Gday Everyone

[ELDanny]

Gday,
My names Danny and own a '97 EL GLi

'Tis stock as a rock, and i'm the 3rd owner, and its been in the previous owners family from new, picked it up with 195xxx km's on it.
Just your standard 4L auto

Future plans include a full fairlane/fairmont ghia interior, massive dumpage, hoping 19" BF GT wheels (haven't looked into how to do it yet, also depends on price), xr6 bodykit and maybe some engine work

hey mate, welcome to the site. nice EL looks like the body work and paint are in good nick. looks like a few stone chips etc on the front bar?? but thats to be expected for age. anyway goodluck with the car and look forward to seeing some changes to it soon

[ELDanny]

lol nah they're mostly bugs
its been raining lots/overcast so havent been able to wash it yet, but there is a few stone chips on the bonnet, the protector doesnt seem to do anything haha

G'day Danny,

I'm new here also. That's a nice car you got there. Is the red as dark as it looks in the photos, cuz it looks pretty good!!!

Cheers

Daz

Welcome to the site mate!

Looks like a very tidy stocker there, hope you enjoy your time here

[wicksy]

take the hubcaps off and dump it, mate, looks like its in good nick anyways, welcome to the site

If I was going to go from scratch again, I probably wouldn't bother with rims.

[ELDanny]

DA22E, its Regency Red, and on the Purchase Receipt it was "premium paint" But yes i love the colour

In the long run I would like some 19" GT-P replicas, but soon i'll probably just get fairmont ghia alloys/xr6 or something along those lines. I'm only 17 atm and had an accident which inolved my foot getting run over by a moving car and scraping skin off to the bone, I havent been able to work so funds are tight. But first major modification will probably be alloys + dumpage

Cheers for the welcome guys

Looks like a good starting point. I agree - ditch the wheel trims.

[ELDanny]

Ditch the wheel trims? as in drive around with black stockies until i get rims?
TBH i prefer the hubcaps to black stockies, even though they will only be on for a week or 2 more

[ELDanny]

Thought i'd just do a bit of an update on the car
I've done a few mods here and there now so its worthy of an update (over a year later haha)

Lowered her with sl/ssl combo, 17" EL GT's, 2 1/2" Sports exhaust, window tint, electric windows, one of those variable shift kits, auIII clear side repeaters, fairmont velour seats (got em for free so i'm not complaining ) and a decent stereo setup

Anyway heres some pics




Cheers, Danny
