Picking up the new car next weekend. A 1995 EF Faimont with 230000 on the clock. Ironically it's the same colour, but that's just how things turned out... Has a few odds and ends to tidy up but nothing major. And mechanically pretty good.

First job: lowering.
Second job: redo exhaust, this time with resonator in tail pipe, so some fabricating will taking place.
Third job: 5 speed manual conversion

Sound system swap will progressively take place also.

Going to get two more el gt copies so then I have a full size spare.
Also considering the 20% tint again.

Cheers.
Sam.

Just taken the front super low springs and slotted rotors out of the wreck. Going to start taking out everything needed for manual conversion through the week as well as the rear springs. Took the exhaust off on Saturday.

Mate it's gonna be a relieving drive home when I pick it up this weekend. She's gonna look pretty sexy with those el gt's.

Is gonna be good to be back in behind the 4ltr. From having to drive a 2.8L lux, painstakingly slow...

You should have learnt painstakingly slow could be better for you, extra time to get passed all those guard rails on The side of the road, just an idea.
