RUQ1KA's Reintroduction

[[RUQ1KA]]

Hey all,

Well my names Tom, I've been around the e-series club for a while now, since the old ff.com days (used to be known as Mad_ea_spac and Mad_ed_wagon), most of you probably wont know me as i havn't posted much on any forums as of late due to work and what not, and also the fact i didn't have an e-series daily for a couple years. but i have gone through about 5 or so e-series so far! :O

Well about 6 months ago i ended up selling my BA Fairmont Ghia to get back into an e-series, while the BA was nice. i was too scared to do anything to it because it was too new. ended up picking an EA Ghia on lpg up. looking worse for wear for $1800 with 12 months reg and RWC





This is where i'm at with it as of today.







That scooped bonnet only went on today, still unsure whether im keeping it on or not. The envi green paint job is an extremely dodgy backyard job which i will be fixing in the near future too... and the turbo sticker on the garnish went on for fun a few weeks ago and kinda just stayed there since, i am looking at turboing it soonish though so yeah keep an eye out

i'll make a proper build thread for it when i have more time.

[[RUQ1KA]]

Here it is before it had the scooped bonnet on it. unsure what i want to leave on it at the moment :S

+1 to standard bonnet
+1 to removing boot lip
+1 bigger rims

+1 for bigger rims and dumpage....

[EFFalcon]

[needfordspeed]

Nice, what's wrong with the paint you said it was dodgey?

Also, got any more pics of the BT1?

[Sunboost]

Did you read the whole thread/post Gill? I can see in one picture the whole side looks really matt. And he has already said "extremely dodgy backyard job".. and it's acrylic.

Not to be cocky man, but really not a fan. It looks like it's right at home up there in Dandenong! The simpler and neater the better.

[needfordspeed]

Nup didn't read it all, didn't wanna ask for more pics of the BT1 without saying anything else but

[[RUQ1KA]]

That douche offering 4.5k for that POS can't possibly be for cereal!

[nommic]

Reckon that'd be the seller trying to generate interest? No one would be that stupid would they? :S
