looking good mate.i am rebuilding a el xr in the same colour atm. question for ya,where and how much for the ba buldge bonnet as i am after one myself for my el.and is it good qaulity??cheers mate and keep up with the progress pics

i got mine off a member from here (big AL88) for 220 its pretty good but does need some work mainly prep work for paint
but you can buy them new for around 1000 but if your handy guy you could make one for a fraction of the cost just have to find a bonnet from the wreckers then cut the bugle out and graff it to a gli bonnet

nice progress with the car mate, should come up sweet

new update

well while the ran held off today i had a chance to in stall my new disc brakes and do half a service (oil and filter)

once i get my rims polished its gunna like nice specially once the kit is fixed and fitted
also got a quote to repair my rear ticky kit 450-650 depending on time that not painted or fitted so im going to do it myself

so once that and the rims are oh and the exhaust done itll be time for me to save up for
what i really want a cms head and cam (stage 3) all ready spoken to joe so once i have every thing in order itll be time for some real power up grades:D

another quick update

over the last weekend i got my JMM extractors fitted
the had to drive her to a exhaust shop with only the extractors on to get the rest of my system fitted as it is too long
for my old cat back system to fit
i woke everyone up at 630am on a friday morning
got a new lukey 2.5 inch on for 160 buck pretty happy with that

I believe your rotors are on backwards.

i did think that too but after having a look around a lot of people have there disc facing the same way as mine are now.

dose it really matter which way they face? is there a wrong an right way, will it change the braking
at all???????

they "look" backwards but someone recently posted up a scan from a rotor manufacturer with a pic which way they go, and yours are correct

been a while but a bit of a update

over the last few weeks been busy modding the interior of my xr6
with some new bling

first of with a short shifter from the usa for a great buy of 60 buck (thank you ebay)

then came a seat of black leather ba/bf xr seats for $750 from my wrecker

then a ba/bf console lid with the same xr logo for a happy $160 (again thank you ebay consittering the last one sold for 260)

after that a set of FG xr scuff plate for 60 bucks, yet to be put on

im still waiting for my new second hand momo steering wheel from ebay for $168 bucks
