Don't you already have a thread?
Wings weren't on EF cluster - but pull the cluster out there should be a VDO test date tag on it, and also the make / model it's from. The background and font between EF and EL is significantly different. You can just change the fascia's though.

How is it easier said than done?
It's quite simple raising your foot.
If you can't do that then why drive?
It'll be a lot easier when you're in a 3x3 cell because you fucked up.
That's why there is deca days and drags for.
Don't take what I said to heart. Just lift your right foot.
Cheers

Scored A Fairmont Boot For the xr for $25,

tossing up on wether or not to shave the boot lock.

im thinking about putting them back on, unsure though as i like the ride of the FTR's,
i just think looking at the back of it its too plain for me, but its trial and error so if i dont like it ill just chuck the other back on.
picking it up from vicpol impound yard tomorrow morning, YAY!
