got my el fairmont ghia about 5 weeks ago and i love it. its completely stock with a few options, full leather and an after market lpg. i do have a few plans for it like, getting lowered a little and and i want to improve the performance but not through a super or turbo and thinking of getting it converted to a manual (will a transmition from an el xr6 work?).
anyway here it is

Welcome!

Image didn't work mate.

You'd be better off getting a V8 5 speed, the bell housing and input shaft are different on the I6 T5s. Shorter diff gears, a stally, & a shift kit would liven up your auto a fair bit :D

Is it a V8? Can't see it mentioned anywhere.

Commando and Stevo for ban. Throw in LUXO_8 for the trifecta of 5L bans.

Well, XR6 trans will suit it fine then :D

Classy = remove spoiler if it has one, dump it, and don't go too flashy on the rims ;) Avoid neonz and other sick accessories. Winner.
