@@nznomad19 shows u what a dry climate can do to preserve the metal. Minimum rust. I had a mate in Mangere Bridge who had a rust free Xa ute in the late nineties that got parked up outside under a tarp for a year and a half when he moved to Perth. 18 months later he came back to see his folks and when he removed the tarp, the ute had broken in two like a sagging vee just behind the back window. Pity as that ute had some legs. At 160 it was just breaking a sweat at 2500 rpm. We put 2.77 gears and his dad had already a 5 speed celica conversion in it. Great driving car. Used to surprise a few peeps with its long legs. Ute got scrapped.
I reckon the XA Falcon is the best looking, well-designed Ute there is. Add to that a well-balanced 302 V8. No matter the rust, you’ve got a winner!
Dead right. This vehicle drives sweet and has original motor. Just needs some love
wholy moley! how many of these beasts are over there?
Appreciate the xa. Was video shot in sa or nz
Video is at my placenin NZ. I have now changed the mufflers and removed the ugly 30kg towbar
