Looks nice, but it needs the front bar too. Also some bigger wheels would set it off nicely.

I noticed the passenger side vent has been reversed, are you linking it to an airbox?

Looks alright, I hope there is more body kit coming though, it looks a bit out of place on a otherwise stock falcon.

Sorry don't like the scoop at all.. Vents are more subtle but the scoop.. Just can't get into it..

And in the top pic I feel sorry for your P/S pump. I hope thats not full lock?

not a huge fan of the centre scoop/bulge on non-V8 cars, and like the others have said, lose the driving lights lol.
with a bar/skirts, big rims, and dumped on its *** it'll look sweet.
more people should mod wagons.....

Yes, Nebs wagon is an example to all wagon lovers.

I sincerely hope that lowering is on the schedule mad_ed_wagon.

It's all about progress guys.
I'm sure he has big plans for this wagon, ED is a great starting point.
The EB GT bonnet scoops/vents give a fatter look to it so the rest of the car needs to suit, kind of like mine with GT bumpers but no wheel flares, my bumpers at times look a bit on the big side.
Being a wagon, you'd be best off making your own side skirts, then perhaps buy some wheel flares, gt front bumper. all fairly cheap on the AWC (site sponsor) web site.
All the best, big plans take forever if you dont have the money straight up.

Don't like the EB GT decals, but the rest of it is coming along nicely. And what's with the golf cart?

Unless you changed the car to suck air through that centre scoop, it is just wrong when its not a V8.

But once lowered and body kit with vents it would look really sweet, recess the driving lights in further, hanging them out the front like that always looks crap.
