Sundeep's Gunmetal Grey EL Ghia 5L

Here are some pictures of my 1996 Fairmont Ghia.

I bought it as a daily back in November 2006, with 348,000km on the clock. Is nearing 370,000 now, and has been the most reliable car I've owned with the exception of a busted radiator cap or two.

It's stock barring a set of Superlow Pedders springs, KYB heavy duty shock absorbers and a sports exhaust with twin dumpers.

giffuct! :P

if a car can rip skids & do mad J-turns, and look sedate, then I reckon it's a sleeper

Kinda like that arab magna at Laverton

Yeah it's on gas :)

By the time you get your license back you can have it sprayed and stroked.

paint was already peeling on one of the door moulds.
and a small bit of paint came off the top of the rear bar at the car wash.
