Building a Fairy with Muscle...

[FAT245]

Hey Guys,

Some may know of my Build, some might not!

Basically I bought the car off a Family member, who has owned it since brand new!

She was originally a VCT Powered S1.5 Fairlane Ghia.
It didn't stay stock for long, as I outfitted it with a stereo system and some other bits but I have always wanted to have a V8 Ford..
So after driving it as a 6Cylinder for a few years, I bit the bullet and started getting a V8 for it,
I sourced all the bits for the conversion then took a long weekend to perform the conversion!

Upgraded the Brakes to a T1 master Cylinder, BF XR8 322mm Front Brakes and BA 303mm Rear Brakes.

The 5.0 was Basically a Stock Series 1 XR8 Bottom end with Ported GT40Ps, Custom Comp Cam and Trickflow Track Heat Manifold.














Then I decided to get some new wheels for the ol' gal.










Was having some fun cruising the car around and scaring some HSV owners until one night there was a wobble from the front end on the way home from work then a loud grinding noise..
