Well im pretty bored atm so i thought i post up a few pics of my car.
Heres how it looked when i first bought it.

Took it on the great ocean road.

After my EA got written off i decided to do it up a bit so a put a new exhaust and Converted it to manual.
After that i belived it needed a change in looks so i bought an EL grill off pHaT eL and put a bit of mesh in the center. After going on a few cruises,taking off the spoiler seemed to be in fashion so i removed it. I also decided the AU XR rims where to small so i purchased a set of 19" GT-Ps off louisXR6.

Through this time i had also added a few odds and ends to the motor to make it quicker

Anyway i was getting sick of the stocker EF fairmont interior so i purchased a NF Ghia to wreak and pulled out the seats and the cluster to fit into mine.
I also purchased a set of EL Ghia door trims from EFfalcon.

Recently i had it lowered.

And this is how it sits now.

Plans are to rebuild my LSD and throw 3:45 diff gears in it, upgrade my Cam to a bigger one again, extractors, hi-flow cat and maybe next year a turbo if i still have the car.
Im hoping by the end of this year it will be sprayed. Gonna keep with heritage green but might add a gold pearl to it so it stands out a bit more.
Cheers

Swwweeet Mate. Big Fan.

I think everything is right about this car, the stance, the image, everything. Suggestion: Hit your taillights with a can of nightshades .. but looks great as they are as well.

What springs did put under it or did you get the angle grinder out?

Kyle the ED4LTR · February 14th, 2009, 10:05 am

car is lookin sexual Jack, made me wanna buy an EF/EL for a while, i see the cluster is still there

.

P.S: Love the dash plate

ford_racing_8 · Post by **ford_racing_8** » February 15th, 2009, 3:13 pm

thanks guys, the springs are compressed stockers i think i bought them off ed4ltr from memory, and i got pedders shockers all round, its rides suprisingly well. Ive actaully got a can of nightshade in my boot im gonna buy another set of lights just to see what it looks like.

93edxr6 · Post by **93edxr6** » February 15th, 2009, 4:09 pm

Mate, can you tell me the details of the front spoiler on your 'Mont. I think that would look great on my EF Ghia.

Cheers

Nice thread mine

Alot of different stuff has happened to this since

mad_keen · Post by **mad_keen** » June 16th, 2010, 10:55 am

What springs you got in the mont?

ford_racing_8 · Post by **ford_racing_8** » June 16th, 2010, 11:41 am

I havent seen this thread in a while.

wolfblass- i go to the heidelberg campus, id prefer not to drive my car there though ive already had one car pinched from there.

mad_keen- As far as i know there just standard springs that have been compressed but im not 100% sure on that as it rides to well for compressed springs.

ford_racing_8 · Post by **ford_racing_8** » June 16th, 2010, 12:01 pm

C'in as the thread has been re-erected il post up a few recent pics.
This one is just a random happy snap

Post by **pHaT`eL** » June 24th, 2010, 4:15 pm

Its on here too John

Sucks big time!

BROCKYB8 · Post by **BROCKYB8** » June 25th, 2010, 9:11 am

YEah hope they find it .

Post by **Eb Barbie** » June 25th, 2010, 9:59 am

Shite! Stolen usually = parted out

hope you find it in one piece!!

ford_racing_8 · Post by **ford_racing_8** » August 6th, 2010, 11:48 am

Yer i forgot about this page, anyway it was stolen and it was never found

If anyone has seen any of my car or the parts from my car there will be a reward.

xrghiawagon · Post by **xrghiawagon** » August 6th, 2010, 12:24 pm

Shit, that really does suck that they haven't found it. I also read this on Fordmods.

John, might it be suggestable to insert it into the News section on the home page so that if anyone see's any parts or the car itself on forums/trading websites etc. etc, they can report it back to ford_racing_8?

ford_racing_8 · Post by **ford_racing_8** » September 14th, 2010, 6:24 pm

Well after nearly 3 months ive lost all hope in finding my EF, and even though i said id never buy another e series well here i am:
Its a Very Clean EB Fairmont Ghia 5 Litre, mods so far are 2.5 exhaust, lowered, rear venetions and a sunroof.
Future plans are 19" GT-Ps, a Louder exhaust and of coarse....NOS

(cheap way to gain a little power). If i do decide to put money into it Later on il buy a pair of AU XR heads and might even rebuild the motor.
Here are some photos.
