Ahh.. whats Tims car got to do with it?

dikyby, stop signing in if you dont want to be here, you dont need to wait for Sunny to delete your account!!

i wouldn't tint the tail lights man, every attempt at tinted EB/ED taillights i've seen looks horrid.
the stock tail lights are pretty dark as is.
i don't mind the garnish in black, probably prefer the grey, but white seems to be able to pull it off.

car does look tuff as on the whole, good job.
you thought about doing EF/EL fuel filler door?

Cheers to all for the compliments

I have been told that getting them tinted professionally is way better than the spray can because they put a shit load of clear in the tint so it has a glossy finish to it compared to the matt finish the can gives. Also havnt thought about fuel filler door.. What is it lol??

EF/EL doors are smooth, don't have the finger hole bit.
i dunno what has to be done, from memory gotta upick the hinge assembly from each and fit the EB/ED assembly to the EF/EL door.
it's a little touch but cleans it up heaps.

Lol sounds like a bit of work. My aim is to keep this the way it is now it's how I've wanted it for some time now the only thing I'm gna do to body that's left is ba buldge but that's way down the track. Thanks for the idea anyway

Cheers

For those who have eb/Ed Xr6s I just want to know does the lever to open the bonnet lay out on the grille if so is there a way of making it sit flush inside the engine bay without cutting it???
Cheers

who even said he was painting it white? he just put a black one on??? hrmm
and to HYPOEB i painted in 2pak black, cant remember i think its a vy commodre color and finished it in clear

matt!! you need some better photos of this thing coz it looks shit in these pics, they do it no justice compared to real life!!! congrats on getting this far with it.. next, im seeing turbos?

Thanks mate,I mite give it ago on a spare garnish.
The EL fuel flap is a good little mod to do,It just never seems to colour match perfect though.

U took half the photos man lol

yeah exactly ther crap u need prof ones

Lol Sunday I'll wash car and post more. Btw guys I have a redback exhaust not a redneck exhaust sry If I offended anyone lol

Saw this tonight awesome car! Very very clean!

Cheers snyper urs is nice and clean as well

ef / el fuel filler panels still have the finger pull in them. you would have to get an au one to make it work. the shape is the same, but not sure about the hinge. my ef has the finger pull in it.

My el doesnt!

Hey snyper is ur bonnet hinge thing sticking out of ur grille??

Im gathering your meaning on the XR front?

Yea sorry, is there a way to push it back without bending anything??

I cant remember I think we cut 20mm or so off of it. So it was easy to open.

Ok cool cheers mate

dikyby, only the wagons have the finger hole. EF/EL have a nice flush filler flap

Ok guys after some time I hav just taken pics of interior it's all original leather/velour with woodgrain door trims(no way am I changing interior or selling) as u can see I have customized the speedo and I have changed the interior lighting from yukky orange to blue;). U may not be able to tell but also the front dash panels gve been sprayed with metallic grey and clear coated so it will always have a clean look to it.








Also guys I was looking at the Xr grille I put on an I thought something was missing. I added some mesh to the grille tell me what u reckon. I had to leave a hole so I could get to the bonnet hinge tell me what use think

mesh looks pretty good. is there a way to relocate the bonnet catch lever? the hole for the lever just ruins the effect. be good if you could set up a different release for the catch...

Buhh??
Doesn't bother me I'm used to it now, until there is research on how to do it I'll leave it mesh took 10 mins to do
Cheers

Here are some with the interior lightS



If u can't tell that's the where the gear stick is

And this is my speedo which is hard to see they are white lights which emitts blue looks awsome but it's a shame u can't see it

Should buy the manual conversion I have for sale

Lol how much do u want it for??

400

Nah mate too much for me cheers anyways
Not really considering a Manuel yet anyway dnt have a Manuel license

Thread Needs more



"Manuel"

EL series 2 wagon's got a flush fuel door that bolt straight onto box cars without the need to modify it. Rare to find tho but I got lucky.
Also you can modify the bonnet catch lever so it sits on top of the grille with 2 pairs of locking pliers,just put two bends in it,one up and one flat again. Adjust the bends till it opens nice and sits nice. Will take ya 5 minutes to do it and you wont have to have a crappy hole in your mesh!
Car looks good too.

Thanks devlxr I'll look into it on weekend
Cheers

No worries, you can see what I did in this pic...

Yea that's good idea. Mate u gve a clean ride man fkn love it:D
