Might have seen that advertised recently.
Love that tickford bodykit and those rims.
Does it have the black or grey interior?

HUGE upgrade from an EB. All the ghia luxuries & a decent 5L to boot.
Going from a white car to a black one will keep you busy in regards to detailing.

Very nice. I remember seeing the EB when i was in Adelaide the year before last. That EB was nice. AU looks great as well. Top colour too.

Must admit your EB looked pretty damn clean.

5L mont GHIA ... nice indeed ... loks like it has the Tickford suspension as well ... and the factory kit too.

Warm Charcoal Leather interior is the goods as well.
Hope you are enjoying the new vehicle ... the GHIAs are wolves in sheeps clothing.

I like your E-series. The chrome wheel arches look terrific on it. Have you done something in particular with the rear lights as well? Nice AU also.

Yeah i put a bit of custom chrome on them, Ill tint them later aswell as fill in and smooth out the back garnish and paint it black .

As for the EB new things are happening it will be turbo'd and the AU will be super charged when I have some money.

My dream car used to be a black AU1 Fairmont Ghia with the tickford 17's and a tickford kit. Looks great, but I reckon ditch the spoiler and put it on some ultralows, it'll look awesome!

Congrats on the purchase.
