You're leaving the e-series owners club, Tommy? So much for modifying the EA! By the way, have you fixed the ED bumper, or the door for that matter? I agree that is a nice looking AU, even though I must admit I've never been a fan of that colour either. Good luck with you new purchase. Hope to see you bring the AU on a few e-series cruises!

Nice - I'd leave the badges, but definitely lower it a bit. Welcome to the late 20th century!

Welcome, happy to have another join the growing ranks.
I dont mind the colour at all to be honest, but the XR badge is a bit much. Either way, looks like a good car, enjoy it and have fun. Maybe sign up for the Heathcote drags in Jan and remove its "virgin" status. ![]()

Needs the authentic full Tickford kit (re sideskirts, etc)....it'll sit much nicer. Seems those XR's (even the real ones) without the full kit don't look as mean..??

Nice car. I'm astounded with the black interior. I thought all Forte interiors came in any colour you wanted as long as it was grey!

My suggestions for it would be:-
Full AU1 kit including biplane spoiler with top level painted black Carbon Fibre Centre console area, leave the rest black MOMO wheel Leather seat skins (can get them new from Ford) More oomph

black interiors actually did come with the series 1, one of our family friends has an au series 1 since new and it was an option to get black if i remember correctly, but i dont think they advertised it in brochures etc...
