Toohey's EL Falcon

[toohey_08]

hey guys just starting to use this site a bit more
my names Dillon, i'm 16 and i gotta heritage green 97 EL falcon for my first car. I got the car stock. It has a T5 manual conversion on it and has 175,000 kms on it. i got it for $2700 with a RWC and 12 months rego.
stock it looked like this:






the mods i've done to it so far include:
pioneer 6" rear speakers
Jvc headunit
Blue LED Dash Conversion
some snowflakes rims which i got for free
lowered it on superlow king springs with KYB lowered shocks
smoked altzezza lights
side clear repeaters
Lukey panel air filter
exhaust (2 1/2" mandrel bent lukey catback with no rear resonator) with twin dumpers tip
EL xr6 rear seats which i picked up for $40

now it looks like this :










there are still more mods that i would like to do later on like a good set of rims, extractors, new cam etc
thanks

hahahah we needa get that fkn dash off first

[Frost]

Looks good. But u need to loose the snow flakes they don't even look good on ea's lol

[toohey_08]

yeh i agree lol but its only for the time being until i get a decent set of 18"/19"rims

[stav50]

if u still got the stockies and if they still have some tread, get some gloss black enamel paint spray them and chuck them on, will look better than snowflakes, even just give the stockies a clean.

nice car, the LEDS looks pretty sweet

[SnyperEB]

Nice pick up mate but I would get rid of those snow flakes.

[toohey_08]

thanks guys but i dont have the stockies cause 2 of them were buckled
i wouldve gotten turboblades or just stokies and painted them but my uncle gave em to me before i was able to find some 15's for sale
but as i said earlier it's only till i get a good set of rims

[Biggie.c]

i like ur dash lights matey howed u do em?? much effort involved? i got blue led lights cepts for my dash.. not to keen on pulling my dash apart/dont even know where to start with it lol

[toohey_08]

hey thanks
dash is fairly simple just takes a bit of time and fiddling around with. it's just mainly changing around the filters and the actual globes themselves to the colour led u want

[jason_EL_POWER]

Hey, with your 'Blue LED Dash Conversion' did you just buy the globes then put them in yourself?

[toohey_08]

hey
the cluster i bought off ebay already dome because i wanted to upgrade to a high series one
everything else i bought the globes for

[jason_EL_POWER]

Oh i see did it cost much?

[toohey_08]

globes are cheap as jaycar sell them for about $1-$2 each and ebay pack of 10 for $15 - $20
cluster when i bought was about $80 but since then the seller has raised the prices to about $200

[jason_EL_POWER]

Yeh, im buying one, since i only have a Ford sapphire, my cluster doesn't have the voltmeter and oil pressure gauge, so im getting him to install them, and hes going to put it in, love it.

[toohey_08]

sweetness its worth it
looks 10x better

[psychotic-angel]

[toohey_08]
