I dont think you're thinking of my car, it hasn't left my house in a while and i haven't been to hampton park, unless my dad was up that why when he was driving my car, or my brother lol everyone drives my car.

i've actually seen that photo before and it inspired me, i didn't realise it was a gt boot though, how much do they go for?

thanks whitey, im enjoying it very much, alot more fun to drive then the auto.

you can get the eb gt leather gear boot for $30 at your ford spare parts dealer

awesome, i'll get one tomorrow. but how do you secure it under the gear stick surrounding trim?

ill go take a pic for ya
of the under neath

thanks for doing that mate, i appreciate it. i wasn't sure if it would have the matching holes for those little pin things. i'll pick one up tomorrow, thanks again mate

nice wagon. nice conversion. notice much of a power difference?

Thanks phillis, i definetely noticed a difference, it's a lot more fun to drive, acceleration is awesome, i've dropped the clutch at the lights and taken it to a hundred k's in 3rd gear in about 7-8 seconds (rough estimate) i recomend a conversion if your thinking about it.

nice wags mate. lovin the undercarridge custom paint lol. how bout some pics of ur sound gear? or are the plates wank factor?

I just seen this thread. Looking good love the effort of cleaning it and painting it. Is it still clean now? lol

yes its still clean lol as for my sound system I'll put up some photo's in a couple of days when i get home from holiday. Using my phone atm. The system includes a Response head unit. 4x kenwood speakers 180watt. 15" us audio 1000watt sub run by a 1400watt Boss Audio amp. Looking to upgrade to two better quality 15s. I've bridged the amp 2 ways. I have a 700watt pioneer 2 channel amp for the rear speakers for when i get my capacitor. I run 2 gauge power and negative cables. I dont believe the plates are a wank factor, i saw them for sale and knew they would suit my car if not now then in a couple months when its finished. Im not worried about having the plates on the car now considering the car isn't on the road much yet.

nah doesnt sound like it. gunna do any sort of custom install work?

Im trying to think of something a bit creative, i was gonna build i twin 15" sub box to fit nicely in the back. Im not sure what i could do? Any ideas

heres mine for inspiration. i originally wanted to do the subs reverse mounted in each corner angled diagonal to the centreof the roof and the amp in between but the budget didnt suffice (material costs) so went with this:
