Sundeep's miserable EA Falcon

How much will it cost to clear the EPA shit? surely stock running gear wouldnt be that hard for you to fit, and I cant see how changing paint will help with this issues anyway?

I think he's over driving a car that stands out so much.

Looking forward to this project Sunny but I reckon sell the green one for profits then start over.

i can sort of understand when it has epa out standing on it.
but then again ya not gana be able to drive it your self anyway are ya? legally anyway

Post by **Sunboost** » October 20th, 2009, 7:27 am

Nah coz it'll be all original, running good and standard exhaust by the end of this - will be easy to register.

I'm not gunna spend around $800-1000 getting it back on the road legally as a green EA, then flogging it for $2500-3000... it's not worth it.

I was thinking EB pillars, EF/EL mirrors and handles, EL interior, EL XR8 side skirts, sprint front and rear lips and white tail lights.

What does it look like now? Does it still have the turbo gear and crap on it? Pics?

bentls · Post by **bentls** » October 20th, 2009, 3:34 pm

im thinking its going to be painted and "registered"and daily driven.....

Post by **pHaT`eL** » October 20th, 2009, 4:00 pm

I figured the stickers would be the whole lot. BTW, anyone know where I can get 90's spec Ford Motorsport stickers?

Sunny, Im pretty sure this thing needs 9" wide Snowflakes on the rear

silver with a polished lip!

i want snow flakes like that pete

Post by **TUFED6** » October 20th, 2009, 5:20 pm

I can dig the restoration. The car has history to him and obviously he's over the green. Stark can look good if its in good nick.

Can you even get those sticker kits? That's pretty cool if you can. I always liked those 'driving australia' ones. Wasn't there some cheesy aircon sticker as well?

LUXO_8 · Post by **LUXO_8** » October 20th, 2009, 5:28 pm

try rare spares, if you can get them they would be the place

Post by **pHaT`eL** » October 20th, 2009, 5:39 pm

RareSpares only have Sprint badges

Rollin · Post by **Rollin** » October 20th, 2009, 5:49 pm

I have a strange affinity for the "Good day, Sunshine" ones - not sure if they were Aust wide or just for Queenslanders (being the sunshine state...).

Wouldn't mind one or two of those...

Post by **needfordspeed** » October 20th, 2009, 5:54 pm

awesome. stark > dynamic. but i am sceptical you will do this!

Post by **Sunboost** » October 20th, 2009, 7:12 pm

Stark white code Z ftw.

Lol @ so much sticker talk now. There was a stand at AFD a couple of years ago that sold all sorts of stickers. They even had 70's and 80's rego stickers and all that. Some XW/XY/XB enthusiastics will probably know who the mob was.. but this is my idea ****!!

When / if it starts .. it will be done properly

Hopefully it looks like a brand new EA S Pack.

And yeah, what TUFED6 said .. this car has history for me hence not just buying some random abortion and giving it a new lease on life.

Lol @ title change Gill. You forgot to add caged in there somewhere.

Post by **needfordspeed** » October 20th, 2009, 7:15 pm

I didn't change it lol, check the logs!

Post by **Sunboost** » October 20th, 2009, 7:20 pm

Cbf... who did it lol?

Oww I liked the green

Seems silly respraying it but for all the effort and $$ to then sell it for next to nothing seems pointless. Can understand you not wanting to part with it though. Gonna be mint, dont forget progress pics!! (Once its started that is

)

Post by **EFFalcon** » October 21st, 2009, 8:29 am

maybe he'll never sell it!
