Harro's EF Ghia 5.0

[Harro]

Ok, so thought i'd throw up some pictures Of my Baby.

It is a January 1995 EF1 Fairmont Ghia V8

When i Picked it up it had 260000k's, but was in amazing condition. It also had been fitted with Lows and a cat back exhaust

It was advertised on the AFF For Sale Section.


(pic from for sale thread)

After an NRMA inspection gave it a 8/10 for body and a 9/10 for mechanical, i took the plunge and put a deposit down on it - Site Unseen!

3 days later i was on a plane to canberra.

Drove back fantastically and did it in a tank and a 1/4 - Not bad.

First thing was to convert to LPG, yes im cheap.

Being an EF1 it's interior Was no where near as nice as an EL, so i replaced a couple of plastic EF1 parts for classty EL bits


Chrome handles


Woodgrain Surround

After that i just got a set of 19'' BF GT-P Copys




It does need to be lowered more but im struggling with the 245's on the rear

Other than that just has a Full Pioneer Stereo and Peeling Factory tint

[Harro]

Oh, and it SHOULD of had some engine work by now, but....

Of course it threw a transmission so that cleaned the savings right out

Wheels look great with that colour.
Have any engine mods in mind for the future?

[EFFalcon]

ooh, its a 5 litre.
awesome.

It will start small.

Im looking around for an explorer manifold and new heads.

Will also go a new cam and a few other tasty goodies

Also pricing a dedicated gas set up and Supercharger, but if i go that route i will buy another motor and build it bit by bit

tank and a 1/4 from canberra to viccy?? christ mate! sounds like you musta had fun on the return trip

Very nice car mate, I hadn't seen it on AFF before.

What kind of cat-back is it? (size, mufflers, etc) I strongly recommend PH4000 extractors, gives the car a much better note And if you go straight gas, get twin exhausts!

Looks really nice mate, interior needs a clean out tho!
Good luck with it.

it is 2.5''. It has Hi-Flo cats and a hotdog muffler, Thats it! Very Loud

Extractors are high on the list though

[Harro]

haha yeh braden, it can get bad, but working 6 days a week, 100km round trip a day, it can build up very quick

Looks great mate. Wheels really suit it. Get an EL Fairmont grill and some fairlane clear side repeaters and it will be sweet.

[galapogos01]

looks great. do you live near huntingdale and have clear tail lights? i think i've seen your car around.

[Harro]

BEN189, Nah i don't like the EL Grille on EF's, mainly coz the ELs have chrom striping around the car that ties the chrome in with the grille

galapogos01, No and No
