On the inaugural episode of Mighty Car Mods, the team reminisces about their humble beginnings with a Ryobi drill, now backed by the very same brand as official sponsors. With Ryobi's support, they embark on a mission to acquire the cheapest manual Ford Falcon V8 in Australia, setting the stage for some epic skids. After a search, they stumble upon a bargain in New South Wales for a mere $12,000, significantly lower than other listings. Despite initial skepticism due to the price difference, they take the plunge and purchase the Falcon.
Upon closer inspection, the team discovers signs of wear and neglect, including sun damage, oily residue, and a rather unpleasant odor permeating the interior. Undeterred, they enlist the help of a seasoned mechanic to assess the Falcon's potential for modifications and performance upgrades. The mechanic sheds light on the car's origins, highlighting its lineage from a Mustang and discussing the feasibility of enhancing its power output through aftermarket components. With discussions ranging from cold air intakes to tuning options like Haltech systems, the team begins to envision the possibilities for their newfound acquisition.
As they delve deeper into the Falcon's mechanical intricacies, they uncover a few issues such as an oil leak and worn-out diff bushes, typical for a car of its age. Despite these minor setbacks, the mechanic assures them that they've struck gold with this purchase, emphasizing the potential for a thrilling transformation. With plans to address the leaks and give the Falcon the royal treatment it deserves, the team eagerly anticipates the journey ahead, brimming with excitement and a hint of apprehension at the challenges that lie in wait.
