I think most wreckers would be crushing the cars (EA etc) with dash still inside these days so you should be able to get one cheap (free?)

by **pHaT`eL** » December 31st, 2008, 11:35 am

No way!! Keep the blue, lol!! Go find some DA LTD blue velour seats to match

/sarcasm

lookin forward to seein it finished..

by **ELXR_96** » January 1st, 2009, 6:58 pm

Shiz man you are my idol i
I'm only 19 and my first car was an EA s'pac and god it took the hiding of a lifetime i've been looking around everywhere for a 5 speed again but can't find a decent one. This looks sick as though everyone rips me for wanting another one but after seeing this i might even sell me xr to spend it on one lol

by **theboss290** » January 2nd, 2009, 8:12 am

Nar mate i wouldn't do that EF/EL XR's are sik!! I got this as a low budget project just to see what can be done for as little money as possible most is just spit and polish to date she has set me back $350 including the cost of buying the car.

I'd have to say I'm a bit lucky as the paint is too good and work'd out that it has had a respray some time ago also the suspension seems to have been done properly with kings springs and the front has been shimmed to get rid of the camber. the pacemakers and sports exhaust were a bonus too!! I did'nt even know it had a 4.0 in her until i degreased the motor LOL, so she has had some money spent on her in the past too bad they didnt spend any in the interior :roll:

some RECARO's would of been nice LMAO :lol:

by **theboss290** » January 2nd, 2009, 8:17 am

I could part her out and get more money than what ive spent on her lol and then some lol

by **ELXR_96** » January 2nd, 2009, 4:00 pm

lol yeah roadworthy it and you'd get a shitload more it'll look good when it's done. I just have a thing for them but i'll bite my ass cause i know there not worth it in the long or short run haha good luck with it. Put some more pics up when you get it together

by **theboss290** » January 2nd, 2009, 9:58 pm

Will do

by **theboss290** » January 7th, 2009, 8:15 am

Well should be getting more work done over the next couple of days/week lol monty insides and front bar!!

Rego and battery and she will be back on the road

a couple of small things then the first stage of the project will be done

by **Dumpsta** » January 7th, 2009, 1:54 pm

Just noticed the ski-boat in the background of the 3rd picture..

That yours? The 2 toys I want in life: Boosted falcon and a skiboat

by **theboss290** » January 7th, 2009, 6:35 pm

why this one??

Yes it is

Just sold it today actually for cash and this as part traid

So you can guess what the next project is LOL :roll:

by **Dumpsta** » January 8th, 2009, 5:21 pm

Not bad! Only thing I can spot wrong with that boat is I love em with black windscreens. What were your reasons for selling it? And was it a 350?

by **theboss290** » January 9th, 2009, 1:00 am

Its a SALEM 350 Chev

Yeh well life fuks you over some times and it had to go (needed the cash) :evil:

I will get another one some day :twisted:

by **theboss290** » January 9th, 2009, 7:35 am

noticed your from Yeppoon

Nice spot that, I was there not long ago. noticed some nice Fords rolling around Rocky. Stoped off there for a couple of days on my way to McKay.

by **Dumpsta** » January 9th, 2009, 3:07 pm

Sounds like a sweet boat mate, yeah I grew up skiing so just seems logical that I'd like to own one, sold our old ski boat when we moved to Yeppoon. Yup its a nice spot, really getting somewhere now, nearly got everything that Rocky has in a sense but no where to ski.. except the Fitzroy River which apparently has '64' saltwater crocs above and downstream of the barrage (the ski gardens are above). Not sure how they know that but anyhow doesnt stop the locals and probably wont stop me.

by **theboss290** » January 10th, 2009, 8:58 am

Yeh the noise from the boats probably keeps them away any way. but still I would be a little worried if I came off and just sitting there in the water. Like I said really nice country from there all the way up to cairns!! only problem is them dam crocks lol, was looking at buying a place in Emu Park not far from yeppoon.

by **Dumpsta** » January 10th, 2009, 10:30 am

Yeah, Emu parks really going ahead as well, seems a lot of people had the same idea, the land is slightly cheaper then Yeppoon I think. Crazy little town, the main part is beautiful but all the streets elsewhere are crap, very wierd.

by **ELXR_96** » January 12th, 2009, 11:35 pm

SO how is this EA coming along? I've been waiting out to see what happens to it

by **theboss290** » January 13th, 2009, 12:47 am

Yeah sorry not much at the moment

have been working on this the RedBack

a bit of a before and after detailed on the right and as i got her to the left

but will get back to the EA next week

The EA will be getting a full monty interior

by **theboss290** » January 13th, 2009, 7:41 am

Probably this week or next i will be picking up

Monty interior every thing apart from the dash $50

full MPI set up from air box, fuel rail, injectors etc etc $60

and a boot lip spoiler $20

after these purchases the cost of project will be $480

a couple more bits like alternator and front shocks then mechanically she will be done!!

by **psychotic-angel** » January 14th, 2009, 8:35 pm

dumped it much? i saw the eb on ebay or carsales cant rember i fell in love with the rear.how did you get it so smooth? and the tail lights?

by **theboss290** » January 16th, 2009, 10:17 pm

lol cheers yeah she was a unique looking EB. much missed

answer to your question is bog and sandpaper with a bit of elbow grease

EA will be getting some work done to her next week now that i got the ute running properly

another alternator is going in as the one in her is stuffed, I also picked up a EF/EL thermo's for $60 just waiting a bit to put that in, may be for the next stage of the project.(stage two will be EF motor, turbo, serp belt, thermos )

interior , boot lip , rear garnish and front bar should be done hopefully by next week end

by **theboss290** » January 16th, 2009, 10:18 pm

aim is to make a EA sleeper

I want to get the GT off the road so I can do some work to her in readiness of AFD and the GT nationals

aim for the GT is some thing along these lines

Dont know if I will have it ready in time but here is hoping :roll:

by **theboss290** » January 21st, 2009, 7:18 pm

well the ute is finally finished and for sale refer to the for sale threads

by **theboss290** » February 15th, 2009, 12:20 am

Well hope fully with the help of en4sa and booma the ea should have a new interior in the next coming weeks, also grabing some stuff off of eamonty to get the MPI conversion done and a boot lip

Then getting some go fast bits with some help from ybyavl

by **Booma** » February 15th, 2009, 7:58 pm

Hopefully the trims you are wanting from my ED aren't in the smashed section :shock:

by **ELXR_96** » February 15th, 2009, 8:09 pm

Wanna sell your ea when its done?

by **theboss290** » February 15th, 2009, 9:35 pm

hmm may be but probably not for some time once i get the interior sorted I want to get to the next stage which will be the go fast stuff, I will use the motor in it for the time being until it goes bang!! as i have a late EF motor that will get some goodies and dropped in at a later stage. :twisted:

by **ELXR_96** » February 16th, 2009, 8:18 am

lol no problem i finally got my el going again god it's been a while.. life just sucks without a car.
I'm still going to buy an ea cause i have an outrageously gay soft spot for them.

by **theboss290** » February 16th, 2009, 8:41 pm

OK here she is in all her filthy glory :twisted:

This will be the last time you will see her this way next time she should be almost finished.

by **ELXR_96** » February 16th, 2009, 8:56 pm

dead set it's an absolute weapon i can't say to much more about it

by **theboss290** » February 16th, 2009, 9:01 pm
