I just bought an el fairmont but not picture worthy just yet. Planning on binning the el xr8 or ftr's whatever they call them, that are on it in favour of a standard wheel, thinking el ghia rims?
Then it'll get dropped on its ring, exhaust, tint and maybe sun visor for laughs |

My old ED V8. Was an auto, then a manual and then converted back to an auto again. Went very well indeed.

I'm watching it... If I don't get the EL that im looking at, guess i'm gonna bid on this thing..
Just scared with getting another povo-pack e-series (GLi) because I would end up modding it with GT40P Heads, AU Explorer intake, Thermos, ELGT/T-series headers, twin 2.5" exhaust, lowering, FTR's, XR front end, EF interior and the list goes on and on and on...

At least with mine it makes the right sounds and torquey enough but too slow to try make it fast.

haha... 12 slotters = good for burnouts.. lol :P
So what do I have to check in a V8 wagon? I know the common stuff like trans, engine, head gaskets, coil condition etc, but what else?
