by **CHEETR** » July 19th, 2009, 10:40 pm

thanks for the comments ay..

as for the springs, im either gona get the lowest king spring they sell, or take a day off work and get these ones compressed at the suspension factory in sunshine never had chopped springs and dont think i ever will.
the tail lights im not doing night shades, im getting another set of second hand ones and removing the orange indicators leaving the red taillight on the garnish and lights.
heres the motor--

ill get some more pics of that during the week, hoping to find a tickford engine cover somewhere

by **pHaT`eL** » July 20th, 2009, 4:50 pm

Good luck finding one, lol! They go for around the $300+ mark.

by **CHEETR** » July 20th, 2009, 5:46 pm

and im putting WK caprice side indicators on, they look trick.

Those indicators will look awesome, but keep the strip, it flows with the car
gotta love dumpas though. twin black ones like mine would look better :lol:

by **shane-ed** » July 20th, 2009, 6:53 pm

this looks like a car down the road from my mates house in rowville..
i think u should put the rear down another inch or two tint the rear lights and get clear repeaters
car looks mint tho

by **CHEETR** » July 20th, 2009, 6:58 pm

well i live at the back of endeavour hills near rowville, but currently house sitting in wantirna south near the other side of rowville and i work of nopolean road on the other side of rowville in ferntree gully, so probably my car.

not tinting the lights, its looks cheap, im going to remove the orange indicator.

big update though
im getting the interior retrimmed in leather in 3weeks, shale leather like my senator with green stitching and "powered by tickford" embroided in the seats in green stitching all italian leather and im doing EL ghia door trims also getting the parcel shelf done as well and a custom steering wheel.

next week the car will be lowered 1inch front and rear and the wheels will be getting white walls. so quite a bit going on.

by **holmsy** » July 20th, 2009, 7:05 pm

still want those injectors/maf
i needs money asap or im going to starve to death. (serious im running out of food and money)

by **CHEETR** » July 20th, 2009, 7:11 pm

found another set of injectors and maf man that im picking up next week, price was a bit high for me dude

by **Parfrey** » July 20th, 2009, 7:13 pm

sorry mate didn't mean to hit a nerve! i'm all for big wheels and 20s on an eb. i just don't think they suit the car... imo it'd look better with the ghia rims.

looks nice regardless.. new interior sounds good.

by **Troutman** » July 20th, 2009, 7:42 pm

Looks good man, now are there any pics of the VT? :mrgreen:

by **CHEETR** » July 20th, 2009, 7:59 pm

theres heaps of pics on the web of the vt, new ones wont be up untill its finished.

i made th emistake of putting up the whole build on the web last time and then street commos didnt want to feature it as everyone already knew around the web and shows so it was featured in smc instead, so i wont be puttin up pics of that untill its close to being finished, still gota come up with the cash for the paint work on it in a few months.

by **needfordspeed** » July 20th, 2009, 8:10 pm

Who's doing the interior work? Are you gonna get the seats re-bolstered?

by **CHEETR** » July 20th, 2009, 9:01 pm

same guy who has done my last 5 cars, finecut auto upholstery.

seats wont be re bolstered, i like them standard, they look pretty nice, they will be refoamed though as the foams in old cars can get a bit brittle after many years of sitting in them.

by **SnyperEB** » July 21st, 2009, 7:41 am

Very clean!!

by **CHEETR** » July 21st, 2009, 9:27 am

thanks mate

by **FordFairmont** » July 21st, 2009, 10:24 am

i really like that colour...... with some colour coding they almost look like a custom non-factory colour

for eg.

by **SVD** » July 21st, 2009, 10:47 pm

Not a prob mate, good stuff!

Mention to the bloke that you've got a T-Series engine and that it feels quite cohesive, and see what he says!

And, he confirms what everyone thinks yet again.

Sorry it fell through mate, hope the ebay one goes alright - should spruce up the bay really nicely.

by **EFFalcon** » July 23rd, 2009, 7:58 am

by **XH5LWEPN** » July 23rd, 2009, 10:06 pm

FKN LOL, if you meet him, tell him your car has a 13.8 in it, but hasn't run down the 1/4 yet, or due to "driving errors" could only manage a 14.4

by **pHaT`eL** » July 24th, 2009, 4:39 pm

Engine cover should look good. Maybe leave some bits silver to break it up a bit.

by **CHEETR** » July 24th, 2009, 8:47 pm

67rce- you reffering to that faggot on ford mods?

phat-el - leaving the front tickford bit in silver, doing the rest in everglade and silver tickford writing in the recessed tickford bit

by **pHaT`eL** » July 25th, 2009, 10:02 am

Thats what I was thinking

Should look mint!

Did you get all the proper AU mounting brackets with it?

by **XH5LWEPN** » July 26th, 2009, 8:36 pm

You need the "5Litre" engine plate for the Explorer manifold too

by **CHEETR** » July 26th, 2009, 9:54 pm
