It's definitely a much nicer car than the poor old EA in the garage. It's very smooth and comes up a treat when it's clean. That makes 7 cars in our family at the moment, 3 are owned by Damo ;)

That looks sweet as Damo! NExt to black red is the best standard E series colour.

Go the black stockies too, it will look tough.

Hey Jared, I don't think it'll be going up to Heathcote because it's not registered yet. It should be on the road by early next week though.

It's pretty nice, I got to drive it this morning :hihi: Well, by drive it I mean move it out of the driveway so I could get mine out. hehe ;)

It's got an unregistered vehicle permit, but that only allows you take it to and from the mechanics and not on the freeway.

ok this is what need doing -

windscreen and wipers
Handbrake
Both Front tyres (got them fitted today)
Centre Exhaust (got a quote of $120 fitted from exhaust fix but that was for standard exhaust, so it will probably be more like $150)
Bonnet Struts
LHF tierod
Adjust front wheel bearings
LHR wheel bearing
Both lower ball joints
LHR number plate light
Parker lights
Right brake light

I'm just gunna get the place to do the ball joints, tierod, bonnet struts and windscreen. So it shouldn't cost too much.

Sick.

They didn't pick on the rotors, parcel shelf or gas so that's alright. Wipers's worked fine from what I saw, don't know what they're on about but they're not that dear anyway.

Bobby has a set of balljoints for sale, so you might want to get 'em off him and have them fitted. Other option is to get some knuckles out of a low kay EF or EL from Just Falcon's or something, that'd be about 25% of the cost of getting some new ones fitted but obviously new would be better.

Wheel bearings aren't that dear either.

The mudflaps were removed last night. :P They left a few marks but still looks heaps better.

I was surprised they didn't mention the gas too, when I asked him about he didn't even realise it was there. lol.

"Nah mate I didn't look in the boot"
