thanks i got a really good deal on it. it was a haily and was covered in marks and had a bit of rust in the boot.

so i got a detail done. it spent over 6hours under lights and its come up a million bucks. just got the rust removed, under warranty of course. and it goes fantastic as well!

nah, as far as my research shows, the series 2 cars didnt come with side skirts. im gonna go see if i can pick up the tickford kit for it... when i get money and negotiate a deal with NRMA that allows me to modify my car in the slightest.

oh, and i just got an AUII Futura Classic and that does have the side skirts on it, as far as i know it came that way from ford. but i guess thats because its a "Classic" and they have extras?

i just put a set of new tires on it.. im a bit strapped for cash, so 700 for a set of Fulda's is cheaper than 500 bucks a tire on a 17inch rim... plus i want a set of 5 lol. when these tires run out ill buy some new rims.

Nice pickup, very clean and the Fairmonts are a great start for mods.

Re sideskirts, all AU3 models had factory ones but on AU2 the only models to have them were the Classic's, S-Packs and XR's etc. Fairmonts didnt have them.

And in regards to your insurance, I would check but I had my old car insured with NRMA and they were fine about mods. The only thing you couldnt go messing with were stuff like turbos etc etc (although for a price im sure you could, i just didnt get that far) and camshafts were the main no-go stipulation.

Check with them, but you should be fine to do stuff like exhaust, lowering etc.
