Big Ben's ED

[big ben]

Hi all, Names Ben and living in Brissy, I started out looking for a fast, reliable, modern car…. But those types of cars cost a shit-load so I bought a good old falcon instead…… well I just picked up an ED Futura, not much to her at this stage and needs a bit of work. Picked her up for 2k and she is sadly an auto, anyway tell me what you think of her.
















Tomoro will be given her a wash and polish, also getting rid of the hub caps to reveal that steelie goodness..... Also looking for a set of clear indercators and tail lights.

cheers ben

Thanks for comments guys, keep them coming, if anyone has any ideas would be glad to hear them,
hahah so you guys dont like the clear taillights aye? was thinking of painting the rear garnish white so they didnt stand out tooo badly

[SnipeZ]

Neat car. very nice
the clear tail lights for the ED still has a bright red strip in the center.
such a put off.
just get a fairmont rear garnish and it will look 100x better mate

Well as snyper said the clear taillights look shit no matter what you do with them .
The clear indicator and clear repeaters def a good thing,

Very good base to start with tho .
Welcome

[big ben]

ok sweet as, will be looking for a fairmont rear garnish and looking for a set of clear indercators and repeaters (which i am guessing are the little ones on the front 1/4 panel?) are the clear repeaters fron an AU/Ef or something?

[BROCKYB8]

Have a look around there is alot of stuff written in forum with info of what to do

[dylby1]

AU series1 Fairmont im told.
im after the same for my EB Fairmont

[67rce]

AU 3, just get them direct from Ford

[dylby1]

ok cool. wasnt sure what model they were lol

[big ben]

ok guys well started to clean her and it started pissing down lucky i didnt get the cut n polish out
There is also a horrid noise coming from the frontend, am thinkin its the alt belt and friends but not sure, could be the harmonic balancer too...

[dylby1]

eek my magna set me back 1000 when it threw the belt pulleys
hopefully its not quite that serious though

[big ben]

..... hmm nar thinkin just a set of belts hahah

[dylby1]

lol hope so for your sake lol
lost the car for 3 days cuz its a sideways mounted v6 so they had to lift it up to do the work lol

[Mr_EF_96]

Welcome mate.

Thats a very clean ED Futura for that price mate well done.

I agree go with clear side indicators and get the front clear side indicators aswell and get a Ed fairmont back boot garnish it will really set it off. Also badge it if you can but if you cant then just get rid off those side badges.

Put super lows up front and ultra low king springs up back and slam it on some Ef- El stockys and spray them nice silver or gloss black. I personally like gloss black with chrome rim dressings and wheel studs on any car especialy white cars if you have window tint.

Put a sports exhaust in with a nice dump tip.

Then it will look really muzzed up.

Good luck with it mate.
