Post up some pics pronto

. Aftermarket wheels will have it looking nice with an exhaust making it sound nice. Ebay's good for cheap parts

hi chris
is it manual or auto
eb bonnet looks hot on then and get rid of the garnish on the side near rear window with the two holes in em get the eb or ed parts fairmont rear garnish with tinted or clear rail lights or color code your current garnish,or put a eb or ed rear garnish and tail lights on it,clear blinkers at the front lower it a inch or two set of mags sports exhaust and ya sweet..as dumpsta said ebay is good just watch out there are some jerks on there.decide what you want and what you willing to pay,then go look for it,make sure its in good nick.also wreckers you never know what you might find there and you can get it for next to nothing sometimes even nothing lol.is it the twin throttle body set up or the multi point fuel injection? congrats on the kid a mate of mine his missus just had twins his also got a ea lol hmmm im so not buying a ea i mite find my self being a daddy.for real tho kids a cool i love it when they are a few months old an they can pick whos voice is whos when thwy start smiling and laughing there so much fun post pic's up when ya kid arives after its been washed tho no blood pic's so the ea is going to be a family car and work hack.just because its the family car doesnt mean it has to be boring you can still mod on a budget.hope all goes well with ya car and baby expect pic's of both asap

Hi Chris!
Car looks familiar mate...lol
If it were mine i'd start with the appearance.
Go with a set of king lows, 17" ROH RT's, color code the bars, handles, mirrors and the roof where the clear has peeled, clear front indicators, EB bonnet, 'c' pillars and boot, tint.
That'll get it looking respectable.
Then a set of paccies, 2.5" lukey system, 3.45's, T5, MPFI conversion or a BBM from an EF, Lukey/Redline/K&N filter.
That'll get it moving well.
Then work on the inside, leather/cloth ED Ghia seats, trip computer, S'pac dash, Fairmont door cards, new carpet,
And when your done you can sell it and get a EL2 XR8...lol
Cheers
