Fabulous work, gentlemen! What an epic project... I am really looking forward to seeing this one come together! What a treat to see how good most of the structure is on that car! Who would've suspected that storing them upside down in the bush was the best way to preserve them... Great stuff... All the best from here!
Hello mate, we discussed doing a risky thing by removing the roof with no bracing. The car only moved about 2mm and was brought into perfect alignment with a light application of a floor jack at the front. It looks terrible but is really solid, cheers.
This is a truly miraculous save!! When you all were cleaning out the dross I kept saying it can't be that solid down under. WOW! These kind of projects are not for the feint hearted you need a lot of experience and guts to tackle an abandoned rollover. Great job!!!
Thanks Wesley. I wasn't concerned about the mess on the floor... for perhaps 20+ years the car was on its roof, so the underside of the floors would have been sitting in full sun... and DJ said they were okay haha
It looks like it's past saving but listening to you and Graham listing what needs to be done and how, inspires confidence it can and will be resurrected. Some interesting and different items in the workshop thanks for sharing. Couldn't help noticing the Wolseley hub caps on your trailer!
idk what I love most about this... an XA being restored, or the fact that so many Aussie RUclipsrs have been involved in the process so far! I know he's not Aussie, but here's hoping HubNut comes back to Australia to drive the XA once it's restored. 👍
I'm going to love watching the progress of this build. The XA is my favourite Falcon, of all time, the "revolutionary model". I can't tell you the last time I saw one on the road over here in NZ. In 1980 I bought an Aussie assembled 72 XA Falcon 500 sedan. 302C, column auto, bench, no power steer, parchment interior and vinyl roof, in copper bronze. Sold it in 1988. Wish I still had it. I turned down the opportunity in the past to buy a 250 2v Coupe also, if only we knew then what we know now.
Don't forget that the current prices are not sustainable. Interest rates are on the rise and the first things to get ditched when money gets tight is the trusty old project car. I think these cars will all get back to realistic money... I mean $305K for a Cobra? Pfffft!
Great content guys, really enjoyable to see this coming along. It's good to see a car like this that almost wants to be restored, us who have done this work before know some fight you the whole way
It's funny you should mention that it 'wants to be restored,' we had the very same conversation about it. The car which fought me from the beginning was the XC... the XW was easy and straight forward. I'm hoping this XA is the same, cheers.
Some people find a donor car for a floor, you’ve just done the opposite finding a roof . What a solid bottom end which is very hard to find nowadays. I took note of Graham saying vinyl floor compared to carpet causing rust , exactly what my VJ Valiant wagon has done , it’s solid in the plenum ,pillars and sills but needs foot wells replaced . I remember DJ finding this , I’d love to have his access to the bush out West . Great project Pete , high dollar car when finished , cheers
What a great video! I enjoyed seeing you guys discussing and showing the "splicing" work on the car.. Really looking forward to following this awesome project 👍
Hi Pete,I really love how this car has come back from oblivion. Graham has done a sterling job on that roof. Sorry I haven't been in contact yet but I have been through hell and back having to move out and find another place with all my gear and my 2 Telstars... All is finally good again.....for now Cheers mate,Rach
Hey Rach, you had to move? That sucks particularly if you weren't prepared for it... thanks again for your support and please let me know if there's anything I can do from this end x.
@@PeterAndersons Yes mate,my super cheap country property on an acre with huge workshop that had been on the market for 11 years with no lookers,well...it was bloody bought by a couple so I had to get out... I'm lucky that the real estate found me a place eventually but it has no storage,no workshops just a small garden shed that leaks and had termites in it too . I have lost a few valuable things but on the whole,I still have my cars. I'll let you know more when we have a chat,until then,take care and I really love that XA..cheers,Rach x
Peter!! You and Graham have your work cut out for you, but man!! That car is looking better already!! This is going to be a great series for certain!! I look forward to the next installment!! Awesome job to the both of you!!!
Well Peter, it looks like it can be done but it's gonna take a lot of work. Graham though looks like he fixed some of the big problems which will make it easier. It will be good to see the XC get done at some point.
It seems to be a lot more enjoyable when there are two of you working together on the same project. You both have the same passion. By the way, your trailer looks a lot like mine, from Bayswater trailer factory for memory. One day I will catch up with my youtube watch later list. Keep knocking them out Pete. Regards Steve.
Absolutely, it's funny you mentioned Bayswater trailer factory, as that's where I bought it in 2007... anyway I've been toying with the idea of a flat bed car trailer and Googled the trailer factory which apparently isn't there any more!
Thanks Harvo, I get the same impression and although I don't want to jinx it, so far everything has fitted so easily... Graham mentioned that it's like it 'wants' to be restored and I had the same thought. The XW was the same, where the XC fought me pretty hard, cheers.
I don't comment much, but do enjoy watching your channel when I can. Nice save on what most would leave in the bush. Going to enjoy watching this progress...
Great effort guys, I certainly wouldn't have taken it on. I like that you want to paint it the original colour Peter. You need an XB next to complete XA XB & XC ☺
You would be surprised at how much massaging the door frames get at the factory with a rubber hammer. Worked at Ford, Eagle Farm for a short time on the metal finish line. Great work guys.
Pete, that hole in the lower part of the dash fascia looks like it's in the right spot for where the manual choke cable is fitted. Think I've got one somewhere, if you need it.
If you go to the Melbourne Steam &Traction Engine club in Scoresby one of the members has both the diesel and petrol versions of the Radial engine. Warwick is always keep to start them up for an audience
Hello peter PHILL with the xf Falcon it was great to meet up with you and graham it going to be a great lot of vid on the xa keep up the great work chat soon 😀
Great vid Pete 👌👍Graham did an amazing job im glad this one is getting saved really looking forward to the nxt vid , on a side note how funny is that sheep
I wasn't one of the ones who suggested she get crushed but geez, she did look pretty rough. Mind you, the right people can usually fix almost anything. In the end the car came up from hopeless to totally doable. As for the tacho, there's no problem changing from 6 to 8 cyl but you'll need a 7k dial, these instruments are dead easy. BTW, I did notice a name missing from the titles. 😭
Hi guys loving the work on this one! Peter, a personal question for you. You hinted you know someone that can supply you all the proper trace coloured wire to redo prices of the wiring loom. Could you tell me who that is? I'm trying to renew the rear taillight wiring on my XB sedan and I some of the trace colours I am really struggling to find.
It really is a diamond in the rough. Who would have thought the correct storage technique for a 70's falcon is upsidedown..! Do you know why the car was on it's roof in the first place? Seems more trouble to flip it over all those years ago than not.
I find it interesting that the original passenger door has the hole to accommodate a remote mirror that they didn't have as standard. Only the drivers side was remote on Fairmonts and GT's.
What's the plan with the drivetrain? 351 and a 4 spd manual box? But if you wanted to go wild, what about the 3V 5.4 and the six speed ZF transmission?
I have a freshly machined Clevo ready for a few other odds and ends then assembly, also have a 302/C4 on the way. I'm thinking of restoring it as a K code Fairmont at this stage...
Great work I love the xa model are you planning to paint the car in its pottery beige I've got a zf Fairlane in the same colour not many people use that colour
Excellent video thanks Peter and Graham. Peter, did I see a while ago that you had some XA hubcaps? Do you have four? I would love to see them on this XA, providing the Fairmonts had them of course.
I think it's worthwhile... Particularly with given the vastly over inflated price of local cars in poor condition. Believe it or not, now it has a proper roof, I think it's an easier car to do than the XC...
well done peter and graham some fabulous work on show a car like that here in the UK would probably be rusted out and proves how much better the climate is over in Oz i look forward to seeing this one come back to life and looks a solid car to work on ironically not long back i have seen this XA fairmont estate here in the UK and met this guy who owned it an amazing story ruclips.net/video/CRoGSFXPXcY/видео.html well done to you both keep up the hard work daniel
Way more work than an average bloke like me could ever contemplate...but if you have the skills and the mates, why not I suppose. I own a 2004 FPV GT in mint condition (14,000Km) and I like it because I don't have to work on it...just drive it once a month. I prefer to watch you doing the hard yackka.
What a task aye but she got gd bones this old falc I can c a winner coming from this crikey Peter u really do set yourself up for some huge projects but you’ve made some good investment moves ?! At the same time my fav falcone the xa Xb Xc luv em how bout a resto mod with BA 5.4 v8 and control blade rear sus ohhb yesh
Maybe I'm missing the point...but how is this XA possibly worth saving? Must be years of panelbeating ahead? I love the XA, but surely there is one less rooted around for sale? No disrespect meant, I just really fail to see how this i worth it?
It's all in its story... 35 years in the outback according to the Elders and it's been on it's roof for most of that and been used as target practice. So far the shell, roof and doors have been cheap. Graham has straightened the car and fitted the roof and the interior is being done by Jason Hill; both gents are master craftsmen in their fields. I will be handling all metalwork, body repairs, wiring, painting, mechanical reconditioning and assembly from this point. The car will be very reasonably priced to restore. If I was to buy a local car with a good roof, it would be significantly more rusted in its substructure and be around $10K more to buy before any work has been carried out. No disrespect taken, this thing is a total gem, cheers.
Its actually only been 12months and I do run a bussiness and Peter is getting them done for free. So they have to be done in between everything else. And I don't recall you offering todo them for him! So just be mindful before you mouth off some people have life's to live and have small children to look after aswell.
@@turbotheamericanstaffy im in the position of actually being really good mates with Peter. Alot goes on behind the scenes, you have no idea... so until you end up in the same position as me and have all of the facts, id suggest you just cool ya jets hot shot!
Hey Staffy, I've been feeling really guilty about the amount of work Graham has done for me. I also made it clear that there was no hurry with the guards at all, given that he has to run a business and I was tired of the car fighting me anyhow. I've spent some time with Graham and was amazed at the huge backlog of work he has, as well as some very demanding customers to boot, yet there's only one of him... It isn't unusual for him to work well into the night where he's consequently missing rest and time with his young family. Basically, it's a bit rough to say 'just get them done' my stuff can wait as long as he sees fit, cheers.
Fixable it definitely is but it’s a bit of a stretch to say it’s a good car, completely out of reach for the average bloke in a shed, I’d much rather be replacing a floor pan and sill extension than a complete roof, it’s a bit sad that these are so thin on the ground that cars like this are seen as a viable to repair, the hours involved in rust repairs alone would be mind blowing and the chances of this car bending out of shape with only moderate power is high, full respect must go to you though for even attempting a repair on this scale
True, but so far this original XA V8 has been about a third of what you would pay for a rusted out 6 cylinder car in need of complete restoration anyway. I have most parts necessary to turn this banger into a swan.
Fabulous work, gentlemen! What an epic project... I am really looking forward to seeing this one come together! What a treat to see how good most of the structure is on that car! Who would've suspected that storing them upside down in the bush was the best way to preserve them... Great stuff... All the best from here!
The downunder method of car storage. What else would you expect down here Scott
Hello mate, we discussed doing a risky thing by removing the roof with no bracing. The car only moved about 2mm and was brought into perfect alignment with a light application of a floor jack at the front. It looks terrible but is really solid, cheers.
I think it's awesome that you are bringing this old xa back
What a find, a great start point on this one. 👍👍
Fantastic work, saving something 95% of people would bin. Excited for this project.
This is a truly miraculous save!! When you all were cleaning out the dross I kept saying it can't be that solid down under. WOW! These kind of projects are not for the feint hearted you need a lot of experience and guts to tackle an abandoned rollover. Great job!!!

Keen eye Ken, yes they're Wolseley 24/80 hub caps. There must still be quite a few salvageable wrecks to be restored out there.
Been waiting for this video. Been teased by Graham. All I can say is Peter you like a challenge. Thanks for making your videos for all to enjoy.
I absolutely love XA's and am so looking forward to this series, keep them coming Peter!
I am amazed by the amount of gold paint and how good it looks
Me too! And I'll paint it the original colour.

Absolutely incredible for a couple of day's work.

Well I'm in no doubt at all that you will bring this back to better than new, what a great team effort.
Wow you guys are doing a great job on the XA. Good to see you are saving an other car from the grave yard. Keep up the good work.
What a great video! I enjoyed seeing you guys discussing and showing the "splicing" work on the car.. Really looking forward to following this awesome project 👍
After 40 plus years in the trade ,on Ford's etc, I can fully understand the dramas and time consumpt. Looking forward to seeing it done.clem.
Thanks Clem, I should be stressed or concerned about restoring this but I'm just not... I'm hanging to tear into it.
Can’t wait for this series of videos! Awesome work Peter and Graham!

Graham needs one of those big American Shop Vacs for his shop so he can vacuum stuff up and not breathe all that dust and crap in.
there is a few panel beaters and workshops that have these cars in Maryborough i dont know there names
Love your passion
Totally worth the heartache to save it, not financially viable unless your rate is $1/hour, but nonetheless it will be enjoyable viewing. Good luck!

Peter has the id tags, they were removed and stored for safety
Then I sold them - kidding!
Awesome job guys, don't listen to the detractors, its a great project
anything can be resored ....... depends on how deep your pockets are
True, but so far this original XA V8 has been about a third of what you would pay for a rusted out 6 cylinder car in need of complete restoration anyway. I have most parts necessary to turn this banger into a swan.
