Hi All,

Viper Alarm with remote start.
And the Best Bit
Rebuilt Motor with forged pistons and all the other goodies

I dunno about the ELGT grille, but that's a f**king nice ride! 530nm @ 3500rpm must be orright

Yea the grill has always been one thing i wasn't 100% happy with, i have the standard one but i think they suck, what i really want is the Tickford Fairlane Grill but can't seem to find one. Even Ford has kindly discontinued them so if any one knows where i can get one that would be great. Included in pick is my other car 98 Fairmont Ghia, full stock except for the rims

Two very nice cars you've got there. The Fairlane, of course, is especially sweet and I'd be keeping the EL GT grill but that's just me, i like them.
