[needfordspeed]

should chuck the ghia wheels back on it. looked nice with em on.

[pHaT`eL]

Tyres on them are fooked! Hence stockies for the time being

[EFFalcon]

stockies are good for getting bogged

[Sunboost]

That whole taxi wheel look is stupid on anything that isn't a base model and yellow in colour.

[KR1STO]

You need these...!

Did you buy the wheels..?

Thought it was about time I updated this thread, not that there is much to update on.

Here's a pic from Boosted Charity Cruise 2011, rolling on stockies/flappas/dress rings.



I chucked Andy's wheels on for All Ford Day. Wanted to see if I liked them on or not and to decide whether to buy them off him. Would have preferred 20's but they still look alright
Entered the car for the hell of it but even though Sterling did a mint job of cleaning it, I was actually dissapointed with the car itself, I thought it was cleaner then it actually was so was surprised to win anything.

No more plans for the car other then just trying to keep it clean and decide on some wheels.

Here's a pic taken after the presentation at AFD yesterday:



And a few pics of trophy/car.

Big congratulations on the win, well deserved.
Can't believe they buggerd up the judging entries so bad.

[pHaT`eL]

Trophy says runner up 1989 onwards, but the winner was a 1980 model, so they will have to fix that

[SLO4LT]

they'd better fix it!! can't have a prize winner taking second place to a different categorized year car!
Also Congrats Beth!!

[EBOOST]

congrats beth but we need some side on pics to judge the wheels or have u decided u dont like them?

i think it looked good.
cheers josh.

[SLO4LT]

I'm in agreeance with you eboost! I like the stellas on it!

[Bipolar]

Congrats Beth

Thought I'd post an update here.
Drove the lane to Sydney and back at Easter time and it was a dream to drive. Got around 600+kms per tank which I was pretty happy with.

The times come to say good bye to the Fairlane and I'll be looking at getting a BA/BF Wagon to accomodate for the dogs. Will be sad to see it go, it's got everything I was looking for and has been a great car to drive.

I'll chuck it up for sale on carsales in a couple of weeks for around $6500-$7000 and see if I get any interest and go from there.

[SLO4LT]

can I rip a skid in it before you sell it?
not to put off any buyers or anything lol

[SLO4LT]

in all seriousness though good luck with the sale! If it needs a quick polish/wax before sale let me know
