Bought for $1200.
Judging by the horse crap under the car and the lucerne in the boot she towed Phar Lap by the last owner (female)

It has:
.Pedders springs and shocks (air in the rear)
.Extractors and a 2 1/2 sports exhaust
.Slotted and Drilled fronts
.244k on the clock (engine smoothe, no smoke, well serviced)
.4 speed Auto (perfect changes when at normal operating temp)

So Far:
.Got rid of the 17" mags and put 16" Ford XR6 Sharktooth rims and new rubber
.Full brakes system overhaul
.Steering rack, ball joints and rear nolethane
.That's $1700 on the above work

To Do:
.Bumpers, the previous horse lovin owner seems to have used the front bumper for rounding up!
.Rust in sills and drivers side front guard
.Small weep in sump from a rock strike
.Sort oil leaks and major undercar clean up (see pic from leak and shagged steering rack)

NC Likes:
.Comfort and LWB
.Kickdown from the 4speed auto (she's resposive)
.The V8

NC Dislikes:
.Mainly the cost of restoration (worth it tho when she's rumbling with AC/DC or The Doors playing on the open road)
.Small annoying repairs from wipers to exhaust (it's a huge job and takes many, many Sundays)

Overall Rating:
Pretty happy with the NC Fairlane!
It's a stylish cruiser with a good V8 driveline for Fordmodders who can do without hooning inpounds and Wolloper donations (It will light em up if required tho!)

Looks like a good project base man, and I'm rather surprised to see that rust in the sill!

I have a little bit in the sill on the white Xr8 i need to deal with, nowhere near as much as this, and i have some in the top of the sill due to a piss poor repair on my side skirt by a panel shop who has to remain nameless, to keep the mods happy, but i name & shame them whenever anyone asks me in real life.....

Very nice

Going to lower it a bit more?

Port up a pic of the interior? Got leather?

From the pics, looking at the head rests, they don't look like leather, which is a shame, as a nice luxury car like a lane should have leather. I have full leather in my Eb Ghia, and i have the part leather & velour seats that might end up in my Xr8, they are nice too, but not as nice as the full leather seats.

Ah yeah, on a closer look at that pic is does look more like velour. My DA's had velour though, very comfy, and looks old school posh

Was it you that was caught riding that bike?

Velour is a bit old school posh, sort of like a 70's lane or statesman.
