Such a good looking cruiser, and done with such good taste.
Glad you got walls again

i like the new look pete, height is perfect now. spewing i couldn't make all ford day to see it in person !

cheers

Hmm don't even think ive said how it looks yet! whoops
Looks great with the polished ghias and flappers! and do like the new grille look too!
Hope your happy with the polishers job on the wheels!

Looks awesome mate. Wouldn't mind parking mine next to yours

is that a chrome sticker under your number plate or some polished metal ? looks good

Looks good as Pete, next time I'm down in melbs we should get a pic with the Lane and the Wagon

Cheers guys!

psychotic-angel, its a piece of stainless polished up. Contact waghoonEF if you want one!

cheers for that

Looks the goods now peterT!

Looks mint dude, LOVE the ghia wheels and white walls! Did you buy the tyres with the white walls on them??

He bought flappers

Yeah, these are whitewall inserts. First set ive seen around with the 2 colours aswell

Love it mate, think i might lower the lane the same height as your wagon

Well the new look was short lived.

On our way to the AFF mini meet Friday night, travelling along WesternPort Hwy at 90kmh, an old guy pulled straight out in front of me and stopped giving me nowhere to go. I tried to swerve to the right to miss him, but took the front off his car.
He walked away and Beth and I spent Friday night in hospital. I was discharged yesterday morning as I only had a puncture wound to my leg and general soreness, Beth is still in getting scans and xrays done, so hoping the car come home soon!





Car will probably be a writeoff, not too sure I want it fixed as it will never be the same.

sorry to hear pete, glad to hear u guys are ok though, all the best!

write oiff for sure sorry to say.

hope u both are ok and everything is clear with beth.
ull find something else to make ur own mate.
make sure u list what was done and really put out that it was ur pride and joy to insurance my mate got $9500 for his ed xr doing that.
cheers josh.

Fark. Bet you were a bit sore after that. Hope everything is OK mate.

Bloody Hell.

Old Farts and cars, not a good mix. Should be mandatory testing from age 60 upwards every five years IMO.

The main thing is that you both will survive. A car can be replaced, but you and your loved ones can't.

Cheers

That's not good at all mate. All the best to you and Beth.

That'll buff right out.

Hope everything's OK now. Another angry 5.0 wagon?

Yeah, Im at the point where I know itll be a write off.

Im just starting to feel epic sore in the chest from the belts. I got the airbag, Beth didnt (no passenger one) so the next car will have to have a passenger bag and be a wagon. Probably look at AU2 onwards wagons.

taking that step eh pete.
such a shame given how much you cleaned it up.

sorry to hear about the accident mate, devastating. hope you both got out okay!

AU XR wagon maybe next?

theres a 5l au wagon on carsales cheapish haha.
cheers josh.

El high series have dual airbags?

Sorry to hear mate.
Hope all is well!

that sux mate... glad to hear you're both doing ok; as they say thats the main thing...

Hopefully the cops ping the old fucker.

Regular drivers are way more dangerous than any hoon- at least we're paying attention.

Me paying attention saved his life. If I didnt swerve, he would of had me in his driver door at 90!

Went and had a look at the scene yesterday. My brake marks start about 5m before the intersection, thats how much notice I got.

Spoken to Shannons, it will no doubt be a write off without them even looking at it. Was only insured for $4k, I thought it was more, but at least that can go towards a newer wagon.
Will head down now and get what I can out of it at the holding yard.

$4k certainly isnt bad from the ol' EF.
hopefully you can pick something up for a decent price.

MAN! So sorry to hear about the accident! Glad you're all ok though. Sucks that such a mint wagon is no more

If you dont mind me asking though, where did you get the black/white flappers from??

Got em from ebay.

Ill probably buy the wreck back, so will have a few things off it up for sale like wheels, tail gate, moulds, venetians, interior/handles, LSD diff and front suspension.

Scrolling down the page and my heart sunk seeing that first pic, real shame mate she was looking real sweet.
Hope you are both doing ok.

Good to read Beth is all clear now. Scary shit.

I've only had 2 bad experiences with old people accidents. One resulted in death. I really think at 60+ people should have a (subsidised*) driving test every year, and only be able to pass with medical approval.




*be cheaper on society than the accidents

pete that sucks man:*(

but im glad to hear you and beth are alright. hopefully you dont cop any on going injures later on.
a shame about the car.


from an insurance point of few yer its a wright off. but repair wise new panels and bar and replace the uper rad support or just pull beat the thing out, paint and your back on the road with out anyone knowing besides the ones that have seen the pics.
but really id take the doller and run.

AU Fairmont Wagon + all the goodies from the EF... Ghetto Stance AU on EL Ghia's lol.

Sorry to hear about the accident mate Glad to hear you both are ok.

Hey pete,

just saw what happened. glad you guys are ok but a real damn shame what happened to this wagon. personally i think it was the best fix up you have done since i have known you. it was clean with tasteful tweaks.

no doubt though if you get a newer car it will look as good or better (if you go down the same mod path as the EF).

tc

that sucks balls mate. atleast your both relativly ok.

Its game over.

Apparently theres something in Shannons Insurance policy about buying wrecks back. Unless you pay the premium for it, or the car is older than 35 years old, youre not eligable to have the wreck back.

The car will be auctioned at Pickles at some stage. Hope someone from here buys it!

That's shithouse. I thought half the reason for being with them was you could do that easily.
