1998 EL XR6 painted :)

Postby skidel » March 5th, 2012, 6:24 pm : Matty88, thebeast. Likes this post

hey, just thought i'd post some pictures of my el xr6 I brought just a few weeks ago. Cars is a stock standard 5 speed, with pacemakers and a sports exhaust!

This is what it was when i got it-

I decided i didn't like the the el tail lights so i brought some ef lights, shown below!

Shortly after that, i installed a full leather interiour and wired up my sound system !

My next investment is a set of 18 inch ba xr8's, so if you know some for sale let me know :)

Looks nice and low in that last pic.

To change the front springs you need a spring compressor. And it too me a while to do that, I reckon anyone else would have and can do it in a lot less time than it took me :/
