Default niko's new elbox

picked this thing up mid through december. its a dec 1996 el series 1 fairmont, bog stock and it came with a stacker under the seat. its only auto :( but its quik I've been slowly cleaning it up. it got rego'd today

heres the best i could do for a low light carpark with exposure, and camera sitting on a buket

no laughing at how high it is! :p that might get fixed tonight and it didnt come with original rims, and i had these laying around with perfect rubber, so there staying for a while.

i couldnt resist and had to put my new foggies in!

Well mr inferno, there is not much difference between the monty and a ghia ;)

xr running gear depending on if it was optioned up or factory and depending on the series; leather seats, carpeted kick panels, wikid door trims aswell as premo sound. Things that i may update down the track, but for now im happy with the tidy intirior i have.

i even have a factory stacker, so not in a hurry to rip out the stock system as i atleast can listen to my cd's.

Bwahahahahahahahahaha! No I'm almost finished upgrading to EL spec interior, i have the woodgrain shifter surround and have sourced some colour coded buttons, going to leave the dash alone, I like the EF style lettering and black background. EL GT steering wheel is on it's way, also just forked out 1900 at ford to finish off my ELXR conversion.

just took it for a longish drive in the scorching heat, and found out a/c full ball (fan on high) the thermos kick in full ball, and slow down depending on how high the fans turned on and it stayed between L and A
