Anyway here are some pics

Early Days of the car

Latest photos

So there is the car so far, there is a few gaps in there , but i have a build thread on the ford forums.

Looking forward to a respray, rebuilt motor (maybe a roller cam 351), ed xr front (i just need a grille),Kenny bell super charger and some FR19 simmons

Looks nice, man! and Welcome! :thumbsup:

What happened to the wheels you had in the first couple of pics? IMO they looked sweet. Definitely set your car apart from the rest.

by **lwrdxr** » January 28th, 2011, 10:14 pm

The simmons were au offset and had rubbing issues, the ajrs went to a member on the forum, got tired of them and always loved the gtp style.

FR19 simmons are the next wheel i will put on the car

welcome to boosted!

by **lwrdxr** » January 28th, 2011, 10:37 pm

thanks mate, i had a 1994 green nc like yours, same wheels and a 5.0l, was a good car

by **EF ECTIV** » January 29th, 2011, 1:49 am

Love the look of the car in the first pics... gold rims looked mint... still looks the good now though.

by **Commando** » January 29th, 2011, 9:14 am

Wow. Looks great!

by **Ech0_** » January 29th, 2011, 9:25 am

Looks very nice. Can't wait to see her with a blower!

by **pHaT`eL** » January 29th, 2011, 10:22 am

Love it mate, been following the build on AFF! Your AJR's went to a great home too.

by **travs ea-xr6** » January 29th, 2011, 10:59 am

welcome cam!,i love this car

btw check out my build thread and you can see how your old wheels look on the ea :grin:

by **lwrdxr** » January 29th, 2011, 11:20 am

Thanks guys, yeah I saw your thread trav. Car looks awesome with those wheels.

by **kocho** » January 29th, 2011, 12:02 pm

this car is mint:) i reckon it would look better if you colour coded the bumper

by **Joshe94** » January 29th, 2011, 12:13 pm

Love it!

by **lwrdxr** » January 29th, 2011, 2:04 pm

Well I thought about it, but I am putting an ed xr front on and colour coded looks too much with this colour with the xr grille. Still might do it though.

by **EB_Ghia** » January 29th, 2011, 2:06 pm

looking nice..
eb's look nice with a kit and sunroof.

nah i reckon leave the grey as it breaks up the slab of red.
im considering removing the colour coding on mine as i think full colour coding on cardinal red doesnt look right and needs another colour to break it up

by **lwrdxr** » January 29th, 2011, 8:17 pm

yeah i agree eb ghia. If it was balack or blue or silver yeah, colour code it.
But too much red is not good. I saw the eb ghia in the for sale section and it is coded red with the xr front.

by **LOW_XR** » January 29th, 2011, 8:25 pm

looking good cam. looks like a nice car! :good:

by **josh_ef** » January 29th, 2011, 8:27 pm

mint

welcome to the forums

Looks good mate! Big fan of them first photos without the kit and gold wheels :good:

Looks neat mate. Only thing I'd Suggest to make it look cleaner without going OTT is painting or dying the Grey strips Black

by **SnyperEB** » January 30th, 2011, 8:18 pm

Nice car. Welcome!

by **XR_Lightning** » January 30th, 2011, 9:41 pm

looking mint dude! i prefer the 1st wheels to the gtp's, still looks tops though!

by **Dumpsta** » January 31st, 2011, 6:17 pm

Sweet car man! Love it! Except the fact you went from a 4.0 to a 5.0...

Forget fr19's now that you can get fr20's... check out the fr20 thread to see my point.

by **pHaT`eL** » February 1st, 2011, 4:34 pm

For a cruiser, nothin beats a 5.slow!

by **lwrdxr** » February 1st, 2011, 7:00 pm

Yeah i agree with Phat EL. i changed it to get the v8 sound, i am looking into an ed xr6 later this year to put boost into and get some silly HP number out of it.

by **Taara-lee** » February 1st, 2011, 10:45 pm

Good to see you joined after meeting you the other day when getting the intake =]
Car is looking good in the bottom few pics! :grin:

by **SKDSTA** » February 1st, 2011, 10:48 pm

Good to see you on here Cam.

Car looks great in person too.

Good luck with the rest of the build

by **Nikk O'lass** » February 2nd, 2011, 7:08 am

looks fantastic, if your going to colour coded it, add chrome strips to the mould and window surrounds to break it up. :-)

by **Ford Bear** » February 2nd, 2011, 3:50 pm

Ahhhh ! Finally found you on here man ! I have seen this car parked over at northland few times now and was in love with it when I saw it ! Had to go up to it and have a look round it :mrgreen:

Do you live round the northern suburbs?

by **lwrdxr** » February 2nd, 2011, 4:13 pm

i live in the inner eastern suburbs. Had a few comments when its been parked, glad you like it, really appreciate all the comments from here guys. So looking forward to the all ford day now.

by **Phoenix** » February 2nd, 2011, 4:55 pm

looks veeeery tidy mate. like it with wheel sets one and three, not so much the ajr's. veh naice!

by **braad** » February 8th, 2011, 1:50 pm

Awesome looking car, did you keep the OM's despite their offset?
Colour coding will look schweet if you keep something to break it up a little

by **lwrdxr** » February 11th, 2011, 5:44 pm : **Eb Barbie Likes this post**

ok newest addition, ED XR front grille and lights.

Just in time for the all ford day.
