Smile My AU1 XR6

Hey everyone,

I'm new to the forums so I thought I would post up some pics of my new car and say hi.

Picked the car up 2 weeks ago for $7000, and what can I say, I couldn't be happier with it.

Anyway here is a pic, I will have some more as soon as I can upload them, dial up is kind of slow.



Also I spotted a silver AU driving down Burwood Hwy in Ferntree Gully about a week ago at around 10:30 at night. Had an aufalcon.com.au sticker on the rear quarter window. Hi whoever you are!!!!!

$7k? A nice clean car, good work...

The trouble with the forums is that you'll soon want to have another $7k put aside for modifications!

Anyway, welcome!

Well with the money I saved on the purchase price of it, I have a spare $3000 to spend on mods. First thing I'm looking at is a brake upgrade of some sort.

Looks very nice. I like white AUs a lot these days.

Nice....Tickford series 1 XR 17" rims are the best. Looks like it has been lowered a little as well?

Looks very tidy man, and $7k is a bargain

Yeah it's been lowered. The exhaust is a little too low though.

Ferntree Gully 'eh? Well mine's not silver but make sure you wave at any burgundy TS50's ;)

Looks like a great pickup for 7k too!
