Postby toohey_08 » September 29th, 2009, 12:17 am

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 :D

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.

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 ;-)

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
