Yes for sure, if I was given the opportunity to fix and restore any car of my choice, it would've been my dads old 1997 Mitsubishi Super Lancer (model was sold only in my country and was based on the same platform as the Lancer Evo 3) that he sold back in 2015. I grew up in that car and I would just love to have the car back and take it to school on the daily with a Spotify Car Thing installed and connected to the AUX and have it be my own little project to take to school and just keep stock. my dad told me that he sold the car because the 4G92 engine it has was starting to die of age and a new motor would've cost him the same as the entire car, so he sold it for a used 2010 Lancer. He isn't regretting selling the car but it hurts for him to see me so sad that I won't be able to drive the same car, according to a country document the car was taken off the road at the end of 2016 and was presumably crushed. Times are changing, but I also love the current Lancer he has.

You’ve done well. The AU OHC isn’t as powerful or as reliable as the Barra, but it’s still a great motor and benefits from some 40 odd years of refinement. It’s actually an attractive car, it looks very nice in the white, and the interior is also pretty nice looking. I’ve just bought a BA ute as my new daily and even with a whopping 550k on the dial, it’s still a reliable car. One part I missed was the coolant you used, I can tell you from 30yrs experience in spare parts, and as a Ford enthusiast, correct coolant is absolutely critical. As you’re probably aware, they do have a bit of a problem blowing head gaskets and head corrosion, I would suggest using one of the cleaners but to follow the directions because you can cause gaskets to start leaking if it’s left in too long, and then after that, I’d put in some high quality coolant, like Nulon, and be sure to use the correct one specified, from memory it’s the green one. You probably also should do a brake system flush and replace with new fluids as it will break down over time, and again, replace with specified fluid (many people think that if the car recommends dot 3, using dot 4 is an upgrade and the new version of dot 3, however dot 4 causes rubbers to swell and leak if the car uses dot 3). Oh and also, it’s a Falcon S. S Pac finished in the X series, EA onwards they were designated just Falcon S and typically came with colour coded trim and in the E series, a red stripe. The AU appears to have the alloy wheels from the SR, and colour coded grille. Tasty car, and great job reviving a cool car.

@@Alabaster335 They’re a fine motor, but are more susceptible to blown head gaskets and warping heads then the Barra. Taxi drivers usually service their cars and look after them, where as general public often don’t use the correct coolants, or any coolant at all, and that soon leads to head corrosion and blown head gaskets. I have worked in spares for 30yrs, and in that time, I sold many VRS kits for the SOHC 3.9/4.0L Ford motor, many inlet gaskets for Barras, my Territory has had an inlet gasket replaced at 120k, but I’ve only sold 3 Barra head gaskets for race cars being rebuilt.

Always good to see the mighty AU Falcon about. The bootlid rusting like it did, that is a problem with AU's so you'd be bound to see a few like that, ones with the spoilers get like that. And one reason i've heard as to why the AU copped the criticism it did, is with the base model Series I Forte, you have a look at the standard grilles on them, and you'd see why it was disliked & a thing that was done, is some people replaced that grille with the egg-crate type one found on the AU Utes as well. Just a story i heard about, but yes was certainly a different design, i've never thought it was ugly, is a good-looking one & certainly has gained a nice following in recent years. Got a decent few AU's around where i live, members of my family have owned some as well, one being a Series I or II XR8 Ute, that things got up & went pretty good. Was a cheapo one you got here, with a bit over 260,00 on the clock (around the same distance my 2007 VE SSV Ute has traveled too), but is till a good one you got there.

Never had thought the AU looked bad or anything either, was always a nice looking one. And along with that blue plus the havoc kit, does make for a pretty nice looking AU as well.

Drove an AU wagon for 6 years and it never missed a beat, ugly, but spacious and reliable - though i never had to clean out the cooling system! Great work on sorting it out, i'm sure it will last plenty more kms.

I've often wondered what car videos would be like if they were done in Nathan Sivewright's style. I love this!

Gotta love these older Fords, bought a 1994 Probe in June & it ran just as badly as the Falcon Misfires, severe loss of power & not willing to increase engine speed above 2500rpm Faul spark plugs, plug wires & a completely chewed up distributor rotor were the main culprits! Something to keep in mind is that the 2.0l 16v Mazda engines in these also need their idle & air/fuel mixture set right. Take it to the old Mazda garage close to you & ask if they can adjust it, they should have a special tool to do so. Ever since it runs like a dream! Completely rust free, bonestock baselevel car in bright red and we love it :)

This was amazing Being able to see you use eucalyptus oil to clean the car is what I never knew I needed

AU was one of my favorite cars I’ve owned. I bought mine second hand years ago for $5k. Rust everywhere, but drove like a couch and you couldn’t kill it. Never cared about leaving it in carparks etc. Eventually traded it in but still think about it.
