Well here's what she sits like now, sorry about poor picture but was avoiding going out in the rain, Mick it's def a lot flatter on the road, and a little firmer ride-wise too!

Yeah well the main difference apart from the rear bar was the rear height and the shocks, as it already had pedders coils low on the front but std on front so the red ryder shocks would've firmed it up but the 24mm rear bar has really flattened it out, it sorta just sits there, it's funny cause I almost didn't bother with the bar as I felt it was pretty good but it's now much better if I hadn't got the bar for $50 I would've been missing out!

Looks like I can't help myself. The NF has been gone for a few months, I missed it and ended up with this somehow. :lol:

Its an NL Concorde, one of the first run. Boring and stock aside from the SLs that are slowly killing the factory shocks. :(

I'll make a thread when I start doing stuff to it.

Good score mate, looks to be in pretty good condition. Did the concordes come standard with the leather'n'wood steering wheel? If not, is a nice bonus :D

Yeah they had the EL GT wheel, Howe leather upholstery, XR6 motor, diff and suspension, the 16s, some gold badging and terrible pinstripes and decals. No premium audio though :(

I'm welcoming any suggestions or ideas. I'd like to take a different path with this than the last one. I'd like to make it stand out visually.

Thanks mate. To be honest it looked like s**t when I got it, I just saw the potential. Spent a few days cleaning it inside and out. Still have some more to go.
