I had a red VL Calais Wagon a few years back, but I sold it for a silver VY wagon, but now I've bought this XB wagon - it isn't registered yet, but when it is it'll be my daily driver and the VY will be on the market. Time for something old school! This was my VL... ... and this is my VY Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I had good work mate that bought and restored a old 351 manual XC fairmont GXL - lovely car to drive, very very comfy and sounded awesome.

That xb wagon looks pretty tuff man. I like the mags. Why did you ever sell the vl looks clean outside?????

Yeah the VL was very clean and tidy - I've regretted selling it quite a bit, but it was the right thing to do at the time. I'm still in contact with the guy who bought it, he's looking after it well Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Awesome! That Falcon looks tough! These are a really cool car to drive. My uncle has an XB GT and it's a really different experience compared to the modern cars Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I put on some new door trims - aiming for white interior with bucket seats, black dash, carpet and centre console like on the GTs Here's one of the old door trims The newbies just on without any tidying up Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Sent the head away for crack repairs, it's back in now with a freshly cleaned out radiator, new XF inertia reel seatbelts in the back. Not long now til it's ready to head off for a roadworthy Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Looks nice mate. Atleast it's a real Ford. I would've castrated you if you bought an EA wagon. lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

what sort of wheels are they mate? looks good dont see too many wagons round ay

I think the wheels are an old cragar wheel.

They're actually made by Dragway, and called 'Indy'. Cragar made something similar back in the days.

You are correct, Dragway Indys, 15x7 in the front and 15x8 in the back. I'm a big fan of Jellybeans but these ones really suit the car so I'm going to stay with them. Thinking of going a bit of whitewall action with them too Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

looks tuff this car, I used to have an XC GXL sedan, with a 351c on board. Best car I ever had. Keep up the good work, I imagine you'll be getting a lot of looks where ever you drive.
