Ford Convert

Postby EL2794 » Sun Jan 06, 2013 10:50 pm

G'day all.

My names Gordon and I'm from Adelaide. Have always been into Ford's and particularly the Falcon/Fairmont variety, of which I still own one. In 2008 my family bought a 4Gen Liberty wagon, and since then I've envied the quality, reliability and overall practicality of the car. They are currently looking at buying a second 4Gen Liberty sedan to replace a Honda Civic.

I've heard about the Australian Liberty forums before, but only just signed up tonight. I usually spend most of my time on the Australian Ford Forums.

Basically I'm here to learn more about the Liberty's as I'm seriously considering upgrading to a 3Gen or 4Gen Liberty. Meeting some new folk as well along the way can't hurt either!

Cheers guys.

Thanks mate. Nice car you have there.

Oh god, I thought (more so hoped) I'd leave the mod bug on the Ford Forums... haha

Don't be scared, the mod-bug is just a rumour! (Just checking to see if I can tell a lie!) :lol:

But the GT will go harder and is easy to mod for good power increases

Ex-Ford man here too. Wasn't on Ford Australia Forums though, on Ford Forums instead. :)

Go the Gen 4 ;) And yep, the 3.0's are nice!

Welcome to the forums!

About time u made it over here Gordon. Lol

This place is a wealth of knowledge.

I say regardless of what u get, just do it and get a kido tune done asap.

I'm still biased toward the gt as u know but Matt from kido can get those 3rb's moving well too.

Let me know if I can help out

Shav!

Was wondering how long it would take for you to pop up!

Yeah, I'm only looking at the moment, which is making me hungrier for one.

Thanks for the tip! I'm sure the minute I get my hands on one I'll be on the dog and bone to you!

Cheers

for sure mate. If you want hand searching for cars too let me know. I love car shopping.

In saying that, keep an eye on some of the cars for sale in the For Sale section of the forum here. There are some amazing examples with mods already tastefully done. Worth traveling interstate if need be.

;-)
