Well is dosn't happen to me very often but i've had a bit of luck in the last few days.
Firstly i was given an EA fairmont, which is not in bad condition apart from the rust in the sills.Its on gas and runs fine and i have some ed xr wheels to put on it,off my wagon. Then today i was at the wreckers and found some sprint side skirts and a rear lip (i can make fibreglass ones but a real one is still better). The side skirts cost me $30.00 for the pair and the lip on a bootlid was $50.00. The plan is to clean the ea up with the wheels, cover the sills ( and rust ) with the skirts and put a front and rear spoiler on it and then just drive it so i can put my wagon away and not drive it as much. Just a question but does anyone know what that ugly thing on the ea intake snorkle is for or can i piss it off and put my ed one on it. Fraser.

That ugly thing on the snorkel i snapped off the other day for fun after putting my XH snorkle on..
When i snapped it off i noticed it seemed to do nothing at all apart from look ugly, although there are 2 smallish holes it covers.. i have no idea why its there..

yeah i have a cracked out here, the only thing i csn think of is air turbulance to mix up the air abit, but when it hits the filter it will slow down and be rather pointless. i too have no idea why its there

Yep, its a resonance chamber to reduce the intake noise. Wont really affect performance removing it though

these are pics i took today,wheels i already had of my wagon.all up to this point owes me $100.00.
Runs really good and is on gas, just need some lower springs as it handles like a boat.I might end up giving the whole thing a cheap and nasty respray in the same color in stead of just painting the bootlid and side skirts as the color match would be s**t.

looking good, my sujestion is find some front and rear skirts to match it in a little. by the end this will be your new daily
EDIT: i know this will be but i ment perminantly, not just while you pimp your wagon |

yeah i can make the front spoilers so i'll be on to that this week as for the rear there was one on the car that the rear lip and side skirt came off but i couldn't get the damn thing off so i'll keep looking or i might be making a mould for one soon.
