Ride: 1997 NL Ford Fairlane

Location: Carrum Downs
VIC, Australia

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.
Image
Image
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.
Image
Image
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...
Image
Image

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.

remove rocker cover (4 bolts) then use paint stripper to remove old stuff, then use sandpaper starting with 240 grit and work your way to 1200grit, then rub over with autosol
