It's been over a year since I sold my beloved 5 speed EA to another forum member and since then I've been driving round in a BA wagon (which is for sale so someone bloody buy it!!!!) and most recently a Holden Combo! : : : :hihi:
Anyway, I've copped enough sh1t about driving the Combo so don't feel free to add anything here. It's a work car and with 520km for $44 a fill I can't complain :P To get to the point, I bought Felony's (Dave's) crapped out EF Falcon that's been for sale for a while. There really isn't any point to posting pictures cause it looks pretty ordinary at the moment. Faded red paint, white front guard, no indicator etc. But on the plus side, it's only got 138000k's which is good for a '95 EF and the interior is mint. Plus it's all original inside which is what I wanted. Nothing worse than buying a car that has had every wire tapped into and trims removed and replaced 1000 times over. I'm all about keeping interiors factory styles these days. The plans for the car are to keep it as a bit of a sleeper. First thing to do will be get a RWC then respray it in the original colour which will be a piece of pi$$ because red is a solid colour. A bit of lowering and some Gli hubcaps will complete the look then I will go nuts on the motor. I've already got a T04B and a EMS ecu which are in my avatar. I'm still collecting the other turbo bits and pieces but am not in a huge rush to do the turbo as I've got a million other things going on atm. But it WILL BE DONE! |

good work mate - but don't be so sure it's not work posting a pic of how it is now. Trust me, it'll be cool to look back on once all the mods are done and it's looking slick

haha thanks guys, no I'm not the one that broke Sunny's mirror! Sunny was parked across from another car in the street and some tool in a EA squeezed through but mis-judged the gap and went too close to his mirror.
Due to popular demand I'll get some pics :/ It's nothing special though. |
