THIS EPISODE WE FOUND A RUST FREE 1983 XE FALCON THAT WAS PARKED FOR YEARS, WE GET IT RUNNING AND WORK ON THE SURVIVOR BODY AND PAINT. THEN GIVE IT A BIT OF STREET PRESENCE WITH NEW WHEELS AND A STANCE. SHE'S LOW DOLLAR BUT A COOL LITTLE STREETER.
SO WHAT IS BACKSHED ALL ABOUT ?
WE ARE ALL ABOUT SAVING OLD CLASSIC CARS AND MODIFIYING SOME ALONG THE WAY TOO.
WE LOVE THE CLASSIC RESCUE , FIRST WASH ,FIRST START IN YEARS TYPE OF THING, GETTING OLD JUNK RUNNING AND DRIVING THEN PUT BACK ON THE ROAD AFTER YEARS OF BEING LEFT TO ROT IS WHAT WE DO.
IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOUR INTO FORD , HOLDEN , CHEVY , BIG BLOCK SMALL BLOCK OR ANYTHING IN BETWEEN WE MIGHT HAVE A VIDEO FOR YOU TO WATCH. IVE HAVE AND HAVE HAD A LOT OF CARS INCLUDING XB COUPE , XY FACLON GT , EH HOLDEN , F100 , VB COMMODORE , HQ SEDAN AND WAGON , CORTINA , VALIANT AND SO MANY MORE SO THERE IS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE. IN ON OF OUR VIDEOS I PRETTY MUCH WENT TO HEAVEN FINDING A WRECKING YARD / JUNKARD WHERE THERE WAS EVERYTHING YOU COULD DREAM OF INCLUDING A MONARO , CHARGER , VALIANT PACER , A FALCON COUPE , TORANA , CADILLAC , SOME CHEVY'S EVEN SOME JDM CARS LIKE DATSUN , NISSAN SKYLINE , MITSUBISHI SCORPION BUT IT DIDN'T STOP THERE EVEN 4X4 LIKE A HJ 45 TOYOTA LANDCRUISER AND A 60 SERIES WAGON . I REALLY HAVE NO BIAS I LOVE RESCUING THEM ALL SO DO STICK AROUND AS YOUR BOUND TO SEE SOMETHING YOU LIKE. CHEERS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO WATCH . MICK

Hey Mick Xe of that vintage with oil usage will almost certainly be valve guide oil seals If you turn her off and restart after say refuelling and she blows a cloud of smoke … this is definitely valve guides I’ve changed heaps of em Put each cylinder on top dead centre compression stroke Put air pressure on cylinder You can make a tool out of an old spark plug with the guts knocked out and an air fitting brazed to the top where porcelain used to be You know the drill Take collets and spring off one at a time and replace seals Makes a huge difference The other problem with older 250 / 6’s is the timing chains get incredibly stretched Watch the timing for float !!! Great old beasts and very reliable

It come up good! I love them, growing up my Dad had an XD, XE and a XA. I’ve messing with two XFs at the moment, have a white 91 Ute in Perth I’ve lowered 4”, put on new 15x8 jelly beans, 2.5” exhaust, new tail gate, cleaned the interior and it’s my daily and in NZ I’ve got an 87 efi Fairmont sedan which is lowered on 14x8 jelly beans, full 3” exhaust, 5 speed manual, gt35 turbo on her with a custom exhaust manifold, custom alloy welding intake manifold about to go on next trip over, big injectors etc, blacked out intercooler. Was making 300kw/ 410hp out of the old crossflow at the wheels with the standard intake so be good to see what it makes with the new one. It has nothing to give away its power, looks like a lowered cruiser

Just love watching. I had one of these, bought it new in early 1984. I thought it was a great car. it was an XE panel van GL 4 speed bucket seats. I did 200 thousand Ks in it. I worked in the building trade and it did everything, plenty of room in the back. I should have kept track of what I put in the back. Thanks.

I learned to drive in an XE Falcon 'X-Pac' that we bought from a family friend. It had been sitting in a backyard surrounded by weeds for years. We picked it up for $800 back in 1996. I used to drive it to Muswellbrook high school, my mates and I used to cruise up to Scone cinema on Friday nights or weekends. We had it for years until it got sold to someone who lived either in Muswellbrook, it may have even been Aberdeen. Apparantly he used to take in on big long trips to South Australia. Great cars but couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding. Climbing hills it valve bounced so much you swear you were going to see dimples in the bonnet!

Wow! My XD was gifted to me from my great uncle! It was the same model as the very 1st car I bought myself & it was also the demo model at Torque Ford North Brisbane in 1982- the year I was born. Ohhhhhh! I wish my '79 XD had a makeover from u!!! Beautiful work! I still drive her every week. A car so close to my heart, she's priceless! Love Ur channel, ur taste in cars & the restorations u undertake! Inspiring 🫶🏽🧡🫶🏽

I had one of these an s-pac 4speed from new Rock solid Basic but bulletproof I still have an xd panel van Off the road now but 1280000 km Yes 1.28 million ks You can fix the door handle problem by replacing the pivot rivet on the back of the handle with a self tapper screw PS I’m probably as old as your poppy! 400,000km she’s barely run in !!! A set of valve stem oil seals will fix the oil consumption Common problem Don’t need to remove the head

@@backshed5295 You're welcome. I had a 2-door LJ 202 4 speed with LSD, and I loved that car until I lent it to a friend who wrote it off. I collected $400. The youngest car I've ever owned was built in 1979. I detest new cars. They are always whining about something, and you've no hope of fixing them yourself. Only time I went to a mechanic was for reg or alignment.
