Beauty mate, we'll have to do it again.

Airmon, congrats on puting the Fairmont through its paces in the corners, you did damn good mate!!!! George, that intake setup is sex on rims mate, it's a ripper setup you have there..!! It's great to get out on the open roads and let rip, always good to get it out of your system... Will have to think of another run now.. Cheers  :

I've heard that the front springs need to be done by a shop but the rears can be done yourself. I'll have to look into the tools I need. Spring compressor for starters.
I might start ringing around and try and find if any Suspension places have any left over XR springs they wanna offload cheap, or I'll just wait for someone to change their XR suspension then make an offer. Oh and a set of lower profile tyres with fatter rims. But that'll have to wait, just replaced the rear tyres.

Good to hear you guys had a great drive, and to hear you used the Putty road to its full potential considering some of your cars suspension setups.
Will be around 3 1/2 weeks before I get my car back, but I tell ya, its going to look HOT and PHAT, have rims sorted too. Cant wait for the next cruise and my car back in my hands.
