After waiting for so long she's out of paint.
Fair few little things to do such as: - full detail from the guys at work - lowered shockers and springs (let me know what you guys have for sale) - slotted and drilled rotors - paint the calipers silver - exhaust fixed + twin 2.5in straight cut tip - black plastic mesh for the front bar - fog lights (any one done this before) - put the 19in silver agents on - new plates + covers - tint now the goodies

pretty sure 19's will make your car defectable as there over 2 inches of what came out being standard 16" ftr wheels.
sorry to break it to you, its and EL. It will never amount to anything super. Call me a muppett or what ever you beatnicks use these days but I own an EF XR8and no matter how awesome you think it is, its a POS never will be classic.' Might i add ive drank alot of alcohol. if this offends blow me!

Might i add ive drank alot of alcohol. if this offends blow me! I'm getting a EB GT placard made up from one of the guys boostedfalcon. $20 and it says standard 17in. I highly doubt a cop will know unless he is into e series. so what if it's an EL? its MY car let alone MY first car. I brought it and I'm building a clean, good looking car to get me through my p's. When I'm old enough I'll buy myself 335i or a M3 from work. Take you're negative opinion else where. In other words; Don't like me or my car? f**k off. Problem solved.

I've got 19" wheels on my Ghia.
Hopefully I don't get pulled over... If I do, I'll TRY and play innocent. Or get an EL GT placard...

I don't know about other states but in Vic you can legally jump up 2in from standard. the placard off boostedfalcon would be a well spent $20 (thats posted)

I had a look, and the bloke on there said only 10 were available. Oh well.

The fact they are tickford is a bonus , and if they stop making the falcon theyll go up. How many e series xr's do you are see in original and clean condition ? Not many I bet . a lot of people said xw,xy,xa,xb,xc were never going to be worth anything now look at them . Even xd,xe are with creeping up in value . People are asking 10k for a xe ghia 351 . Clean 6cyl xe xd are going for 2500-3000

You see a really clean looking EL XR6 going down the street it'll stand out way more than any FG falcon or SS commo. Maybe it's just yours that is the POS. |

Looks good. I'd say spend $300 and get some tiny on those windows. You'll be surprised how much tint changes the car. Will look sick

Maybe it's just yours that is the POS. I work for BMW and people pay a minimum of $700 for a service let alone $200 for diagnosis, imagine a super car? I've heard around 9 grand for service on a ferarri.. I believe that. An older car that is maintained or modified always catches my eye before a new model does. dude don't even bother with him, what he said wasn't even an opinion of what he thought, it was purely negative attitude and had no admiration for what a 2 day 18 year old on a first year apprentice wage is trying to achieve which is a clean street car without cheap and tacky mods.

It puts that BA next to it to shame
Definitely needs some tint to finish the look off, IMO I think that ride height is perfect. Also +1 vote for cleanest car on Fordmods. Last edited by TyLeR3397 on Fri Mar 29, 2013 2:59 pm, edited 1 time in total. |
