f**k thats a good idea man, way to get more air in there. I think i will steel your idea!

Mwahahahaha.

HAHAHA! You're welcome to it mate! Seems that after all the trial and error of previous attempts, I may have finally found the solution. I'm gunna have a closer look underneath where the conduit sit's above the lower bar air scoop to see if I can rig up a direct connection, but other than that, i'll just run around in it for a while and then do it properly.

Update on the sunroof issues. I was having a look at it this arvo, and was preparing to take out the glass, when I tried it again and the bloody thing started working. :twisted: Now i'm happy it's working, but annoyed at the same time as I don't know what was causing it to trip.
The weekend didn't end too badly though! Wincup had a clean sweep at Bahrain, and I bought another boxcar! :shock:
Wasn't planning on buying another car atm, but I went for a spin this arvo to have a look at a Blue EB the missus spotted for sale down the road. Turned out to be Jastel's monty ghia, so I knew where he lived and shot around for a little chat.....and you know how the rest goes :P
Here's the latest edition to my boxcar stable!!!

good pickup. shame about the paint and other small issues. i bet the first thing you do to the new boxcar is check for the rust....

this week seems to be the week for buying unexpected boxcars. first benj with the EB wagon, then me with a EB Sedan, then you with the ED... all unexpected lol.

Finally! The NC LTD has arrived :D
Spent this arvo doin the rear of the car. Came up OK. The DC garnish has a little bit of damage, but I can live with that for now until I can get my hands on a better one.
As expected, here are a few pics :P
The old Lane Garnish
Image
the 2 together
Image
The "LaneTD" bareback and confused :?
Image
I fitted it all up and then decided the number plate surround needed a lick of paint, but I was too lazy to pull it all out again :lol:
Image
Image
And the finished product.....came up pretty good I think
Image

Now, sitting just outside, the 2 boxies were sitting there all jealous that they weren't getting any attention..........keep posted! I have plans for these two :lol:
Image
Cheers,
Mick

Looks very nice there Mick. I was having a good look at my mates white LTD the other day and they look much nicer in your colour. Also he wants to ditch his electric leather seats and replace them with ef/l ones...... some people.....

Thanks Tezza!
Can't believe it's been 12 months already since I purchased the old grandpa spec Lane and transformed it to what it is today.
Time flies when you're having fun..... :D

Hey Jason,
Is it he just doesn't like leather? I have a mint set of NCII Ghia Velour Seats here. I may consider swapping him if the leather is in as good nick as the velour. Let him know and we will negotiate from there. :D
Cheers,
Mick
