I know EL's have 3.23 as standard, that's what I have in mine. Not too sure what the std ED one is though.

a no pic update..
tomorrow i pick up the following bodykit (XR style maybe? - from butchers sedan) i know your thinking i have a wagon.. but the side skirts are a 2 piece which will be made into a single piece kit, the rear bar i have been told needs to be extended about 1 inch on either side to fit.. but its not designed for a haymen reece towbar so ill be swapping it over with a factory style towbar when i fit the kit. front rotors, second hand but they will do for now as mine are warped to hell and these apparently are good.. im just sick of head knocking everytime i go to stop... AU console to fit into the wagon so i can have cup holders (got this free for removing a motor and box for a mate) i also score a NC indicator, T5 shifter handles, surge tank (i think there might be 2) but these arnt for the wagon lol these go to the fairlane, well the T5 handle will go in the wagon as the one i have has been cut. then next weel i pick up a AU TS50 kit that i will repair and throw onto my dads AU as i owe him since i sold his wheels... dont lie you would do the same for a set of FTR's.. lol he is ok with it tho ill throw up some pics tomorrow of all the gear |

VRS kit FINALLY arrived after 3 bloody weeks.. it was cheap but its not worth waiting over 3 weeks for delivery. ebay auction ended on the 5th jan, i received the slip yesterday
tyres have been put on hold for another 2 weeks due to the tyres shop having 2 225 50 R16's in stock 2nd hand then i get there to find out the inside all eaten out so no point putting them on. so now the fun starts, need to find some front lows/superlows, then i can drop it on its a**, but in the meantime ill start rebuilding the 4.0 for the wagon. wont be long now |

GT BAR b**ch!!!!!
  i think i have worked out a way to mount it using the factory brackets. so ill work on it tonight/tomorrow and see what happens.   apparently with the way the end of the reo folds down, it allows the sides of the factory one to overlap, but i think ill add some 20x20 bars and screw the 2 together then possibly fiberglass over the top |

to make it fit was quite easy, butchers reo wouldnt fit into the reo made on the bar, so when i tried mine and it fit straight in i was cheering. i found 2 little nuts (no not mine) i loaded it up with some washes and put them on, then where the other mounts are on the factory bar i put some screws with washers on there to be sure, then added screws upwards into the guards to hold the sides in place. its not sitting PERFECT but ill fit it up when it comes off for paint. its only a few mm to one side.
i definitely need the FTR's on there ASAP!!!. might do them next week. drops right into place  before the sides were done   and you can see the gap on one side of the headlight here.  now that its on i have a new list of mods that need doing ASAP clear indicators, colour coded side moulds, FTR's!!!!!!!!!!!!! but its coming along |
