Name's Anth & I'm the proud owner of a 97' Tickford EL XR6. Bit of history behind the car, originally I was in the market for a supercharged VS Calais but after the passing of my Grandfather who adored Ford's his whole life, I thought I'd buy one in memory of him & also to keep his sub 40,000k Original NC Fairlane Ghia V8 company on those lonely nights. After deciding on a Ford, I wondered what to opt for as the AU's didn't interest me & the BA/BF/FG's were a little out of my price range. One thing I needed was manual & sunroof. After endless nights on Carsales, eBay, trading post, you name it. I ended up finding this sub 150k EL XR6, had a sunroof & manual. That weekend I went for the 4 hour drive to go pick it up from country Victoria. Instantly loved it, the smile on my face driving it through Country Vic for 40 minute's sold me. Next thing I was driving back home. Overall I love the car to death, obviously it's going to have a few nicks & crannies for a 15 year old car but it's going to be my work in progress.
I've got this picture in my head of what I want to do with it & it'll be done...
At the moment here's how it stands.
*Heritage Green
*5 Speed Manual
*Factory Sunroof
*Fully Optioned (Passenger Airbag, Cruise, etc) minus the Momo Steering Wheel
*Tickford Kit bar the Spoiler.
*Rolling on FTR's.
What I've done to it so far:
*Wildcat extractors through to a 200 cell High-Flow through to a 2.5" catback with one muffler. Tone's everything, not an annoying drone.
*SL Spring's all round
*Full Sound system, subwoofer, amp & headunit.
What's next:
*Tickford Spoiler
*SSL's in the rear
*Repair the rear damage some moron done to it. -.-
*Cut & Polish
*Momo Steering Wheel
*Darkest legal tint
What I'm dreaming about:
*Wade 1636 cam + supporting mod's
*19" BA GT-P's
*3.9 Diff Gear's
*Full Respray
*Ghia Leather Interior
Anyways, here's a few pics.
Day I picked it up, original plates & all.
Few shots.
Let me know what you guys think.
