Hey I'm Daniel.
This is my EBII Fairmont Ghia I brought a while back with a blown head gasket for a grand.
It's got a high compression Tickford head with a baby 1636, XR fuel reg, EL ECU, new plugs, leads, Genies with stock exhaust and AU injectors. Goes pretty well with good fuel economy to.
After everything listed above including RWC and 12 months reg, the car only cost me $2000. Not bad I say.

Basically In the next couple of weeks I plan on painting the door hadles, the front gaurds where the flaps rubbed the paint off, new fuel cap, removing glue shit around the windows, retinting the back window, fit super lows, rims and larger grind plus tune.

Interior is MINT and it's great to drive. All electrics and everything work perfect.

I'll keep use updated if anyone cares.

Yeah I brought it for the seats initially but got a pre roady for shits and gigs and all it needed was 1 ball joint so I just did the head and regestered it.
I had it on ebay for a bit when I got tight but changed my mind as it's to comfy and so far reliable lol.

You'll just have to pray for me to write it off lol.
May swap for some equal quality leather/velour seats for a change though :)

I got myself a custom TI J3 off Jason which all I can say is WOW about. Changed the way it drives so freaking much! Better gear shifting, throttle response, idling and fuel economy! Highly recommend for anyone with random different bits thrown together like me.
I've also had a few mechanical problems having to replace the coil, dissy cap and fuel pump.
Today I lowered it and put some FTRs on. Corners and sits heaps better. Will just need some new shocks in the near future. The springs will settle a bit more in the next few days but here's a quick pic I took.

Thanks mate! I'll get some photos on the weekend when hopefully it's lower.
I need ultras when I get new shocks that's for sure!
I'm going to paint some bits, get new tint, bigger cam and exhaust then I'll be pretty much happy with it for a daily.
