UK XA

STREET Machine had my XA wagon in the Readers’ Rockets section a few years ago when I first started restoring it, so here’s an update. I found the car here in the UK. It’s an original Uk-supplied XA Fairmont wagon, was Jewel Green with a 302, sold from a dealer in the south. It was left under a tree for a long time and was very rusty, so I had to save it. It’s had loads done so far – sills, lower doors, guards and lower sections, complete plenum repair, and the list goes on. I should have the shell rust repaired by June. It’s not far off now. Going all-original with a strong driveline. Can’t beat our Aussie cars; nothing compares. Will keep you posted.
