1987 Ford LTD FE review from Australia and New Zealand
"The ultimate cruiser"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Body was in bad condition.
Engines a little worn (considering mileage)
Worn seats.
Front suspension needed ball joints, bushes.
General comments?
It is cheap to run, seeing as how its on LPG.
I upped the performance ante with a better exhaust, because the stock one is way to restrictive.
The ride's like a limo, plenty of space inside, and interiors easy to modify.
I installed a CD player, hi-quality front and rear speakers, and now a 12" sub resides in the boot.
The front suspension has been lowered with Pedder's springs. Although the ride is a bit harsher, the handling improved dramatically, and it looks mean.
The 4.1 E.F.I motor will be reconditioned with hi comp pistons a 'nice' cam, head work and improved breathing. it should be good for 180-190 kw, so I'm ready to kick some holden butt.
