CLEAN BA FAIRMONT

This is my new Ba Fairmont, I've gone for just the clean look with no performance mods, except for Tyhoon CAI and K&N Air Filter. Didn't want anythingover the top, like silly bodykits etc, Just a clean daily driver.
I have included pics from when I first bought the car, and the small mods I have done to it.

Yes it is low, but no it doesn't scrape on everything. It's very rare that it does scrape actually. You can go a lot lower in a B series than you can in an e series due to the rear supsension setup. I was very surprised myself actually when I first drove it that it didn't scrape on everything, just lucky I guess

Hey guys,
Just wondering if anyone on here has a set of Fairlaine/LTD leather seats for sale? I enquired about them from Ferntree Gully Autosalvage, but they overcharge for their products ridiculously.
Thanks

Yes I do love the V8's but I enjoy having the fuel efficient 6 cylinder as my daily driver. I also did raise the rear end of the car after getting several canaries. It is now sitting at the perfect height I think. Non-commoder spec aswell lol

Last pic - very nice! Got any interior shots mate?

My Fairmont's really growing on me, but it doesn't have the character of my old EB or EF...

I thought so, great looking car. I saw it on a couple of car cruises back when I was running around in the EB.

Maybe you should "inject some character" into this one Dave, if you know what I mean! ;)

I have Lovell's SSL rear springs, I personally prefer them over King Springs, just because I think they ride a bit nicer and they seem to sit a bit lower.
