Re: 63 Ford Falcon Sprint rally replica

Thanks guys, although Roger my efforts are well behind those of Paul's. I had a Limited Slip Diff fitted last week at Hauser Racing in Northamptonshire. I went for a True-Trac unit. When they opened up the old diff it was absolutely filthy, caked in 56 years of sludgy oil residue. It looked fine ...

Re: 63 Ford Falcon Sprint rally replica

Over the last few months I've fitted a set of "Tour de France" style air horns, like the one's you hear on the cycling team cars.

63 Ford Falcon Sprint rally replica

Spurred on by Paul B's amazing work on his 64 Falcon I thought I would post some details of the 63 Falcon Sprint I'm currently using and upgrading between events, here in the UK. The car is a genuine 4 speed manual 63 Sprint that has spent most of it's life in Austin County Texas, so it had the ...

Leadfoot - Lou from "Old" South Wales.
