Hi guys and girls,
I'm fairly new here so most of you probably won't know me.
For those of you that don't know me (most of you ) , my name is Josh and I'm 15, turning 16 sometime in March.
I've recently bought this 1993 ED XR6 for my first car, which was a decent pickup at only $1900. It has done 230,000km, and is Polynesian green.
This is how she looked when I got her,










Since then I have put in fairmont carpet,






Had the centre console re-trimmed,




Put a new hood lining in,



Took these wheels off,



And put the CSA optional ED XR6 wheels on,

(Please excuse the missing wheel nut, I was one short :cray:)



Then I bought some Tickford valve caps off eBay, and put them on,



Then put a new Redback exhaust in since the other one was stuffed,





The previous owner had a MASSIVE exhaust tip on it, which melted to the bumper,



My dad fixed that problem,



Then we put on a 2.5" twin angle-cut rolled exhaust tip on, (what a tongue twister!)






Then drained the oil and put clean oil in,



Then put new nolathane bushes in,



Put new rear brake discs & brake pads in, but only had to put new pads in the front because the discs were still good,



This is how she looked after a quick wash,





This is how she looks under the bonnet,




Some things that need to be done are, re-paint the bootlid and spolier & re-paint the front and rear bumpers.







Sorry guys, but this one won't be boosted.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy it and thanks for looking + all your comments!

A bit of an update...

My pa painted the boot lid (excuse the dust),





and the boot lid spoiler,



here are a few pictures of them both,





Also, the front bumper moulds got a coat of grey paint,




He also painted the hole in the bumper where the exhaust comes out of,



We changed one of the number plate globes (due to it being blown),



Dad got me some carpet mats (YAY ),



Also, I got some HPF (Horse Power Factory) stickers and trialed how they would look,





I know my car hasn't and most likely won't be tuned by HPF, but I should still be allowed to dream about it hehe :good:

And I am also going to buy a pair of "E-series owners club" stickers to put above the HPF stickers.

Thanks!

looks good mate

Dam mate, That is a nice XR...
You have done some TOP work, keep it going

Nice good to see a few Poly green ED XR's getting around

Yeah thanks,
I joined up at Ford Mods a while ago, but never really posted much.
Then I joined up at E-Series owners club and now I am on both.

Nice first car mate - and +1 for the poly green
Good luck with it all bud hope it goes well . . .

Thanks!

Bloody brilliant matey. A member here named CamFord also has a Polynesian Green ED Fairmont and I must say,they sure look good in that livery.

Keep up the good work matey

Thanks, and I will keep up the good work

Hopefully my car be good to go soon this month, so I might attend some Ford Mods events.

holy faded grey inserts and the front and rear bars batman.

just a tip go to autobarns and buy some AutoGlym Bumper care and use that. you'll have to do it a few times so it soaks in but it'll come up good as new

Great start bringing the old girl up to speed, handy to have a painter in the family though! i liked the 1st set of mags it had too. keep up the good work.

Yeah, I've gotten the front bumper painted, but I think the rear bumper will be ok, otherwise I will get it painted.


Yeah, the first set of mags were ok, but they had really noisy tires on them. And I found the ED XR 16" options at a swap meet with new tires for only $250!
Thanks!
