Hey Guys.
im 19 and come from Moe.
i bought my 94 EF about 4 months ago for $1,000

It came with extractors and a 2 1/2 exhaust. 16" speedys with mitch match tires and 3/4 tickford kit. the paint protector on the boot was really bubbly :( so i got a mate to goto jollys and pick me up a new lid. he got the wrong color
after putting another $1,000 into her, She was registed (WOO!!)

Image
Image
Image

After about 5,000k's the auto started to slip. i serviced it. saved it for another 500 and she was suffering. so off the road she came.
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

i purchashed a conversion kit for $350. after alot of troubles with converting it she started up for the first time :)
i purchased a can of niteshades and had a lil fun
Image

now ive started doing up the interior a bit :) and thats where im at now
Image
Image

in the future i plan to get some 18x7.5 xhp Jets for the front and 18x8.5 for the rear, superlows or ultras all round, au conversion and hopefully when im off my P's a turbo and intercooler setup.

bargain for the price.
some 17/18" rims and front skirt would finish it off nicely.

autobard sells a spray thing that they claim deadens sound. basically rip the entire contents of the boot out, spray it on the bare metal and let it dry. i did a similar thing with my old wagon over the whole rolling shell of the car and it came up a treat.

Nice mate. See how the little things make all the difference! Why dont you have the front lip of the tickford kit?

Re: Woops. Forgot to introduce myself

havnt gotten around to get it. plus the front bar has a crack under the passenger head light.
i wanted to get the lip fitted on a new bar and the car to get a touch up spray but the bloke i got quoted from said im gonna have to do a full body respray cos of all the scratches and stone chips :( said it would cost me from 7-8,000....

With the tail lights, just sand them back and repaint :) Shoulda left the indicator clear though, breaks it up a bit.

lol yea. was my first attempt at spray painting all together. i was thinking of sanding the gloss out of the lights and doing like a matt black then giving it a clear coat.
ive seen it done and it looks really great cos you cant see any red under the black.
