I was just interested in what people think of upgrading from a ED 1993 Fairmont Ghia, with better then average mag wheels, lowered, mp3 cd system,
to a 1997 El Fairmont Ghia, with SVO bodykit and lots of little extras. the car has a website http://www.fpv666.com/index1.html My future plans for my car, was to chuck on a Eb Gt bodykit which is sadly sitting in my shed, waiting for some love and care. Is the upgrade worth it? |

if you get the el i'd be cleaning it up, ie. all badges, stickers, get it lowered. apart from that it looks nice!
got any pics of your car? also how many k's on both cars?

Depends on price/condition, but generally speaking YES it is.

Has potential with all the stickers removed/car badged, boot spoiler removed and some nice shadow chrome 19's/lowering job....

It's your call mate. There are cheaper EL Ghias out there but then again it comes with extras which would naturally bump up the price a little...
Don't expect a great resale rate on the ED though mate. -Dave- |

8k is cheap. I'd buy it.
EL Ghias are the best E-series you can get. except for EL GT

What kinda power does a el tickford 6 cyl put out?
i know any kind of figures i get at a 1/4 mile test, would be fairly low due to the extra weight of the car, with the kit, and ghia extras, does anyone have an idea??? Would i be looking at much engine work to slap on a turbo? Are the tickford engines sorta ready for slapping on turbo kits?? |

Hi,
I am the owner of the EL FPV666. I have just joined the forums and will get involved over some time. Nobody seems to like the stickers hey! Anyway, she is a beautiful car and I just want a new toy to play with over the holidays while I am kid free. She is currently listed on eBay. Item number: 150072124334. Cheers, Daz

Turbo kits can be bought cheap, labour will be big $$$ though if you dont install it yourself. Non-tickford engines are probably slighlty better for turbo applications (lower comp i think?) but if running low boost theres probably nothing in it. |
