G'day, I'm Abe. I saw this website written on the rear window of an EF sedan the other day and thought I'd look it up.

This is my ride.

SSV in Sydney use this pic of my car to advertise their kits. I was kinda impressed that they asked.

    I'm pretty happy with it, (The spoiler).

    She has the full leather trim, custom dasch etc, etc, but best of all, she is a treat to drive.

    Fair call. I guess the beauty of this model is that it has so many options available to the individual taste.
    I like the fact that we can all add our own flavour to a car that doesn't have to match every other car around us, ie: commodores. I'm yet to see an EF I don't appreciate.

    Damn that bar looks good. I'm not usually a fan of wings but I think it needs it to balance the car out because of the front bar.

    Tell me when the next get together is and I'll definitely make the effort. I'd love to see what other's have done with their rides.

    All Ford badges are replaced by Herrod badges. External, internal and dashboard inclusive.

    The wing that was on it was horrendous, it had to go.
    The current wing looks so much better, and to see it in the flesh does it justice.
    The rake on it is perfect.

    This is the wing it had....please don't laugh too loud.

      On top it was an EF XR6 wing....the legs on it were raised by 3-4".

      Yes, it was ridiculous and was removed very quickly.
      To me it looked like a leggo block.

      When is the Great Ocean Road run?

      Bipolar: I have no current pics of interior, but it isn't spectacular, just all leather and custom dash, full factory premium stereo head units yadda yadda . But I love it.

      Sterling: plates are my initals, but they are no longer on the car. I was going to sell it so I took them off....now I'm keeping it as I simply couldn't say goodbye. So the plates will be back on shortly.


      Amon: Thank you, I love the wing myself.

      A bit more on the car....4.o litre. Vaporate fuel heating system, pacemaker headers, Redback 2.5 sports, iridian plugs, computer relay override, Herrod built head, a really big heart and a whole lotta love.

      And genuine 151,000 k.

      I reckon a "plainer" BA GT or similar front bar would suit the EF Fairmont grille/lights better, but that's just me. Despite the wing & ricer lights, I quite like your car, very tidy!

      What's the go with the fuel heating system?

      Ricer lights?

      Fuel heating..: Alloy inlet manifold, alloy injector tips, heats the fuel, you burn 100% of fuel instead of spitting 20% out through the exhaust. Add to that the iridium plugs and you can literally feel the diference. Plenty of low end.

      We have fitted several of these with the same result. I'm a definite fan.
