GOING ALL THE WAY
« on: March 05, 2014, 10:31:45 am »
My retirement project was completed about 6 years ago and seen on forums then but i repost the album for anyone of todays participants to see.

Eng, g.box, dash, steering column and all electrics from an AU XR8. Jag IRS, RRS struts & rack, ZX 300 seats, Laser elec mirrors, Budnik wheels.  Stainless everywhere.

Happy to share how any of it was done with anyone interested.

G'day Marshall,

I was in awe of your car build on JustMustangs forum years ago - I wondered where you'd got to.

Nice to see it's still in your tender loving care.

I put so much into it I could'nt bear to part with it until they take my license off me.

Stephen it is manual.  The damaged XR8 i bought as a donor car had a T5 (cable clutch) so there were no issues other than fabricating engine / gearbox mounts.  Having installed the whole Falcon pedal system helped ensure the clutch worked as Ford intended. I've had no problems with it.
