NL Ghia Concorde

Well this is just a little thread of my first car. It's not much but I love her so much.
This car recently got defected and is now no longer on the road and awaiting a roadworthy. Now I'm driving a blue BF Mk2.5 xr6 soon to get exhaust, intake and chip.
I've basically reversed what I have done to this car, except for the exhaust. Kinda heartbreaking as I had spent so much time on this car, but hey. Live and learn. Don't drive around with camber wear hahah.
I've fixed her up and I'm gonna go get her a roady and I'm giving the car to my mum as dads taking her car to work everyday now.

In short, It's an NL Fairlane Ghia Concorde and it came with a factory tickford i6, tickford suspension (close look shows it's just relabled monroe gas shocks), 3.45lsd and ghia options minus sunroof.
What was on it at the time of defect:

Dumped. Low enough to limbo. Was surprised this wasn't put on the defect notice.
17" Alan Jones signature EF copies
Custom catback made by Kleen Flo in Cranbourne (He knows how to make a mean exhaust. I need to upload a clip of how it sounds just so I can show you guys!)
Custom temporary CAI w/ K&N by cutting out a chunk in the sealed bonnet and directing airflow to intake snorkel (Was going to build around it and upgrade but never got round to it)
Complete blue interior leds, dash cluster leds and climate control/clock leds for yummy rice.
Kenwood stereo with two 12" subs
Quickshift variable kit
Black ice air freshener (for extra low to mid range torque)
Slotted front rotors
Other things i've probably forgot to list as well.

When I first got her:

Removed bonnet emblem + Changed rims:

Chucked the Concorde rims back on:

Big Booty Bitches:

A big healthy bowl of fried rice for the blue parkers, changed the custom grille up a bit:

Just a nice picture of it I like:

Hell yeah! I'd love to see it going. It looked good even though it was half in bits with mismatched wheels etc, the intercooler just looked tough in the flesh.

Yeah mate, I'm seeling the 17's that were on it, as part of the roady i needed new tyres lol. Got a full set of brand spanking kumho's on the concorde rims and i've raised it again etc, car is basically stock :/
So giving it to mum when i get the roady done. She'll feel tuff with the loud exhaust

Yep, it's practically roadworthy now.
Ive left a couple of cracked lights/indicators and a few tiny things the roadworthy bloke can pick on me for rather than picking up stupid things like the fact that one side mirror has 'Objects in mirror may appear larger blahblah' and the other one doesn't
Hopefully there isn't any un-noticable structure damage that i never knew existed but then it would have been picked up when i bought the car a year and a half ago...
Oh well :) When it gets back on the road i'll update the thread!
