usually get that kind of info from the "Marti Report" if you have one.

If not just google Marti Report and go from there. Enjoy

Why's that, the AUD is good right now.

The carpet under the front tyres ... is this for preventing flat spots? I hear that's a thing of the past, new tyres don't develop flat spots like the old ones used to.

I've also heard carpet can hold in moisture and promote rust but you only have small pieces.

If you don't mind me asking, why? Is it due to the RHD conversion?
