Ford ZF Fairlane 39 Restoration

[@mikef.1000]

Great work Jason, that car is looking MINT. You say you're not a mechanic... but don't be too hard on yourself, you're a whole lot more competent and careful than a lot of the guys out there!

[@BoyAnachronism01]

Yeah it’s interesting aye… because this stuff doesn’t come naturally I need to research things and get my head around them before I start. It takes me 10 times longer than it would a pro and I can edit out all of my mistakes and dithering lol … but the result is always good. Thanks for your feedback mate, really appreciate it and glad you are on the journey with me

I'm learning so much from watching this. I bought a full steering kit from rare spares so this is helpful to watch.

[@BoyAnachronism01]

Mate thanks … I learn from you too

[@phillipm1039]

Omg she's looking spectacular and your attention to detail during the assembly is amazing to watch, and with Peter doing the engine it will be a strong runner.

[@BoyAnachronism01]

Watch how meticulous Peter is with the engine in ZF 40 mate… it’s up now

[@rescuedandrestoredgarage]

Those rockers look incredible. And it was awesome to see the front suspension going on because I have to do the same thing to the 71 Mustang, and it looks like the same setup. Love how you just take care of a problem and think it through.

[@BoyAnachronism01]

Lots of fun doing the suspension aye… that pitman arm bush was a win… I sculpted it out of the rear leaf spring bush that I recently replaced. Glad your enjoying the journey

[@TheMrShinagami]

Nice save with sanding the master cylinder, I'd never have thought of that. Also great to see her her off the rotisserie, I bet it really feels good to get her off of it.

[@BoyAnachronism01]

Oh yeah mate, now I don’t need to stress about all of that weight being suspended. The car was getting more and more heavy with every additional part going on. Now it’s game on!

[@markbehr88]

Coming along really well. 👍

[@phillipleeds296]

Won’t be long now and you’ll be driving it. Great to see so much progress.

[@BoyAnachronism01]

Enjoying it so much these days mate

[@George-dl7gv]

Oh wow. Some Aussie automotive history coming together beautifully. Enjoying very much.

[@BoyAnachronism01]

Exactly

[@chriskyriazis4163]

Thanks Jase!! Coming along well nice work

[@ellesmerewildwood4858]

Damn she looks good ! What are you going to do with yourself when she's finished ? Awwwwe, and I just noticed puppy dog's getting big.

[@BoyAnachronism01]

He’s a gorgeous little do, such a polite little creature… hey mate as soon as the ZF is rosdworthy and registered she’s out of that shed and into storage… then it’s time for the XA coupe series to start. Pete is going to rebuild the coupes engine in a couple of months from now

[@WesW3187]

The wheels look great Jason. I had issue’s recently when I had to bleed the brakes on my VT. Well I had to replace the fluid completely because it was old and porous - and I only have girls, so I used a kit from Supercheap with a non-return valve. The hose kept slipping off. Those spanners like what you bought were useless and tried to round of the bolt heads. Anyway, I got it done. You’re making great progress. The car is going to be a beauty 🙂.

[@BoyAnachronism01]

Great to hear from you mate, glad you got your brakes sorted too.

[@mikeandandreajohnstone3093]

Looking good Jas.Not sure about the Master cylinder “Fix”.The seal around the shaft of the master cylinder,to the brake booster is to prevent Vacuum leakage. If the main shaft of the master is still leaking( which it should not),it will eventually leak back into your booster causing corrosion and failure.

[@BoyAnachronism01]

Thanks for the heads up Mike… I’ll keep an eye on that

[@GODEES77]

Good to see it off the spit

[@petergoodwin2465]

This is not a restoration, its a work of art. Cant remember washers on the lower ball joints. Did hundreds but its 30 years ago. I dont trust the master cylinder leaking. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't ruin the booster mate. They dont make anything properly these days, the skill level and attention to detail is incredible. What a car .

[@BoyAnachronism01]

Thanks for the advice mate… it’s feedback like yours that helps send this car to the next level

[@petergoodwin2465]

It's you that sent it to the next level mate, the bodywork is the hardest and most people give up. Cant blame them either, that's a decent job you did . The cars better built than Ford would ever imagine. Every time I see it I say F__ck . Ha,ha, I feel good when I I make nice parts , just finished building the whole upper cowl on the wifes impala. Makes me want to build a Zd fairlane. Dam things they make us young again.

[@carlf8291]

You can see the end is near your car is looking fantastic.

[@BoyAnachronism01]

[@sandocheese45]

Great work Jason. She coming along well. Great video as always mate 👍

[@BoyAnachronism01]

It’s so enjoyable mate… one thing I’ve noticed since the panel and paint has finished… content on my camera accumulates so much more quickly

[@Roo0ooD]

thanks for the video

[@BoyAnachronism01]

Pleasure mate

[@daleyurk4369]

She's a roller!!! Big step. So is Pete doing the engine for you? Hope he makes a vid of it. By the way, maybe time to invest in some of those gear wrenches? Great work Jason!

[@BoyAnachronism01]

Oh hey mate yes pete is doing 2-3 vids of the engine build… he dropped off the SD card with the first installment yesterday. I’ll post it tonight keep an eye out for ZF 40
