BRENTON WALKER
XD FAIRMONT
“MY 1981 XD was bought from a property near Bendigo, and I’ve owned it for almost five years. I had all the undercarriage stripped out and sandblasted, painted and re-bushed about a year after buying it; then it sat in the shed for another year in the ‘too-hard’ box. It finally got panel and paint in December 2021, and club rego in September last year. It runs a 550hp, Pavtek-built 393 Clevo with CHI heads, paired to a manualised C10 with a 4000rpm converter. The rear end is a shortened nine-inch with Truetrac and 3.7 gears by Aikman Engineering, and it rolls on 17x4.5 and 15x8.5 Street Pro wheels. Brent Boyle sprayed it in.”
