Sucks to be a detailer never have the time or cbf doin your own but when you do makes it worth the while

im happy with the result...
Also heres a pic of my lane and Matt's LTD (NOT MY LTD) NYCRYD-Nice Ride

by **NL_CONCORDE** » April 24th, 2010, 2:57 am

OK so here's the latest some wog reversed out just after i parked up i heard this crunch
look up to see what i always feared hiace van hit my rear bar bent it chipped the tail light
guess i'll be gettin some quotes sat/tuesday
although it crumpled his rear quarter and thankfully for me his got full comp

by **Josh L** » April 24th, 2010, 3:23 am

Ah sh!t Joel! Careless mofos... van drivers always make me nervous... except when they're not in vans.

Well... where ever it gets repaired... be vigilant when it comes to quality. Take it from me, being in the panel industry, e-series get treated like arse when it comes to body repair. Mainly because they are a turd of a car to get good gaps on.
The chrome moulds are no longer available, so there is an aftermarket one used but it doesn't have the same smooth angled finish that flows with the rest of the mould. We have masked off the existing chrome in the past and repaired the painted section.

I hope it all gets repaired without a hitch mate.

by **KR1STO** » April 24th, 2010, 9:16 am

fukk... no good man...
that shit sucks...
fukkin dickheads...!

by **EFFalcon** » April 24th, 2010, 9:31 am

by **jazza312** » April 24th, 2010, 5:28 pm

the fairlane and ltd look awesome. very jealous, they both have sunroofs!
just one question coz u or some one else may know... is there such a thing as a df ltd ghia?
i ask because there is a car at work with an ltd badge at the back and a ghia one on the boot lid with an ltd bonnet thing and ltd grill... the thing only has a velour interior tho...
just wanted to know if it is actually an ltd, like maybe very first df or something or if its just a fairlane with ltd badges n shit...

cheers.

thanks mate, thats what i thought. but i remember seeing another "ltd ghia" a while ago so i thought maybe they gave that name a go for a little bit. i didnt think they existed either but this car puzzles me all the time... if it was an ltd it would definately have leather seats wouldnt it?

by **MINT-8** » April 25th, 2010, 2:20 pm

All DF/DL LTD's come STANDARD with Cappacino leather. Although, I have have only TWICE seen the 'optioned' LTD velour trim.
Very nice, but still there is no such thing as a LTD Ghia.

Cheers ;-)

by **NL_CONCORDE** » April 25th, 2010, 3:49 pm

Thanks for the feedback guys...
Yeah it does suck and when you hear him say "It's only a car" does hurt
well i do have a few panelshops in mind but as josh stated
most will just do a quick job..
So i'll be goin to SUPER FINISH in moorabbin as they deal with all our BMW's
Webby's Panel shop on Waterdale road
and a few other higher end panel beaters

And dont want any aftermarket parts fitted
even if parts are sourced from the wreckers
but at the end of the day it wont ever be the same..

by **BROCKYB8** » April 26th, 2010, 8:21 am

I would also speak to brighton panels in moorabbin mate. They mainly do Audi porsche and stuff like that .
They always seem to do a awesome job

by **NL_CONCORDE** » April 26th, 2010, 10:43 am

Yeah as long as their within distance to get to on lunch break but from memory there on south road
Need atleast 2 quotes anyway from memory (just hope it dosn't get put a side and make me wait 3 weeks)
and ive decided to buy a rear bar so i know i dont get cheap aftermarket and mismatched chrome inserts

So will remain like this on aff day

by **KR1STO** » April 26th, 2010, 10:47 am

i dont think they ever made aftermarket fairlane rear bars mate...
there's not enough people wanting em....

I see your point mate..Thats just incase they find the chrome extension setion and makes it look mismatched.
so i'll just be buying a complete rear bar and having that resprayed will talk with whoever sprays the car to quote up the rear bar as its pushed n creased it bit closer to centre. Also not too mention i told him i'll move mine forward to create less damage but he continued to reverse and has warped the edge also..
Must get a daylight pic

by **SnyperEB** » April 26th, 2010, 11:22 am

Car is looking good these days mate. SHame about the dickhead backing into you!

by **SLY5LT** » April 26th, 2010, 11:36 am

last time i priced the chrome strip's, they had the rear one's

it was the front & some of the side one's that were no longer available :glare:

Thanks Steve...
Still its creased the rear bar so im guessing bar and beaver panel and supporting clips paint and time
So thought i'll source the bar as im fussy with what goes on car

by **NL_CONCORDE** » May 30th, 2010, 12:32 pm

Well finally the rear bar will be gettin done on the lane at Mckinnon Smash Repair's on North Rd late June..
Last nite fitted up some new rotor's and wheel bearings thanks to Matt n Kyle..
The NL now brake's without severe vibration then goin through ringwood last nite got pulled into do a random breathe test past that.. Then some hippy in a epa suit tells me to park my car he then comments on how low it sits to a Police Officer. Who agree's then goes over to grab his height clearence wheel at that point i fit the sls fuse turn on the ignition raises the back end cop brings his wheel over to check for height and it cleared.
So i escaped a defect
But the epa guy shown me how loud my car is as 90dB is loudest
rev's it to 3,500rpm hits 101dB but blow back coming off throttle sent it to 105dB.
Current Setup- Extractors,hi flow into a 2 1/2" auspac system that has 2 hi flow mufflers
So a stock system will go on to clear this matter..For a while

by **NL_CONCORDE** » June 2nd, 2010, 11:48 pm

Latest is the gas on the lane is backfiring and blew the airbox apart so im now thinkin of
selling the ltd buying a cheap daily taking the lane off gas and get some form of forced induction

Hey Joel, my offer for swaps on the LTD for my grandpa Futura still stands!

I am just about to get it sorted as a nice daily too!

by **NL_CONCORDE** » June 4th, 2010, 12:41 pm

I've spoke to the other 1/2 and would prefer something different to e-series sorry ev

Would a small green Honda be out of the equation?

by **mint-8** » June 6th, 2010, 10:55 am

Hey man,

Would you be keen on returning the DF too stock, and consider selling the exhaust system too me??

I have a DF too and am after a 5ltr exhaust. 8-)

PM me with your reply bud.

Cheers, MINT-8

by **NL_CONCORDE** » June 10th, 2010, 12:16 am

Well it got the better of me and i decided to fit up the LTD wheels to the lane and this is the end result
