not doing the whole car just tidying it up and giving the rest a cut and polish to make it tidy.


Glad to read that man. I'd honestly love my Eb Ghia to be tidier, but it's pretty tidy, and there are other projects to work on. ;-)

E series FTW!

i had the xf running before to move it onto the front lawn now the front bars not on there i noticed the radiator is constantly trickling coolant :roll: it most likely happend in the accident and i just never noticed it.

Image

the list keeps growing with this car things that need to be done to date.

1. get another carbie this one is rooted stuffed throttle pump it used $75 in under 200k's all highway, ill have to get a second hand one i was qouted $300-$400 for a new webber :shock:

2. new exhaust

3. need a new tyre on the front

4. radiator replaced or repaired

may not sound like alot but its money you dont want to be throwing at a $1,000 car then the money and time fixing this is longer untill the XR6 is driveable....bloody cars :P

The Ed came up nice. Can't wait to see it after the buff. Why do you have ea mirrors on it though? Eb/d ones look so much better and are much better quality.

As fOr the xt I think you should colour code the top and bottom edge of the rear bar and top edge of the frOnt one just like they came put stock On the 87 ghias! That's my taste but man u have done a lot Of wOrk on both cars good on u!

cheers mate the xf is inca yellow.

it cost abit i had to redo a few bits and the blue took abit to get nice even coverage, i would say it would be getting around the $900+ mark thats for everything also keeping in mind i had to purchase another gun aswell as compressor hire.

make sure you chuck a thread up on your progress.
