    That's just awesome, I love it. Welcome to the forum.
    “…The lies (Western slander) which well-meaning zeal has heaped round this man are disgraceful to ourselves only…How one man single-handedly, could weld warring tribes and wandering Bedouins into a most powerful and civilized nation in less than two decades….A silent great soul, one of that who cannot but be earnest. He was to kindle the world; the world’s Maker had ordered so." - Thomas Carlyle

    Looks soooo good. Well done.

    I remember seeing pics when it first popped up on xfalcon many moons ago, really does look like a factory xf v8.

    I wonder how different the e series might have been if the xf had copped the el2 wheezer in the late 80s....

    Thanks all for the positive feedback. It has been around for a while now. Still looks & goes great. No problems what so ever. Might ned to touch up the paint a bit (I'm the only one who picks it) Few shots of work in progress below
