Boosted Falcon

Thought it was about time I did a quick write up on my car...been bit slack.
Looking for my first car there was no other option for me other than to get a ford....probably would have been put up for adoption if I bought anything else...luckily for me this one came up for the right price and I couldnt be happier.

It's a 1993 EBII Fairmont Ghia....wasn't too keen on the cardinal red...but it's grown on me.

Some of the goodies:
-full leather interior
-sprint body kit
-16" factory rims
-k&n air filter
-extractors
-lowered (not low enough)
- tinted windows (not dark enough)


not really planning on any engine mods for the car...juz gonna try n keep it as neat as i can with tasteful cosmetic mods...im not into turning it into a one of a kind car...juz a sweet cruiser...so here's my plans:
-darker tint
-lowered
-bigger rims - Advanti Zeta hopefully
-clear repeaters
-always been a fan on the xr twin light setup...but i havn't convinced myself of it yet...juz an idea


On with the pics:

nice lookin car only thing i don't like is the ass end never was a fan of the sprint rear...

Plates are awesome.
Looks to be in pretty decent nick too, and well optioned.
All it's missing is the V8 and a sunroof.

Lol yeah well a v8 i can do without...i spend enough on petrol already

but your spot on with the sunroof...i wish

haha i am with steady plates are sweet you fluked them ones haha, its a really nic elookin rig there mate,

lol yer thats the first thing everyone notices....i didnt even notice it till after i bought it

hey mate nice ride, id be happy with that as well, i got a eb xr6 and the amount of fuel the 6's use might as well drive an 8, enyway goodluck with the car keep us posted with pics

Well it's taken long enough but I finally got off my ass n did something to my car lol it's not much...but im happy...

While up at my brothers for xmas I ended up in his garage trying to claim whatever parts I could get my hands on...n it actually worked.....first things that went on today were clear indicators...but several more goodies coming (and going) tomorrow.......can't wait

seen this car in person and looks really good for its age.. i also wanna steal the leather out of it..

Got any pics? What other goodies are ya getting?

302-CNT would be my plates if I moved to Qld

Looks great!

Got pics but I can't put them up atm......I can't spoil the suprise lol...hopefully there will be 5 new cosmetic changes to spot by the end of the week.......plus a couple more that won't be visible lol

That 8 could easy be transformed into a 3 for shits n giggles....hmmmmm lol

Woops forgot one.....should be 6 changes by the end of the week....if all goes to plan......

Well i've moved out and now have access to a computer..so i can finally put pics up of my little changes, only a few minor things but im stoked with how the car is atm.

Before......

super low king springs yer
i dig them ed xr6 tickford rims,they look tuff on a dumped car

Nice car but I would change those plates!!

Nice Job eb-baby, looks good

Looks shit.

Nah seriously this car is sexy as now that the amber and wing is gone and it's on it's guts. Makes mine look 4WD spec lol. Once the bonnet's done it'll be just about perfect.

No fkn idea

well nothing really exciting to update...just done a few lil things today i been meaning to do for a while...oil change, new oil filer, fuel filter and spark plugs, also tinkered with the pod filter setup...it is now actually being useful and less illegal than it was before. The plans are also in motion for ef/el thermo fans, twinlights (eventually), nolotahane sway bar bushes and trailing arms, and since i recently decided to throw a lot more money at the car than i have been...it should be a relatively quick process fingers crossed. Now all i have to do is stop spending money on useless ****.

And on with the ramdom pictures

what springs are in ya eb? are they 15s or 16s?

They're superlow King Springs.

The wheels are 16's if that's what you meant to ask...

looking good......

well done its looking and coming along grate
if you are after some more na cheap mods chuck a bbm on it

Well there has been a lil bit more progress....

Last week I managed to pick up a complete ed xr6 twinlight setup and a some woodgrain dash surrounds.

Chucked the twinlights on the other day, couldnt stop myself, just wanted to see them in there...but I assure you they came straight back out lol just gotta stop bein so slack and get them sprayed...cant wait...



The woodgrain went in straight away, along with a stitched leather centre console I nicked from Matt. Wasn't fully convinced with the woodgrain straight away...but its starting to grow on me....





and also the 17's im interested in....i like


aand some other random pics…..





aaaand that's about it for now.....

awesome progress, will look schmicko with the XR front on, but in cardy red of course

Some chrome highlights would go nicely with that woodgrain.
