nextto my brothers au the els look way better i recon

mate, if you do what you have planned, i salute you. if that gets done, i wouldnt touch it. IMO thats the best possible car for a p-plater. great find mate

ELs are better than AUs but EF are better than ELs

haha well i wouldnt know about that

but yeah im going to try get the body looking like new going to try get it look as orginal as possible.
p.s if any 1 has the red moulds that go round front and rear bumper and wouldnt mind letting them go for a modest fee ill take em haha

nice pick up mate yeah the el's were a sht hot car for their time and still are today, were you on the boosted cruise on sunday by any chance? there was a young bloke there with what i assume was his el xr and it L's on it as well??

nah wasent me i think i slept till 5 in the afternoon that day 1st day off work allweek lol

best bet is respraying the red moulds. i resprayed mine and they came up better than new. i think they go for about $380 on ebay, thats just the front one

Very nice mate. Wish I had one when I was on my L's!

Looks great, good on you for saving up the cash too

If your upgrading to premium sound, I'd probably spend the money on better speakers / head unit / subwoofer and amp if I was you.

I have the premium setup in my car, hooked up to a new sub / amp.. all stock speakers apart from the sub... it sounds pretty decent but it really needs more powerful speakers, head unit needs more tune-ability (midrange, subwoofer would be good - there is wayy too much mid range) and the head unit needs more power.. but the speakers do sound pretty good, they just don't handle much power... I added the AUX in, its alright for now.. just saving up some money and I'll eventually upgrade it.

yeah iv already put in a pioneer head unit getting pioneer speakers allround and putting a sony 1000watt subb in a the same time swhould sound nice
