Hey guys i was just reading some build threads and thought to myself why not do one of my own.
I started off savind for my car 3 year ago, but started looking, when i turned 16 which was a year and a half ago, i was looking for an EF/EL XR6, White, Manual, and Sunroof. I tell you there was nothing at all, i looked for about 6 - 8 months, there was only one which was on the forum but there where some things i wasnt to happy with. Due to me really wanting a car i started looking at alterantives such as the futura, GLI and Fairmonts, untill one day my Dad found me a 97 EL Fairmont Ghia with 149,000 on the clock. i Straight away fell in love with the interior. Within about a week or two My Dad, Girlfriends Dad Kevin (EVILEF) and my Girlfrind and I Flue up to Canberra and brought home my new pride and joy. I started cleaning it just about straight away, got off the freeway and straight to the car wash for a rinse. Here is some photos once i got it arrived home. ![]() ![]() ![]() Also Some Photo of what i have done so far. Wheels: I got my wheels from a bridgestone in thomastown with my good mate ORSMEF, we both were very excited as i was only 16 and he was only 14. I decided that i was going to get the 19" GTP rims due to i wasnt to sure how the cobra wheels were going to look, but i think in my opinion i choose the right one. ![]() ![]() ![]() After that i got my pride and joy lowered, springs from EL-0351 (Thanks once again) and i bought Pedders Shcokers all round. Heavy duty on the front. Also i got my windows tinted thanks to my oldest brother. Here is some shots. ![]() ![]() ![]() Just showing an over all of what ive done from start to finish. ![]() Thanks for your time and letting me join such an ORSM club. Cheers Troy.. |

Nice mate, my last car was a EL Ghia aswell, fantastic cars. I dont mind the rims but the fronts look really big in that last shot..
I did a couple of mods to mine, nothing to out there, but if you want some ideas then have a look here: http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=42595

Nice one Troy, cars looking great. Looks like a completely different car with the rims and dumpage.
What's next? Exhaust,stereo? If you want a hand with a new sound system, give me a buzz. I did mine myself and I'd be more than happy to help you out. Maybe dad can buy you all the stuff for Chrissie.
