Hello everyone. I migrated over here from the other fordforums message board that is based in the US but seemingly dominated by Aussies. I live in Ohio, USA.
I have a 1972 XA Fairmont that was redone sometime into an XB Falcon. It was originally a 351C car with auto trans and 9" diff. The only thing that has changed is that it is now a manual with a toploader. That was also done sometime before I had it brought to the US. It may end up with a 5-speed TKO tranny.
Sorry, I just found this thread. I've posted around a few places on this board already. I am sure there are a few here that may know me. I also go by the name of Aussie XAXB on some other Ford message boards.
I am going to be 42 in July. I am married (22 years!) with 3 kids of which one has married and left. I am sure we will see him back here in a couple years.

I've been into cars since I was 16 and started with a 1968 Dodge Charger I bought when I was 18. I also went to tech school in the mid-80's, worked as a mechanic, and now I am a Toolmaker at Ford.
