looks good with the whole kit on it now, rear bar suits it well.

was talking to a guy who lives in my area who has a few e series fords and on his 92 eb II he actually had BA/BF side indicators that are a better fit than the AU ones he reckons. did any one know of this mod? might take a pic next time im there.

I actually like the black EB Grill.

It looks right somehow and works well with the front bar.

I would be interested in seeing a pic of the BA side indicator on an E Series.

I think you have your AU ones in backwards.

To fit in facing front you have to mod the guard a bit behind the side strip.

thanks mate , here is a pic of the ba/bf side indicators on eb. cheers Mark.

got the exhaust tip extended out from under the rear bar at dandy exhausts.they put a 3.5" tip on.

some dickhead indian driver slammed into my car this morning, not happy man, rhs of car is f...d as well as rhs rear rim bit scuffed.

damn.. not good so soon after getting it looking good.

hope they were insured?

yeh the guy was insured luckily. iv been to one panel shop and they said it may be a few thousand to fix, and may be a write off. yeh just when i had the full kit on this happens, shit! plus its my daily so i may not have a car for a while. front drivers door is pushed in preetty bad and window only comes down half way. i can still drive the car thou.

Be shitful if it gets written off

agreed. its my pride and joy , put a lot of effort into it over the past 8.5 yrs iv had it. not many around any more as well.

new side skirt, pair of doors and some paint and she'll be sweet!

bort my eb in 2004 wid 184,000 on the clock... for $6200. fuk hate to think wat i have spent on it since then.! lol LPG GAS conversion cost me $3000 after getting a 2k rebate from gov. i have spent about 2400/$2500 on bodykit alone.

just found out that its gonna be a week until my car is asessed by insurance, still hope they can repair it.

Who are you through and what's it insured for?

im with AAMI but i only have third party insurance. the guy who hit me is with AAMI as well , luckily he is fully insured!

the reason i only have 3rd party insurance is because the car is not worth much market value and also im running spacers on the wheels , so insurance could knock my claim back because they are illegal in vic. just not worth paying $800 odd bucks for full insurance a year.funning enough when i first bout the car in 2004 the car was insured for 7k market value back then, but that was over 8 years ago.dont know what its worth now.

Mines only 5.8 now... Ghia big wheels kit and v8 it's so shit


Cheers

1. Get paid out
2. Retain the wreck
3. Get [D1SCNT] to fix it for you at a reasonable price
4. Profits x2

sounds like a good plan. well c what happens.

does any body know wat ratio is my L.S.D IN MY EB SERIES 1 FAIRMONT GHIA 302 from factory. it has been a good diff in the time iv had it, no troubles , but dont know if it was rebuilt at some stage from previous owner.

Some were 3.23 and i think a few were 3.28 i think not too sure on the 3.28

There should be a sticker on the diff saying what ratio it is.
Right hand side toward the brake backing plate


Cheers

Nope no sticker on boxcars. That is an EF/EL thing.

There should be a tag on a bolt on the diff hat that has the ratio stamped into it, and/or another tag on the oil fill bolt with the ratio and LSD warning on it.

Ratio should be either 3.23 or 3.27. I have seen both in 4l Ghia's so is a bit of a mixed bag.

Bad news re the damage.

As far as I know, as your car is insured third party, the other persons insurance company shouldn't have any say over if it gets written off or not.

Sucks big time about the damage

might be a good chance to spray door moulds white now with the repairs that need to be done. thinking of a full closed door respray while im at it in original stark white.

got some new rear tyres, went bit wider with austyre 245/30/20. picked em up in a place in dandy for 140 each. fitted and balanced.

Go Dynamic, it's shitloads better.

yeh true dynamic white in ef/el is much brighter ha.

dropped the eb off today to get assessed, apparently they are fixing it and paying me for one tyre which was damaged on the side wall in the accident. hopefully they do a good job reparing it.

Sucks to see it got hit mate, it was looking sweet. Hopefully when you get it back it looks even better than it did before

yeh hopefully it will look better than before, will prob get them to paint door moulds same color as car, to suit body kit. cheers Mark.

some good news, insurance sent me a cheque for $280, for 2 new rear tyres.one tyre was damaged with a cut in the side wall from the accident.i replaced one and bought a matching pair. the wheel has been sent away for repairs.plus win for me .lol

went to check my car today at panel shop. both rhs doors are in primer, ready to be sprayed tommorow.car should be ready by end of friday nite. will post some pics up soon. door moulds are being sprayed white as well.

I'm really glad they're repairing it - with the (lack of) value of e-series these days everyone just seems to write them off

car all finished and painted.

Looks tops dude. Well done


Cheers

thanks mate, looks so much neater with the door moulds all white now.

some more pics.. .
