My 88 ea falcon (lots of pics)

[scorcher]

hey there all,
well i thought that i would share my car and progress with ya all....
i bought the car for 1000 bucks and it was red, i then lowered it, put a sound system in it, some wheels...etc etc
didn't do much for a while then went all out-got racing seats, 8 inch screen off the roof, AU centre console, custom sub box in the boot, ef/el door trims, electric windows up front, ef/el mirrors, twin thermos, eb engine (have a ef xr6 engine sitting in the shed ready to be turboed), xr front conversion, scorcher body kit, had 18 inch apaches but now have 20 inch wheels, adjustable pedders front suspension lots more but can't remember at present...
its a project that is still going.....well here are a couple pics of it.
also i have just got the car painted with the body kit fitted

when it was red

just after i got it painted with the 18's on it

when i first got the 20's


a shot with a couple of mates and their e-series



heres the pic of the cars that i had in my wedding this year

heres a pic that shows the seats, au console and i have also got a ba short shifter and ba gear knob...

let us know what ya think

[[Sterling]]

stock steering wheel?????? other than that looks mint!!!!!!!!!! like the au console

[Commando]

it's an EBII-ED wheel Same as saying "stock AU console????"

Should be great fun with the turb'd EF XR6 engine slotted between the rails

[Daniel88]

Hey thats funny you say that mines a 1988 model Ea i got it for 1000 bucks and its red too

[Damo]

That's a dam fine looking EA! Looks like you have put a lot of effort into it, well done.

FWIW I preferred the 18's. Not a fan of XR fronts on non XR's either.

[robert]

Awesome job done. Like a totally different car. Like the seats and the console fits well too. Nice.

[EDFalcon]

thats a very very nice example of an EA right there. beautiful car mate.

[Airved]

$1000!? What are EA's worth these days? I bought mine with less than 200km for $300 and it just needed new shocks...is an auto though.

Looks sexier than mine after that paintjob and those rims, though.

[holmsy]

hey man ya have au centre console and electric windows.
where are the electric window switches? and what sort of switch are they?

[Amon]

Fkn awesome job u've done there with the ea! Love the colour and the kit but have to agree with commando, 18's looked better...

[Eb Barbie]

Rims and colour is awesum!

[gunxr8]

hi,car looks great,would you mind telling me where you got the scorcher body kit.they where on ebay for a while but not any more.thanks.

[Amon]

hey mate just saw your car in street fords mag...

[scorcher]

thanks for the comments guys
haven't been on here for a while

yeah i got it in readers rides in street fords which i didn't know about til i bought the mag.
after having it in there they rang me and want to do a feature on it.....how stoked was i!!!

.....but i haven't got the engine bay painted so i told them that i will have to do that first so i have gone and got a loan so that i can finish the job.
so in the next week the engine will be pulled out to get the engine bay ready, while i am in there i am going to tidy up the wiring and get the ef xr6 engine i have siting in the shed re bulit to strap the hi flow to4 on the side and see what happens....think of painting the engine bay black...

i will post pics when i start it all to show the progress

can you get a pic of the electric window switches? i really want an au console but i dont want to lose my windows. if i can see what you did then it will give me some good idea's

[scorcher]

hey man ya have au centre console and electric windows.
where are the electric window switches? and what sort of switch are they?

the switches i have installed down each side of the console beside the seat so they are hidden but are nicely accessable. i have just used ef/el electric window switchs.
heres a pic, you can see beside the seat on the console the switch since this pic i have painted the surround black and looks much better

hi,car looks great,would you mind telling me where you got the scorcher body kit.they where on ebay for a while but not any more.thanks.

yeah i got mine off a fordforums member for cheap as he didn't want to use it, ,but i see them on ebay every now and then

Fkn awesome job u've done there with the ea! Love the colour and the kit but have to agree with commando, 18's looked better...

the 18's look alright but once i got the kit on i needed something to fill the guards, the 18's looked small compared to the 20's

[APV]

hey dude, first off the car looks beautiful. i mean absolutly BEAUTIFUL. great job man.

the au console? any mucking around to get it in. i put an el console in mine and it doesnt fit in, so i had to cut a little out of the back and the front doesnt line up with the bottom of the dash. the au one looks like a good fit in ur pic's, any trouble getting iit to fit properly??

also, the el door trims, do they fit straight on or did u have to modify them as well??
hit me back.
looks awesome man.
cheers

[stalker]

dude ya have to cut a bit out the front of the AU center console to make it fit, and a bit of fucking around with the air vents, as for the door trims there is a bit of screwing around, mainly because of the door handle rods, but it pays off

[holmsy]

apc search for eb centre console i think it is.
full details on putting au console in.

[TonyXR8]

Great looking car you have done a great job

[stuiesEB]

just wanna say f@#k u got that lookin sweet mate

[scorcher]

not much mucking around with the console just the ducting underneath i didn't use cause i didn't want to stuff around with it, an the door trims were more stuffing around but mainly because mine is an ea i don't think it is as hard to do with the eb/ed's

yeah its looking pretty good at the moment and always seems to get people attention when driving around.....keep ya all posted

[oneredED]

Mate, that looks feckin fantastic. Love the wheels (I'm not a fan of that syle usually), I agree the 18's were too small. Far out, sweet car mate

[burnt turtle]

mate very very nice car, i like wat uv done with the rear garnish, the bigger wheels fill the gaurds way beta
very sexy looking car i really like the way this car looks

[eafalcon6]

hey.. niice paintjob! and niice bodykit too, really like the skirts' n the rear bumper. i think i need to get some,just have to find them though.
Very nice car

[Kyle the ED4LTR]

so the bodykit is called a scortcher body kit, where u get it from, looks fucking hot!

[pHaT`eL]

Yeah, the Scorcher kit is pretty neat, its only front/rear bars and garnish though. Those side skirts are MMM without the door pods by the looks of them. Im sure someone on here knows the place where Scorcher bars are made.

[scorcher]

thanks guys, i am happy with the way it has come up...
i will try an find the email address i have for the bloke that makes the kit from scratch...
my computer has had it and am using someone elses so as soon as mine is going again i will get some updates going

shaun

[91ebxr8]

i like that colour! how much the spray worth? how long it take etc

[scorcher]

i did allot of the work, it took a week and a half and cost 3.5g

[speed.freak]
