Do the system, put a cam in it then flash tune it, and I think youll forget all about the bodykit! :

Try Heinrich performance or Bill Towler automotive for the tune mate. Heinrich is south of adelaide and Bill Towler is north of adelaide.

KPM KPM KPM KPM .. wait a minute thats just the voice in my head stuck on repeat after All Ford day.. but you could try KPM. They seem to get good reviews.

Looks like a good pick up on the car. Our club founder has Ghia v8 too, and its pulls pretty hard, same basic mods. I think the rims on it make it look pretty good actually.

1st mod - car wash! Nah, JK looks very nice. Has a great stance, I wouldn't change a thing externally.

Nice Fairmont mate. I have a 75th Fairlane. What options does your Fairmont have over a standard one?

Cool, quite similar to the features on mine. One funny thing they did was delete the Ghia badge on the fenders. They put 75 badges on the C pillars instead. I think this was a nod to the old '70s Fairlanes.
