Default jjj has a new ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well i finally got sick of the never ending problems on my EA falcon. So i decided to trade it in on, an immaculate 1 owner EL ford fairmont sedan with very very low km's. Got a 3yr and 3months warranty with the car so i don't have to worry about nothing. Here are some pics::



Cheers Luke

Yep she's stock as a rock. It's 1 owner vehicle who i actually talked too before the purchase. It was owned by a cane farmer at homebush in the country near mackay. It was his wifes car. He retired and traded it in on a new toyota camry sportivo v6. It also came with logbooks and the original purchase receipt for $39888 in the glovebox (dealer delivered december 1997). It's got factory tint windows, scotch gaurd fabric protection and rust proofing.

The only mod I have done is a EL GT air intake snorkel which helps her breath a bit better. I must say it's got alot more balls than the EA mpi i was driving.

Don't plan to do any mods, just leave it stock.

cheers Luke

Keeping it stock as a rock, can't be fu#ked pooring money into cars anymore. It's a fairmont so it has everything i need (comfortable, quiet, safty-ABS;Airbag, cruise, climate a/c, electric everything, trip meter, etc. ).

Cheers Luke.

I remember saying something like that when I traded my EA in for the AU. It was a family car for a good month before the mod bug kicked in lol.

Anyway it's a nice car. Silver always looks good. We've got an EL Fairmont Ghia and a very comfortable ride it is so I'm sure you're going to enjoy your's compared to the EA

i am actually considering at set of cheap 16in mags, don't reallly want to lower the car as i drive on alot of country roads which have enough bumps and dips you think your on an amusement ride. Probably a set of FTR 16in curved 5 spokes.

Cheers Luke.

If you only make one mod, make it the rims! Then she'll be one mean machine!

Excellent looking condition and great Km's, well done!

Well today i removed the black dust covers that sit behind the factory alloy 15inch (12 spoke) EL Fairmont rims, i also did the spare aswell. Quite easy to remove and cannot believe the difference it has made to the appearance of the car. You can see the disc and calipers with ease, they actually look like alloy mags now and not hub caps. Probably also will allow a bit more cool air to flow onto the brakes?

Cheers Luke.

Low K's mean there's plenty of driving left in this.
Got to love all the luxuries.
Good score & warranty to boot. ;)

LOL @ AUGZMK
And he just got the car..
Once you've got rims on you'll start to think how much nicer it would be if it was just a little bit lower.

Yeah i probably won't get those 16in FTR mags as the standard ones look ok now and they have new rubber on them. maybe in 40000km when the rubber's down i will consider it.

Anyone who has those fairmont rims should try removing the black dust covers, it looks heaps better.

Cheers Luke.
