Nice car mate, I'm sure I've seen you cruising on St Georges Road before

Keep up the good work, the mods sure have come along quickly. Red's a great colour too.

JAKHMR · 08-10-2007, 06:21 PM

Thanks Bobman yeh I have been on that Rd a few times.... what are you driving?

Just an old Mercury Silver XR6, no spoiler, lowered etc. Goes alright, they are nice cars to cruise around in. I have driven each model of Commodore & Falcon and find these to be good cruisers, just need to upgrade my sway bars though, don't like the body roll

JAKHMR · 09-10-2007, 06:38 PM

Yeh Im saving up ATM to do the same thing along with some new shocks and a bush kit.
Do you know what you are going to get?

Bobman · 10-10-2007, 02:11 AM

Probably a whiteline front and rear, see what price I can get them down to, I wouldn't pay anything more than 180 for the front anyway.

Bush kit sounds good too, might see what Nolethane offer. Koni shockers might be the way to go too.

Whiteline 30mm front... You will find that the rear is not needed. Do the front first, and see what you think. I have the 30mm front and it corners beautifully.

Bobman · 10-10-2007, 11:51 AM

Thanks ORSMT, I'll give it a go first

Exactly right Kev. I too have a 30mm front (different car though) and it handles beautifully

. I opted for the nolathane bushes too...

Yeh Stevo, that was then, this is now......LOL.....

..........it was also time to buy a couple of new tyres to go along with the recent additions.
So i went for Pirelli P-Zeros on the fronts.
And swapped the front SP9000's I already had to the rear.
Car is driving great now and just saving for the sway bar and the new shocks.
Stereo update coming soon! :disco:

Fev · 27-11-2007, 01:55 PM

Sorry i never replied about the headlights, its alot of work but thats mostly just taking off and replacing the front bar. heres a link to my write up for it.
Pretty Simple job really, just tedious and time consuming

Looks nice Jack

gcg2503 · 06-09-2008, 11:01 PM

Got my car detailed by them when I was last in Melbourne

Answered my question

Frank did a fantastic job on my Fairlane - will definitley be seeing them again

My dad refuses to leave the car cover on my car - he cant be bothered taking it off when he starts it eveyr few days

Apparently she is very dusty after 6 mths

Sigh.......

gcg2503 · 06-09-2008, 11:04 PM

Looks great Jack

Frank is very passionate about his detailing! Had my car for nearly 2 days and wanted to keep going detailing her

JAKHMR · 07-09-2008, 11:59 AM

Yeh I think I will be getting another boot.
After seeing it without one, it gives it a different appearance.
I still like the spoiler though.

JAKHMR · 07-09-2008, 12:18 PM

Here are some day ones for now.

Jeeepers · 07-09-2008, 12:23 PM

Nice finish mate. What was the sting for the detail?

JAKHMR · 07-09-2008, 12:38 PM

Just over a Grand including all the items that Bud has mentioned, some spray painting and brake fluid changover.

Jeeepers · 07-09-2008, 12:49 PM

Oh ok. Silly me, I thought you just had a detail. I knew you were gonna get those things done, but I didn't know Autoworks did it all. As I said mate, nice work. Looks ORSM Jack.
