I thought that is was about time i maybe put a build thread up because i started to make this a bit of a build now
I got this off Members brother in a rather sick and sorry state . Blown head gasket suspension was stuffed brakes past state of metal to metal From here i decided id put a head n it and that would be done . THis is how the car looked when i first got it . the bar was starting to peal and had been crashed in the front I started by putting a airbox that i had developed with miss aly and bri bri for e series . Then i put my roh 18s of the xf on it to get it going to replace the stockies . And put a stock stereo from my work at time Other than that all i added was some venetians sides and back I decided to take it out for a skid pan day and have a bit of fun . After about two years i had so many issues with the old original motor that i decided that i would put the Full xr6 running gear in the car At the same time i found a el xr6 front bar so decided to put it on . wrong paint colour and all We then had Lowered 3 inch block in rear taken out and springs reset And was thinking this I then started to build the stereo up in this New carpet Sound deaden the roof Boot all finished and doors all done We then decided to put a new diff after the old one had issues 327 gears up from the 3.08 We then took it to the drags. Think it ran a 16 on standard xr running gear Inbetween time Pete from Phat Gaurd rolling did the gaurds for me so i could fit some new 20s on it XHp starcorps It then become manual and was ready for sandown Boot up at Sandown because i was told to Straight after this my engine decided to have timing case noise so i pulled the motor Straight after that was cruise for charity It was on display with new engine We didn’t finish it in time so the next few weekends were busy Jamie putting on flywheel on the flywheel and clutch empty engine bay ready the motor before going in in the build in the garage the cooler The boys helping out at mine . Big thanks to Jamie Cameron , John(effalcon) , Erik(slosix) , Pat (disknt) , Wayne (ltdho) , Paul (mrcve) and couple my other mates not on here joined it too Craig (mr calais ) It then went to go get the cooler and exhaust done by barney and ted at Fast fit in Cranbourne Awesome guys and work . I then decided to go to springnats have some fun Few things to fix but they are minor . Loved all the fun i had THen the following week i got it all tuned by MR CVE Paul from CVe perfomance Nice tune on the weekend 220 @ 5.5 psi . J3 chip by Ti performance thanks to JAson Was a whole new car and im loving it I then its just been slow over summer as i enjoy it Took it to all ford day with some fun rims . Had to trailer as i snapped a axle We then have since had bonnet done Thoughts on a new plate for it Now and getting ready for the weekend After this we are now going to re do the stereo . More stereo subs amps and speakers Brand new seats from and back are going to be done . And some more carpets 2 Battery will be going into the car Motor to come out and have all wiring hidden .

Been away for a few weeks to family death and that so thought id give a little update .
I managed to blow up my radiator few weeks back and had thinking about upgrading . I was lucky that someone had built one and never used it and was able to swap some parts for it . I also have got a overflow purchase for it Which ill put pics up later this week . Also over last 5-6 months we have been developing a new gauge pod for efel nf nl and this is how it looks at the moment Made out of similar mould to the airboxs i do
