Where are you Jase?

You are very lucky and I am very envious 😁

Way cooler than the US mustang.

Great score mate, just love the xa sedans and coupes ,look forward two watching the progress with interest

Have you change swing motor oil?

On old muscles car, is it better to have auto or manual?

I'd patch up the rust holes and drive as it is

You can buy brand new quarter panels and boot lid outer skins from Southern Custom and classics in Adelaide

I have the Aeroquip AC hose and fittings. You can get 90, 45 degree hose ends. I am running a Vintage Air polished Sanden compressor and bracket with a V belt. I just re-oringed them all 5 years in and used plenty of Nylog sealant during assembly

Great resto work awesome cars there too

Bet this gave you some huge motivaton and inspiration mate! I really love the XAs with the driving lights as well, single headlight doesnt look as tough. Have to give us an ETA when you plan on the coupe first tear down! Have to find room to put the ZF somewhere while she's getting pulled apart!

Thanks Jason, looking forward to following the next restoration series. Seeing all those coupes together gave me flashbacks to my time working at the Sydney Hilton car park and the year the national Ford Dealer Convention was held in the hotel. I think we had 400 Fords in each day for three days. All top spec Fairmonts, Fairlanes, LTDs and GTs. Plenty of coupes, nice cars but gee we hated reverse parking them! Cheers.

This Fairlane is an example of what Ford could have produced if their priority was making quality cars rather than making as much profit as they could on each unit. Top effort Jason. Fords become a good car as long as you pull them apart, reengineer them, replace the shitty crap materials Ford use, with some reasonable quality materials and then put them back together again properly. The same applies to GMs average efforts.

Some nice coupes. I much prefer the stock look personally. 👍

My Friend, doubt your pretty Better-half will never make a Freight Train wanna take a dirt road! As a long time Chevy fan those Ford XA and XB coupes are great looking cars. I look forward to you working on your coupe. How long until the facility is ready for you to begin?

Well done Jason. You deserve it mate. You did a fine job. Looking forward to the coupe project. Your wife is gorgeous. You are correct. God Bless mate.

Hey Jason, I've loved the Fairlane resto and can't wait for the coupe. Your footage of the Geelong meeting took me back. Dad bought a XW wagon (big block 221) from Coffey Ford in Ringwood in 1969 when I was 6 years old. (channeling Peter Anderson) The family and friends have had a succession of falcons since. My first car was a mint (baby poo mustard) XY which being a typical youth I destroyed. I wish I had looked after it. I currently have an AU that I bought new in 2002. It's ugly as fuck as AUs are, but it's growing on me. So surprised how often people admire it. I don't pretend it's up there with X series falcons but it's coming into it's own. Please keep the content coming. Cheers.

Can't wait for the coupe Jason!

Great video mate, sorry I didn't get there, it looked like a fabulous day. Hope all is well... and I haven't forgotten your fuse box haha, cheers and take care.

Great job! Now for the coupe...

I've followed the restoration series since the first episode and it was great to see the car in person at AFD (coincidently parked next to my mate's XY). Fantastic work Jase, you should be very proud of your efforts. Looking forward to seeing the XA get the same treatment! 👍👍

So nice 👏👏👏👏👏

Simply stunning. Thankyou for taking the effort to take us along the restoration ride. Another Aussie classic rescued. Thoroughly enjoyed.

The car looks amazing! Nice car show too, I love Australian muscle! ❤ Greetings from Croatia!

Congratulations Jason. Looks and sounds great :)

The scene where you drive over the camera looks like a scene from the Thunderbirds as the shed and Fairlane look like miniature models.😊

That car is a credit to you cheers

The Fairlaine looks and runs like a real charmer, shame about the AC but I recall you having issues with the pipes and fittings. Hope you get it sorted soon. I loved the coupes, I remember them from back in the day when I was still young and pimply faced. I also remember seeing a lot of them with normal sized tyres in the back and they looked awful. You always had to put on super sized wheels and tyres in the back to fill in that huge rounded quarter. A while back I chanced upon a replica (down to the last nut and bolt) of the Mad Max interceptor which also had the glove box lid signed by the actors and crew of Mad Max which I managed to take pictures of. It was in a workshop getting some work done and the workshop's owner didn't want to talk about it and swore me to secrecy not to tell anyone it was there. He insisted it was a replica and not an actual movie car but it had too many movie details to be a replica and I think it was more likely to be one of several cars used in the movie especially since he was being really protective about me not telling anyone it's location at that time, that's my thought anyway.

It may have cost a camera but that shot was worth it! Thank you do much for this extra episode, I'm looking forward to seeing the Coupe and your new factory.

Great Fairlane it has been a long ride but its done now onward to the coupe I'm looking forward to that series.

Congratulations on your wedding and of course, the competition of the Fairlane. This has been a fantastic series as you’ve shown the real world reality of a classic car restoration. Starting out with a car with previous crash damage and old dodgy repairs means you’ve got a mountain of work just to get back to ground zero before you can start the restoration proper. It’s easy to get disillusioned with a project of this magnitude but you got through the dark times and you definately deserve to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Congrats again mate and enjoy your brand new ride. Looking forward to the coupe project.

I lost audio, did anyone else?

This was an EXCELLENT video. You take especially good care of your machine 👏 👏 👏 I only have a 35G, but that was Some Timing finding the clogged cooler before too long (and realizing to change the fluid) Also, not sure about the Mid size machines but on the Minis (up to 6t) there's actually TWO filters in the tank... the regular big one that gets changed frequently but also a "suction filter" that's supposed to get changed with the fluid (@ 2k hrs). I never see it in a kit and Nobody mentions it.. So if you have one you might want to look into it. Again.. Great video, thnx for posting it 👍 😀

Congratulations to Katrina and you on your marriage you honored your promise and gave her a stunning car for a stunning bride and what a wonderful ending of a very engaging series loved every episode . Xa series next!

Well done Jason, enjoy many miles of cruising with the lovely better half 👍

Congratulations Jason to you and Katrina. And to ZF. Well done mate 👍 🍺 🍻

Congrats to you both may your journey together be full of good health, love and respect always to each other thank you so much too for the brilliant Fairlane resto build been brilliant.

Congrats! Both great achievements.

Congratulations Jason and Katrina. I enjoyed the ZF build Jason, please keep us updated on the teething issues you mentioned.

Congratulations Jason. What a lovely reward for finishing a car 😂.

Looks absolutely awesome Mate I have enjoyed watching the progress. Congratulations on your wedding. Your electrical drain shouldn’t be to hard to find. Using a a multimeter set to current in series with your positive terminal to read the circuit current. You mentioned Pete had set you up with a blade fuse box. Remove each fuse in turn until you see the current drop to get an indication of which circuit is casing the problem. From there you should be able to trace the problem. Hope this helps cheers Scott

Congratulations Jason. Now we look forward to seeing you work on the coupe now! Re the mini tape roll you made, I saw another good idea. You can make a mini roll with a 10mm socket. Just wrap with tape and away you go. Credits to Eric from South Main Auto on youtube.

Congratulations Jason & Katrina. I enjoyed the journey of the ZF. Thank you.

Congratulations to you and Katrina. Wishing you both a long, happy and healthy life together. Such a lovely ceremony, confess I was a bit teary by the end. Oh, the Fairlane looks great too! All the best, looking forward to your next adventure. Cheers, Phillip

Congratulations Jason on your wedding! Beautiful restoration on the Fairlane,have loved every moment of it.Can’t wait for the Xb coupe.Cheers mate

I started watching the films of your restoration project on this Ford in the early Autumn of last year and had to play catch up; it’s been a fun run watching the blood, sweat, and tears you put into this car, Mr. Jason. Congratulations on tying the knot with your now Better-half. Now you’ll never need to make another decision again, huh?!😜

Congratulations. I have watched from the very beginning. Well done! 👍👍👍👍

Jason, my heartiest congratulations to you on your marriage to the lovely Katrina. May you enjoy a lifetime of happiness together. Kudos to you also, for seeing the ZF resto through to the finish, the old girl presents really well and looks & sounds a treat. Your laid back, unpretentious onscreen persona, (much like your mate Pete), is a huge reason I enjoy the skills & experiences you both share through the thoughtful content on your UA-cam videos. As I'm about to embark on my own coupe resto, I'm enthusiastically looking forward to your upcoming coupe series as well.

Congratulations not just on finishing the ZF but also on getting Married. I've really enjoyed the build and have been watching since the beginning and I'm looking forward to seeing you work on the XA Coupe and to seeing the factory. Just want to wish you and Katrina all the very best in the future, Thank you for sharing those highlights from the ceremony.

Congratulations to you and your beautiful new wife! Thanks so much for this series of videos on your ZF Fairlane. I found your channel from Mr. Pete A. I have learned so much and gained such inspiration from watching your videos. Best of luck to you and yours. And can't wait to see the next series of videos. Thanks Mate, from America.
