still undecided on what plates to get, got any ideas anyone?
Ive found the white steering wheel ill be getting, getting it for a bargain too because it has a little glue mark on it that you cant see save $300 on it.

Looks awesome mate. Grab some clear repeaters off ratman, they would really set it off.

YAY, you got the interior done, you have been working on that for the last 12 months

Worth the wait, love how you have matched the carpet and inserts on the doors, alot of ppl have the door interior all white and leave the carpet black, makes the carpet look out of place but you have done it right................

More shots of the back parcel shelf, nice work there!

And you have gone Turbo, looks TUFF!!!

Is this your daily driver, where were you ALL FORD DAY, you would be a contendor for best EF EL

Nah they are for EL as well, apparently some EL's have the same side indicator/repeator...........

If your one is the triangle shape like in the pics in that thread then they will fit and by the looks fo your pics they are the same and will fit............

Yeh money was the problem with the interior but now its all coming together.
I was hoping to have the interior back for the all ford day but i only had the beack seats back by then, so i missed out, theres always next year i suppose.

How do i get those indicators? PM or something?

yeh the cooler is mounted and all the piping in at the moment, the rest of the turbo gear is in my house waiting till I decide on ECU, ill get the injectors and 3 inch exhaust tomorrow and order the oil lines from snort tomorrow aswell.
not enough time in the day lol.


and yep its my daily driver, ill probably never sell it either, modified cars arent worth selling. ill get a xr6 turbo within a few years or something else that tickles my fancy
