I love those seats - just great.
I think I'd prefer a manual 'box, but otherwise wouldn't change a thing.

Matt Love the car, attention to detail is imense, but as stealth said, Aussie's love to see the blower sticking out of the bonnet & thats the only bit I'm not keen on but thats a minor detail. For people who havent seen one before, this is a 1986 XF out of the box:  |

 that's rather bright... Astounding level of detail, LOVE the seats and the offensive blower too. Reminds me of something from the cover of street machine off of the mid nineties! Knowing the ozzies, this will be absolutely hammered too

Looked a lot of cash for what it was. |

I saw this car at a show in Adelaide and didn't understand it at all. The boot, bonnet and doors all open and close electrically, they had them opening and closing in a timed sequence. An enormous amount of high-quality work has been done to this car, but I'm not really sure why. The XF is a fairly odd base car to start off with, as they're generally only thought of as old bombs. I like the hip which they've got going on over the rear wheelarch and the rear of the roofline.

I think it looks awsome! I'm not an XF fan or ford for that matter, but I respect time, effort and dedication where its due. I'm not sure why so many people dislike blowers?!?!? I'd love to supercharge my car :-D Has anyone seen the old Aussie film "running on empty"? there is a stunning 57 chevy which is blown and its damn insane.

I don't dislike blowers, but on this style of car they go against the smoothness of the overall look.

That is normally not my thing at all but for some reason I absolutely love that! The coupe conversion and roof chop are beautifully proportioned and it just works really well!
Big thumbs up!

Pretty wicked looking Falcon for sure! As for paying $5000 for one in Malta, a rough 6 cylinder is worth a few hundred here. $5k AUD would buy you a 351 XE, which I am a fan of, possibly thanks to Uncle Dick:
