I'll give you a bit of a run down on what I've been up to over the past year and a half.
Well since the old days my car has been through quite a lot. I pulled out the entire interior and picked up a absolute mint dash, plastics and roof lining for $50! I then scored some EL Ghia door trims and chrome handles off Phat EL. But to put these on I had to install electric windows and a EB Fairmont console. I then bought some ED Ghia full leather seats off ebay and added a set of EL grey seat belts to match the seats. I then installed an EF parcel shelf with a custom made vinyl trimmed board on top. I reduced the interior paint to only the dash and console facia's in a nice 2 pack gloss black. Over a few weeks I built myself a decent, tidy boot install with twin 12" subs and hidden amps. The hi-light is the cut out XR6 logo in the floor. Some carpeted kick panels and a 2" Air/Fuel ratio gauge on the A pillar bring the interior to where it is today.
I finally stopped being a hi-rider and slammed the front over the tires to a very nice ride height! The only other exterior differences include the ED XR front, 15% window tint, painted 2 pack gloss black around all the winows (pillars, scuttle, wipers etc), DEVLXR plates and EL door handles.
The engine bay has had a fair bit of work done to it too with it being resprayed (while leaving the motor in made it quite difficult but we got there in the end!) and mainly just lots of tidying up of wires etc and a few things painting 2 pack gloss black.
The motor is starting to get tired and a little noisy so I'm either aiming towards an AU motor and later get the Tickford head re-worked, or just rebuild my current motor. Not sure which way to go yet, money is still an issue being an apprentice and trying to save for a house!
Heres some photos from recent times including AFD '09.









I have to say it was good to talk to you again John at AFD, the amount of boosted cars on display was impressive and I must say I wasn't expecting Beth's car to be boosted! That was a shock!
