1985 Ford Falcon XF review from Australia and New Zealand
"Cruiser.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Broken Cylinder Head.
New Bushes.
Door Handles.
Cracked dashboard.
Center console worn.
Tires.
Door Locks broken.
Radiator.
General comments?
I hated it when the cylinder head blew.
I had just bought the car, geez was I angry.
Thats when I had problems with the radiator.
There are a few problems with it since, but nothing that a bit of time and money cannot fix.
Its got 5 Spoke California mags on it, and a beautiful paint job.
I plan to get a 5.0 litre on it. That 3.3 was great for learning on.
But a 5.0 would do nicely. I am correct in that there are a few of these out there?
Next on the shopping list is new suspension, locks, muffler and a brand new exhaust.
