so what are your plans mate, I like the interior, very classy.

ORSMAU · 26-09-2008, 05:34 PM

As most people know I received my number plates on Wednesday

Also a few weeks ago I changed my indicators

I'm currently in the process of changing all my interior lights to blue pictures will be posted soon.

Very nice pick-up Johnny, a perfect base to start from. Gotta love Ghia's with all their fruit, VCT, IRS, leather, Premo sound etc. With usual suspension/exhaust/wheels/kit mods, you'll have a perfect car, luxury and sports together.

ORSM-XT · 01-12-2008, 05:07 PM

Hey mate,

How did you go with the blue interior light? I just realised I have also got a blue one to go with my green.

Are you still on the L's? If so when do you get your P's? I'm on my L's until April 29 next year. I've knocked up 130 hrs.

Cheerz,

Cheerz,

Hey mate, brought the blue lights last night so hopefully by next week they'll be here and I'll post up pictures.

There only old pictures should put a new picture up with my stickers on it, I'm on my P's now I got them in September. Good luck getting your P's I'm sure you'll have no problem considering you have clocked up 130 hours, I managed 125 hours.

Regards John

Looks like you've got a Ford fan across the road with the EF.

Nice ride too.

That's a maybe for now Jack it depends on what time I get home from work and plus it won't have my wheels on it yet.

I reassure you that its nothing special just rims and lowered.

ORSMAU · 25-04-2009, 03:37 PM

Here are some updates with pictures,

Firstly are the springs from my car being lowered.

Then my rims that were from my dad's BA, decided to go with a different colour to have the car stand-out a bit more.

Then the cleaning began for the Easternats Show, just a little before and after shot.

Before

After

**MR_LON** · 25-04-2009, 03:57 PM

ORSM-XT · 25-04-2009, 09:08 PM

BLACK RIMS FTW!!

Cheerz,

eaglesfandavid · 19-07-2009, 09:09 PM

lovin the look of those rims
are they meant to be black or did ya paint em?
if so howd you go about doin that?

ORSMAU · 19-07-2009, 09:39 PM

Had them painted mate, they were orignally on my dad's BA XR6 Turbo and he gave them to me and I had them sprayed black as to have a difference look to the car while still having orignal ford rims.

Thanks mate

Can't wait!

ORSMAU · 20-07-2009, 09:19 PM

Either can I mate been a long time in the waiting.

ORSMAU · 06-11-2009, 10:24 AM

Well finally we have some progress, its only taken about 6 months or more to purchase but I finally have my TS50 Bodykit. Started to fit it on Sunday to see if it all lines up and its a pretty good match now just waiting on the brackets and than the fun will begin when I start rubbing them down for paint.

The car should be complete in 2 weeks hopefully all ready for the Numurkah Show n Shine

ORSM-XT · 06-11-2009, 10:38 AM

looks great!

it actually matches the wheels atm. Cant wait to see it done

frd906 · 06-11-2009, 11:01 AM

mate, did you have any problems with the gaps under the tail lights,
when you close your boot lid does it rub on the kit??
did it align up properly??

anyways nice car as well, cheers matt

Hey Matt,

Haven't fitted in up fully yet still waiting on brackets so when I put it on I'll let you, as to it lining up properly it seemed to be fine but until I do it properly I won't know.
