Thanks guys, i haven't really done anything outrageous with it, just did things they way i like them, colours and styles, etc.
I like things to stand out, but still be neat and subtle, if you get what i mean.

LOL, i remember that cruise, i think everyone else's car was running on the fumes mine was putting out!

Yeah it was a great idea respraying it Max, it looks so much better now.

Lol, yeah thank Brendo...
There were a lot of Nats times in that car. The mob, Fyshwick cruises, Adrian trying to do a burnout, and Super Sneaky mode. haha

Nothing much has changed with it lately.
I'd have to find a few pics, but there's a few obviously at the start of the thread.
Thanks for the comments though.

LOL, yeah if i could be fucked.
I will at some stage though, might just wait and take some photos back in Melb if i drive back down over Christmas this year.
I'll have to get some shots from up this way, there are some nice places to do it.
Kristy and John took some nice ones for me, and printed them all out. Don't have a scanner though.

IMO its near one of the nicest, Dave will agree theres plenty of stuff that could be improved.
but for a car thats had a fair share of different drivers and has been driven a fair bit... its very nice.

Its a simple combo that works nicely, most will agree that the EL XR is one of the nicest looking cars ford has produced, especially with the full kit etc.
add the black/stance and best possible choice of wheels... hard to resist.

lol, ive always thought fr's are over rated a bit, but on that car, your right, perfect match to the car, hard to imagine anything looking much better.

Hey Dave, any truth to the rumour that this almost caught on fire today?

Kinda. Battery box, lid snapped off, then the mount for the box broke, and the battery somehow moved enough to try and weld itself onto one of the metal arms in the boot.
Killed the battery and melted the insulation off my earth cable, and other amp wires.
I burnt myself ripping them off while they were still smoking and smouldering and threw the battery outside.
Was all good, bit of bad luck. Just gonna rip eveything out of the boot and start again i think.
