Hey guys am only new here so thought i should share my car with you.
She is a 1998 Ford Falcon GLi which i bought as my first car back in 2006 stock standard. Since then i have added a 2.5 inch redback exhaust, lowered it a little, chucked on a set of 18" Advanti vaults as well as the clear tail lights. hope you like it and is a work in progress so gives me something to do.

Future plans are to put on the EL XR8 body kit that is sitting in the shed as well give her a little bit of boost.

hey yeah the original grill is back in as got sick of people picking on the pink thing (it does look better with the original one in it thou). Have seen ya cruising around shep and at maccas i will have to stop and say hi next time i see ya.

The door trims were done by my brothers fianc'e but have to fix them up a bit as they starting to come unstuck at the corners.

Sorry man but this car looks rotten. Like the seats but thats about it.

Lose the blue bits inside. I have a serious hate on for the el gli/futura front end

Interior is almost done just a few more bits to do

Image

Image

Then got a friend who is a professional spray painter to fix up the rocker cover
