1987 Ford Falcon S - Pak review from Australia and New Zealand
"A very fast, affordable icon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My power steering box leaks sometimes and the head builds up lots of oil sludge if not changed at every service. Nothing else has gone wrong.
General comments?
I changed the setup completely on mine. It was already great, but I put on roller rockers, lowered the overall height and added a shift kit to my auto transmission.
I drag off VL Commodores at the lights, which is my main achievement, but the big one is the paintwork. Totally original, not a scratch.
My car is king of the XF world.
