This Ford Falcon is very beautiful, I'm sad because it wasn't sold in Brazil. 😢

@Horus_Works 10 месяцев назад

Unfortunately they don't sell them here any more either. Australia stopped building cars :(

Thank you! Cheers!

Well done ... a relatively inexpensive mod but the results are outstanding ... the black outs really pop with the white and the car looks fresh and modernised if that makes sense ...

@Horus_Works 7 месяцев назад

Thanks mate, I appreciate you saying so. I really like these simple upgrades that help lift the car. A bit of time in the garage with some tools, learning a few things - makes a nice difference 🙂

@crazygoosegarage9586 10 месяцев назад

Fantastic job as always Erik, looks great

@Horus_Works 10 месяцев назад

Thanks mate, I have to keep up with you and your awesome mini truck build! 😅

@crazygoosegarage9586 9 месяцев назад

@@Horus_Works hah thanks legend! Your mini created a lot of inspiration for me. Keep your eyes peeled for the fur some pretty wild imagination stuff coming up 🤫

@johnblood3367 10 месяцев назад

Looks great. Job well done. Inspires me to get on to my BF2 Fairmont Ghia an get some new inner guards as mine are damaged . I just haven't had the health the last 2 years to do it on my own. I was a bit sceptical at start of video changing the crome grill to black, ( I suppose because I have a std Fairmont Ghia an use to chrome after owning it 16 years ) but it works very well

@Horus_Works 10 месяцев назад

Thanks mate, I think the chrome grille is lovely on the Fairmonts.. (actually one day I'd love a BF Mk2 Fairmont Ghia), but this car has no other chrome bits on it so hence the change. By the way the plastic inner guards are only held on by a few plastic clips and one or two bolts that attach to the front undertray. Hopefully you'll get better soon mate, wishing you all the best.

@tonylashmit2613 9 месяцев назад

Looks way better now. Nice design change!

@Horus_Works 9 месяцев назад

Thanks! I think so too!

G’day Erik, I like how you integrated those BF XR6/XR8 Mk 2.5 Aggressor front bumper bar side pods to your non XR front bar.👍🏼 The Ute is really looking very impressive. 😎

@Horus_Works 6 месяцев назад

Thank you mate, I appreciate you saying so! I like the results too, it was worth the effort.. 👍

Thanks for saying so mate, it was fun and very rewarding 👍

@jamesaustralian9829 16 дней назад

Suprised you didnt source a set of driving lights off a fairlane to go into the bumper. They look great on these utes.

@Horus_Works 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for the visit mate, and I appreciate you saying so :)

If u do any heavy towing or constant long driving id suggest a trans cooler kit its about $200 and will save ur auto from "milkshake" where the coolant and transmission fluid meet each other and may cook ur gearbox

@jamesaustralian9829 16 дней назад

I've done hundreds of thousands of KMs in my BA, fully loaded and towing loaded trailer - towed a Nissan patrol from Adelaide to Alice springs - not once have I had an issue, without a trans cooler. I'm sure old mate will be fine with his BF

@user-po3xj4zh7z 2 месяца назад

I prefer chrome over the black. I'm going chrome on my BF Mk2 RTV.

@Horus_Works 2 месяца назад

I think chrome would look amazing on a dark colour 👍

@jamesaustralian9829 16 дней назад

On the RTVs it looks great if you've got chrome ladder racks and or bullbar. Goes together nicely.

Gets cooler and cooler. My Focus Zetec, for a right-hand-drive Falcon UTE! :-))

@Horus_Works 10 месяцев назад

Haha, thanks but sorry I already have a Focus Zetec too :)

It's been a while since you last uploaded, I hope you're ok.

@Horus_Works 4 месяца назад

Yep, all good brother, just taking a break.

@sykcnt8012 10 месяцев назад

Never use that cheap shit "export" paint on anything, you will regret it.. hard earned lesson learned myself! Dupli color or nothing on my cars.. Great video mate, enjoyed it heaps, like your style, you are a natural , keep up the great work my friend!! cheers Denis

@Horus_Works 10 месяцев назад

Thanks Denis, yep, lesson learnt the hard way about "export"... I appreciate you watching mate.

@jamesaustralian9829 16 дней назад

I painted my trailer with export spray cans, 6 spray cans did the whole thing, and 2 years later its still looking good.

@mk42grevious90 5 месяцев назад

Adhesion promoter should have helped with that black, ive found the plastic primer doesnt really work

@jamesaustralian9829 16 дней назад

A $80 grill from a wreckers would of done the job nicely, especially given selling the Ghia grill for $150 would of made a profit and took far less work

@michaelrobinsoni5516 7 месяцев назад

Hey mate what did you use to fill the spots on the front bumper. Also what is the cleaner you use?

@Horus_Works 7 месяцев назад

Hey Michael, I used a flexible bumper filler to get the chips on the front bumper filled in. You can find it at most auto stores. I also used wax/grease remover as a cleaner before I painted. Hope that helps, and thanks for watching, please sub if you haven't already 👍

@Vee-zx6eh 5 месяцев назад

Hi, I have two fords. One is a BF and I need some new vents that go into the bumper. Do you know where I can get some? I am in Victoria.

@Horus_Works 5 месяцев назад

Hey mate, try eBay - most stuff is still available for BFs: www.ebay.com.au/itm/232513584926

@Deano084 10 месяцев назад

Looks tough! Did you flat and polished the front bar aswel?

@Horus_Works 10 месяцев назад

Thanks mate, I appreciate it. I will flat and polish the bar, just waiting on the paint to dry out a bit :) I put some clear on the headlights too, so they will get a polish as well.

@johnblood3367 10 месяцев назад

@Horus_Works 10 месяцев назад
