GMacca's EL GLi

Postby GMacca88 » October 6th, 2009, 4:19 pm

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.

The door trims were done by my brothers fianc'e but have to fix them up a bit as they starting to come unstuck at the corners.

Hey well today on my way to work my front right hand tire decided it didnt like to be here and destroyed itself at 110km/h, scared the crap out of me but luckily was able to get it to a halt and all good.

Hey havn't been on for a while so thought i should update progress

Interior is almost done just a few more bits to do

Image

Then got a friend who is a professional spray painter to fix up the rocker cover

Image

and now how engine sits at the moment

Image
