Exqsme's NA Fairlane

Postby Exqsme » October 21st, 2013, 9:40 am

Hey all!

This is my first post here, thought I'd start off by telling you all about my daily.

She's an NA Fairlane that cost me $600 about a year ago. Only has 113k on the clock and full service history.
Up until recently I didn't have the cash to get her on the road, but after roughly $2500 she's rego'd so I'm pretty stoked.
Only thing I have to do now Is put in a new transmission as the current 3 speed is slipping.
If anyone has any ideas of what I should do next feel free to let me know as I'm completely stumped!

I've spent a lot of time cleaning up dents and scratches and I'm pretty happy now.

Love the box lanes.
I would find some clear indicators to give it a cleaner look.
Other then that it looks very nice and 113km, gotta be stoked with that!!

I'd also lower it a smudge.

Yeah clear indicators are a definite for me, just gotta find some that aren't too worn or expensive.
And I'm looking at lowering it soonish, after I've paid off my layby for all my audio that I placed today.
Also looking for a Fairlane hood ornament if anyone has one floating around they want to get rid of!

Huge thanks to Greenhorn for the indicators.

Picked them up today and they look great!

They make a huge difference to the overall look of the car.
