Hey Guys,
This is my 1997 NL Ford Fairlane, my first car, I got her off my mum about a year ago. At first when I was on my Ls at school I wanted a vs commodore but then I started to learn in the lane and fell in love and had to convince mum to get a new car so i could keep the lane. This is her when I first got my Ps.   She was a boat. First mod was the the 2.5' redback exhaust system to give it a nice note, with twin chrome tip. Then i put a new headunit in it, and some 6x9s on the parcel shelf which kept me happy for awhile. Then I decided to buy some superlow king springs to bring her back Down to earth and make her look alot nicer.   Lowered. Superlows all round. Last weekend, she got a major service changed all the oil, and all the filters runs alot nicer now, but that didn't take aslong as we thought it would so we decided to wash my engine bay and and paint most of the plastics came up a treat...   Eventually I will get some new wheels. And I don't know what else... Anyone have suggestions... But anyway that's my lane  Cheers Jesse.

New rims would be lovely I'm gonna start saving. It's so hard to save on apprentice wages.

She's done 260000 so a fair bit.
And a polish is a good idea.

How would you polish it? is it powdercoated? i havent seen an EL/EF engine up close too much to take notice.. |
