Thanks for the welcome tqure...

As far as the beast goes, it's had it's fair share of problems (computer, some dodgy electrics, a leaky boot) but the body's straight as a die(and rustproven), so it'll serve it's time as a daily driver until the original motor gets too tired.. then the real fun begins! ;)

Awesome looking Fairmont you had there icahn... I'm a fan of the subtle decklid spoiler, so I might steal that idea! :grin:

I'm also looking to install a GT front bar & ED XR8 headlights, when it comes time for a respray.
