Default One of my new cars

Hi guys thought id finally post up some pics of one of my new cars. Had to get it looking a bit nicer first, so here it is:
Cobalt Blue ED Fairmont Ghia
2.5" Zorst
King superlows in the back and king lows in the front
AU 2 XR rims to suit eseries
Genuine clear indicators
AU clear side repeaters
12" kicker sub running on the stock amp
Pioneer headunit
Ive pulled the pinstripping off and removed the 4L badges and the ghia badges.. looks better imo :

My plans for the car is to fix up the minor body imperfections and maybe a few little things here and there, and probably keep it as a 2nd car.

Hope you guys like it.

I'm going to pick up an E series ghia.. love that shape, and miss it. Be fun as a project/second car. Anyone got an E series ghia ? V8 preferably ? ;p

Looks awesome. Hope you get many happy years out of it. I'm sure you'd want to do something about the security system after what happened to your last car.
