Was going to do the XR moulds tomorrow as i'm off school early but saw tonight that some complete F!@#%&ING RETARD C$@%#T has sideswiped my car.
Results are as follows:
-Rear bar ripped off on the right side, and major crack
-Rear Quarter panel is completely stuffed
-Bottom of rear RHS door is warped
-Rear RHS door handle has come a bit loose
-Side repeater is in pieces
-And to top that all of there are scratches all down the RHS, apart from the front quarter panel, as the front wheels were pointing inwards thus prbably stopping the other car sliding along mine much longer
I am so pissed off right now (hope i am allowed to use that). I feel like selling the car but im not going to because i love the FALCON POWER.
So on the to buy list atm are all those parts plus:
AU side repeaters
WHITE SMD LED reading light globes
Blue interior light
Blue anodized pedals
Blue LED parker lights
Clock

Will post pictures of the damage tomorrow...

[DaBlow]

some pics of the damage:






That mould i took of to start on the xr moulds...

Picking up some turboblades saturday
have ordered the following:
-Clock
-Blue parker lights
-Blue dome light
-SMD LED white reading lights
-and a set of AU clear indicators

dam dude that sucks man...tell who ever did it stopped??

[BROCKYB8]

Thats shit . But lucky it is a eseries . Because the rear bar will be cheap to replace and same with wheel.

no insurance as its my first car and im on my L's. who ever did it didn't stop but i wanna go out tonight an "have a look around". it was probably a local because the street it happend on is one that almost only locals take.

Im picking up some turboblades on saturday. rego is due soon so ill wait for those clear indicators, zip-tie the bar and chuck the turboblades on to get through the pink slip.
was thinking a sprint bar but i'm on a almost non-existant budget. the only reason im getting turbo blades is cause mum parked the car on the street that night after i parked it in the driveway so she agreed she would pay for damages.
anyone interested in selling me their rear bar?

[weavahhh]

that sucks

[DaBlow]

Picked up the turboblades, drove the car around for another month and a half the way it was but with the xr moulds and turboblades.
added the following:
-Blue dome light
-Blue parkers
-Ice blue bulbs
-Clear side repeater
-Clock
But last week my mate (dogie456) was driving with a trailer hooked up when a car slammed on the brakes in the wet infront of us. he followed, front wheels locked up, and the trailer pushed us into the car infront's towbar. Damage is as following:
-Bonnet
-Front bar
-Front bar support
-Radiator
-Air con thingy
-and headlight glass are all stuffed.
Not having much luck with this thing!!!
the car was stripped then picked up by a wrecker for $150.
Dogie456 then kindly donated his car but its out of rego and theres a short somewhere because when connected the battery won't hold charge...
Bought a new battery terminal today in the hope of cleaning up the wiring (millions of accesories added)
Disconnected everything except the starter motor, sound system and alarm but now it just wont even turn over
Tomorrow i will go through all the interior wiring as Dogie also pulled his DVD player and screen out today.
Will post some pictures of the two cars soon

I had this problem with my car when i first put my head unit in, so in out could be the same thing. took me about an hour to figure out what was going on.
If your car has smart lock if the cd player is out car wont start. I just used trial and error and figured out what wires connected together let me start the car.
I cant remember of the top of my head but im sure some one around here will know. If not i can have a dig around the back of my head unit for ya.

its a shame you dont live in victoria. i have a perfect white ed rear bar that i would give you for nix to help you fix it. at least parts are cheap for eseries cars, so shouldnt be too hard to fix. good luck with your build.

cheers dickyboy

Thanks heaps mate but yeah as i said i got Dogie456's EBII s. help like yours is much appreciated though!!!

[EB_Ghia]

late ''92'' eb2's (september on iirc) have smartlock

iirc theres a power wire for the smartlock that is on the radio wiring. it probably has been forgotten to be connected.
forget to connect it and it will refuse to start.

so just get a wiring diagram and check everything..
