Default It's been a while.....

Just a quick hello to those old timers that remember.
The black VCT has gone to the great wrecker in the sky and been replaced with a white series 1 V8 Fairmont Ghia with leather, premium sound and every other option in the book. Its ever on BBQ fuel. Felt it was time to enjoy a something civilized. This one is a lover not a fighter.
Of course a set of 19" rims, red back exhaust and the odd tweak happened in the first 6 weeks of getting it and I am sure it won't end there.

GK, the list of mod plans is long and distinguished. Once in the blood.......

This one will never see the pointy end of a 1/4 mile though, it is for the road only.

All in good time my friend. This is a different build to the last one though so nothing extreme.
No build thread for this one either, just the odd update.
Headers, edit, guard rolling and lowering are a given. The rest all in time. The Windsor 5.0 is a world of opportunity just waiting to be explored.

Hellz yeah it is! thats why i have two of them... and tried to buy a third for my ute (but missed out)...

The main idea for these types of cars is for the simple pleasures, more so than over the top modifications.

You've seen the pictures Whoosha lol. As soon as I work out how to upload them from my tablet I will post a couple on here too. In the mean time just think of a white AU ghia. Pretty basic stuff :-)
