				Sundeep's Gunmetal Grey EL Ghia 5L

				Here are some pictures of my 1996 Fairmont Ghia.
I bought it as a daily back in November 2006, with 348,000km on the clock. Is nearing 370,000 now, and has been the most reliable car I've owned with the exception of a busted radiator cap or two. 
It's stock barring a set of Superlow Pedders springs, KYB heavy duty shock absorbers and a sports exhaust with twin dumpers.

				giffuct! 
 if a car can rip skids & do mad J-turns, and look sedate, then I reckon it's a sleeper
Kinda like that arab magna at Laverton

 By the time you get your license back you can have it sprayed and stroked.
