BEHIND THE WHEEL
This month our intrepid ‘driver’ Noel St John-Wood is driving Steve Budden’s Custom XT Falcon GT

Steve Budden has built quite a few special cars over the years but his latest build has to be the best example of his masterful individual style. Steve purchased the body from Tasmania and a complete restoration was done with many personalised custom features that make this car a drawcard wherever it goes.
Only recently finished Steve has already received many awards including a Peoples Choice Award at our own Charity Car Show in October.
The car drives extremely well with the suspension handling most situations comfortably considering the car is lowered. Engine performance is nice with the pedal down and that iconic sound of downdraft Webers making this driving experience a whole lot of fun.
Read Steve’s story about this beautiful Falcon XT GT in his own words on the next page...
Cheers Noel SJW
