I think the Chrome Strips give it a touch of class, and work well with the silver wheels. I think colour coding the side strips and leaving the chrome strip in will do the trick.

man this one looks a hell of a lot better than the old one...

either white is an awesome colour or gold is s**t!!!


i reckon White looks absolutely s**t on 90% of cars, and looks brilliant on the rest

And Troyman's car does actually look good in white, and alot better than the gold suprisingly. Well done, its looking the goods !!

over the weekend i managed to put the ef thermo fans on with a neatly modified eb relay block..
ive noticed the ed is so much easier to to do the thermo fan mod compared to the ea..as with the ea i had to swap over to a ef radiator as the ea didnt have the mounting points for the fans where as the ed does.. :)

now im getting ready for the manual conversion..
today i decided to make up my own clutch pedal pin..
i do have a manual pedal box in the ea bot it has already been repaired a few times and i just couldnt be bothered pulling the dash out of the ea and then the ed.lol

so i made something similar to the malwood pin except i used a m16 bolt as the pin with a nut sandwiching it together and a nyloc nut holding the pedal on.
it has 3 plates a thick plate on the inside that is welded to a thinner plate and there is a thinner plate on the outside..the best part is this cost me nothing.. :)
i used a ef auto pedal box to mock it up on..
so it should just be a matter of just removing the auto pedal,fit the pedal pin and put the manual brake pedal in and its as good as done
