Ned's EL Futura.

ned · Post by **ned** » August 30th, 2007, 1:59 am

Hey guys,

Just bought a new car, it's an EL Future, colour is Arctic Blue I believe. Has 159,000km on it, some bullshit mags and it's spotless inside and out.

Will post pics soon.

Good stuff man, get pics up asap. What are your plans for it?

stevo · Post by **stevo** » August 30th, 2007, 9:07 am

Want to take it out with some stockies on it? I was with fordgirl a few times when you took your old car out

ned · Post by **ned** » August 30th, 2007, 9:16 am

Ahaha I need some stockies first!

Not sure about plans yet, might paint the dash and put neons in there somewhere.

Joking!!

So what made you settle for a Futura? What did it set you back? I was looking on carsales last night and Falcons are worth two tenths of stuff all. Hurry up with the pics mate

Haha I just noticed all your posts looking for parts already. No mucking around, good shit.

The overall condition of the car made me go ahead with the purchase. All the Fairmonts I was finding were not even close to how looked after this thing is.

Can someone tell me where you need to look to add attachments? I cannot find it anywhere!!

stevo · Post by **stevo** » August 30th, 2007, 2:15 pm

good point i cant see the option either. Just upload to photobucket and insert instead

you can't add attachments, just use photobucket or imageshack.

try clicking properties on the pics, then put the photo address in ya address bar, and it takes u to the deakin site, where u've got to click proceed in order to see the pics. thats how i saw them....
Car looks good

SgtBourne · Post by **SgtBourne** » September 5th, 2007, 12:14 pm

once you right click the "image text" and copy the link location, paste it in your browser and then accept deakins antivirus thing, you will be able to see the pictures as normal

ned · Post by **ned** » September 5th, 2007, 12:22 pm

Yeh cheers man, the Deakin site is weird now! I'm having a few problems with my server but hopefully should be fixed tonight!

stevo · Post by **stevo** » September 5th, 2007, 12:42 pm

Uploaded them for you so its easier to see

XRated · Post by **XRated** » September 5th, 2007, 12:53 pm

Looks mint. But those wheels have got to go!!

ned · Post by **ned** » September 5th, 2007, 5:45 pm

Thanks Stevo!

Nah man them wheels are hot! Was thinking about mudflaps and exterior neons to suit the car colour. :S

+1 for ban?

ned · Post by **ned** » September 6th, 2007, 8:21 pm

Just changed my dash over to white LED's.

Brought some Superlows.

And other shize gonna be added soon.

ned · Post by **ned** » October 8th, 2007, 5:12 pm

Just a quick pic from today. Sprry for taking so long. Anyway, she now has... Pedders Sports Ryder shocks in the front with Superlow springs, and Pedders Comfort Gas in the rear with Superlow springs also. Next is the stereo hopefully.

Ned... are/were you at Deakin Uni by any chance? I remember meeting a Ned a couple of years ago there that was working on an e-series. I don't think I had my EL at the time, so I probably didn't pay too much attention.

Post by **Commando** » October 8th, 2007, 6:02 pm

Looks good dumped on 'ceptors.

abu · Post by **abu** » October 9th, 2007, 11:14 am

Looks tough mate!

ned · Post by **ned** » October 9th, 2007, 12:30 pm

Yeh that was probably me nommic, I had a green EB fairmont back then.

nommic · Post by **nommic** » October 9th, 2007, 1:02 pm

Cool, if you see me around say hi. I have the silver EL Fairmont Ghia with e-series stickers

Met another e-series owner in the carpark today, adam with his red Ghia (has fordmods stickers)

Kenaz · Post by **Kenaz** » October 9th, 2007, 2:34 pm

Looks much better mate.

Post by **Sunboost** » October 9th, 2007, 2:37 pm

Futura caps and some provocative plates FTW.. [YUW3T4] or some junk.

ned · Post by **ned** » October 31st, 2007, 12:27 pm

Car is on Futura caps now, was just a matter of finding them

Pics to follow.

ned · Post by **ned** » March 5th, 2008, 3:00 am

Took me a while, but I actually got my act together and took some pics tonight.

Here's a few.

XRated · Post by **XRated** » March 5th, 2008, 5:12 pm

Man that looks tough!

I know they're superlows in the back, but are they 'modified' at all? What did the shocks and springs set you back? How does it ride now?

Kenaz · Post by **Kenaz** » March 5th, 2008, 5:26 pm

Mint! That's exactly how to do it.

stevo · Post by **stevo** » March 5th, 2008, 5:49 pm

fark me thats slammed

ned · Post by **ned** » March 5th, 2008, 10:34 pm

Yeah rears have had 1 coil taken off, it rides better than my EB did. Only problem is that I had to do some custom mods to my exhaust at home due to a bullshit muffler so it hits the diff now and then, but nothing a 2.5" cat back wont fix later at the exhaust place.

Post by **Sunboost** » March 6th, 2008, 7:35 am

That's mad. The height is perfect!

ned · Post by **ned** » March 6th, 2008, 10:28 am

To same I'm happy with the ride height would be an understatement.

Now I just gotta wait for Wolf to hurry up and I'm on my way to boosted goodness.
