My first car!

[ShadowGT]

It may not be a 911 turbo or a 599 GTB but for only $1000 i'm happy :)

 

I bought it today off my dads mate. I don't have my full license yet so it will be my learning car till i get my license.

 

 

It's a 1993 Ford Falcon Fairmont. It's got all the niceties such as electric windows, Cruise control, keyless entry,Alloy wheels , the only thing it don't got is a CD player(Radio/cassette FTL)

 

Sorry on the crap quality pics but it was 8:30am & i only had my phone camera(sleep deprivation+crappy camera=bad pics)

For anyone thats curious here's a history of the ford falcon in Australia.

Nice one, i love Fords, but i'm more into english fords. But my dads friend has a Tickford Falcon XR8 and a Tickford Capri and both of them are amazing. Make sure you take care of it. Are you going to do anything to it (in time i mean)?

[ShadowGT]

I'm not a real mechanical person so the most i'll be doing (for the time being anyway) is installing a CD player & hanging some fluffy dice from the rear view mirror (Gotta have the fluffy dice ^_^)

 

but Ford builds it's Inline six's pretty good anyway so i should beat most Jap crap "Poser" cars off the line in a drag anyway should i choose to do something like that ;)

Do you have GameStation in Australia? They do fluffly dice with Super Mario Mushrooms on them ^^ :excited:

OMGLOL :eek_blue: What's with the spoiler on the the roof? xD

[Andreas¹]

Congrats on your first car there, hopefully one day I too will be able to get one :D

 

And I don' think it is anything wrong with those piccies?

[ShadowGT]

Now that I've had the car for about a week I've noticed a few flaws.

 

front left brake pad is worn, Air conditioner needs re-gassing, drivers side electric window gets stuck sometimes, window washer is broke & some interior lights are blown. Least its all stuff that can be fixed :)

 

It was still worth it though for only $1000

[Guest RB26DETT]

1000 x 40 (exchange rate) = 40,000php. OMG THAT'S A CHEAP CAR! It costs as much as 2x8800gts's here! hahaha!

[mac_mogul]

Congrats on the first car!

Looks like it needs a little TLC though haha. Time to bust out the wax and polish :P

[eleKtro]

Nice car mate, you pay for it?

 

And I was expecting to see a picture of a Pontiac Fire Bird :p lol

[ExplosiveGoats]

Nice car good shape.

[HavockJoker]

congrats mate. I'm aiming for a '01 Audi S4.

[ShadowGT]

:D I added a boot tip spoiler to my car today. Found it at a wreckers & they are pretty rare. I'm not a big fan of huge tuner spoilers & think they make cars look cheap but i think this add's a bit of class to my car.

 

(Yes im aware it dosnt sit 100% flush with the boot but i am gonna fix that)

*Edit*My god i look fat in the reflection of my car lol

[Andreas¹]

Don't you worry about you looking fat, everyone will look at the car :D Looks sweet :D

[ShadowGT]

That spoiler looks nice, it fits the car's shape very nicely. Did you have to paint it to match your car?

 

Also your car is really clean.

 

Thanks :) i Gave my car a good wash before i put that on. Also yeah it was originally blue so we resprayed it red. I fixed it & now it sits perfectly flat with the boot :).

[ShadowGT]

Yay i got some fluffy dice for my car today! :)

[Guest RB26DETT]

that's pimp yo!

 

post pics of it including the interior! i want to see!
