GMacca's EL GLi

Post by GMacca88 »

Hey guys am only new here so thought i should share my car with you.
She is a 1998 Ford Falcon GLi which i bought as my first car back in 2006 stock standard. Since then i have added a 2.5 inch redback exhaust, lowered it a little, chucked on a set of 18" Advanti vaults as well as the clear tail lights. hope you like it and is a work in progress so gives me something to do.

Future plans are to put on the EL XR8 body kit that is sitting in the shed as well give her a little bit of boost.
