Don't you already have a thread?

Wings weren't on EF cluster - but pull the cluster out there should be a VDO test date tag on it, and also the make / model it's from. The background and font between EF and EL is significantly different. You can just change the fascia's though.

in the introduction bit yeah. doesnt go into detail in anything though.

when i get the car back from vicpol ill put a photo up. have been a commodore man for the last few years so im new tickford.

You always had those plates or did you buy em off someone?

by **markr154** » November 5th, 2013, 12:09 am

Those plates are gonna land you in some trouble..

by **Petrie** » November 5th, 2013, 12:10 am

Yeah bought them new 2 months ago mate.

They may do. But it's just an inside joke. Haha

Someone probably just bought EL Tickford cluster 'winged' faces and replaced the EF Faces, that's what I did ha

easier said than done, but i agree haha

by **SnipeZ** » November 16th, 2013, 11:30 am

How is it easier said than done?
It's quite simple raising your foot.

If you can't do that then why drive?
It'll be a lot easier when you're in a 3x3 cell because you fucked up.

That's why there is deca days and drags for.

Don't take what I said to heart. Just lift your right foot.

Cheers

Everyone has to admit though when young you did dumb things.

Hell my first ed ended up into a street sign at 80km/h around a round about, I don't condone street skids or anything at all but I'll never say I didn't do it.

Nice car mate

by **SnipeZ** » November 16th, 2013, 8:21 pm

Yeah that's right. Good old days. But yeah. No condoning haha. Learnt from it as I almost lost my license because of it. So that ended that

Scored A Fairmont Boot For the xr for $25,

has the chrome spear and number-plate surround, respray in heritage and we're good to go.

somehow figure out a way to change the fairmont F, and cut up a ticky badge to suit.

tossing up on wether or not to shave the boot lock.

by **LUVSIT** » November 20th, 2013, 5:41 pm

Looks nice with the old GT-P wheels on and number plates, clean and simple

Id personaly leave the normal boot on aslo

im thinking about putting them back on, unsure though as i like the ride of the FTR's,
i just think looking at the back of it its too plain for me, but its trial and error so if i dont like it ill just chuck the other back on.

picking it up from vicpol impound yard tomorrow morning, YAY! :drinks2:

by **SnipeZ** » November 20th, 2013, 6:28 pm

Yeah. If leave the xr boot there.
I didn't like the chrome on my fairmont but left it there because fairmont.
Makes it smoother without it

Cheers
