Boosted Falcon

Onto the new car.
Picked this baby up around a month ago and thought it was about time to show her off.

She is an EL Fairmont Ghia 5L.
Silver in colour
19 inch Dark Argents
Full Tickford Kit
50/50 Leather/Velour
Premo Sound
185,XXX KM

Since owning the lady ive made her talk louder.
Given her some sunglasses (17%)
And some clear side repeaters.

Ill get onto the pictures.


Future plans include converting her to manual so im in more control. How I like it.
Remove the spoiler.
And do something with her heart because she is sluggish. So get a 5l block and slowly build it up and put it in.

Hope you guys like it.

Oh I also picked up a sunroof to go in her to give her a better stance.

Feed back is most welcome.

looks pretty damn nice, certainly doesn't need much!

SWEEEETTTT!

Yeah drives and sounds nice.
Few minor imperfections but what 14 year old doesnt.

Seats need a clean though. Any ideas on how to go about it?

looks nice man,with the seat cleaning id spray some industrial glue remover onto the velour and get a steam cleaner and clean it like that man.will come up awesome

That looks awesome! makes me not want to sell my silver fairmont.. Which was actually called the fairmonster by its previous owner lol. Hows the hunt for a manual going? ive got a t56 if you want it

mint as fark. But get some cornering lamps in there.

ive heard and seen this thing and its fkn mint.
sounds so tuff for a stocker!

Thanks for the seat cleaning advice.

Saw a Manual xr8 au box and shit wen to pounce on it but he sold it a few hours before... Bummer

Looking for conering lamps. Hard to find

Thanks Misk

Looks good mate.
we are putting a t56 into my brothers au soonish if u want a manual conversions.
its a series 3 xr8.
pm for price.
cheers josh.

Pm sent

Well I finally got around to taking off the spoiler. I like it so much more now

looks mint man.
what exhaust are you running?
it sounded like the engine had some work done to it when you came past

Wheres the boot garnish?

My guess is he got a gli boot and hasn't drilled the holes yet?

Nice! Looks killer, needs more lowering!
What exhaust are you running?

Exhaust is just dumped at the diff exiting some small mufflers.
Engine is dead stock lol but will br getting some heads and explorer manifold soon.
Just a gli boot and yeah havnt drilled anythung yet. Will in time.
Defently needs to be lower all round

Some more pics after her bath

If I got gt40p heads can I still use my std exhaust manifolds or wil I need a diff set?

Also are gt40p heads cast or alloy?
Thanks

not sure about standards but paceys can be used but plugs are shit to change and 90 degree leads ends are needed.

theyre cast.
cheers josh.

Looks to be a pretty good height to me.. Whats springs you running? :O i love that ticky spoiler!!!!

Hmm might have to save lots and lots.
Spoiler annoyed me just sitting there thinking it was all that. Dont like it.
