.. yes its taken me Barry Whiteen ages to do anything and post pictures up, here's some for starters.. Here it is pretty much standard, apart from front chin spoiler - made from 1988 Mazda Capella.. Which has been somewhat narrowed and then "plastic welded" - Aka Soldering Iron and lotsa sanding Then I scored a set of these of a dude with a Racing Firenza, Ironically I gave away my previous set of rostyles to Prozac, a couple of months before I bought the car.. These rocked around the boot of my car for ooh I dunno, 6 months.. Finally got arse into gear and went to Elite Wheels, "3-5days" 2& 1/2 weeks later came back 13x7" Which were then promptly delivered to Action Powder coaters (aka another bunch of good Mrs Funt'maRunts) Here they are just before I painted the black outs.. Gots me a Drivers mirror, and some "fresher" sunvisors that actually work - Cheers Gaz/Gaz's Missus, and Burntrubber got some Window Winders that arent broken lol More to come..

Got Speedo - but no rev counter - just some big Barry Whiteoff holden logo instead lol Yea my bad thought was TE cause of grill, but now found that TF's have this front as well 1984 its registered as..

If I'm correct it would be a TF sl the TF slx had the same front as the TG and had in dash tacho etc. TE had park lights in the grill where the TF sl have indicators even though the grill is simular I actually like that grill the best one has the round headlights imo.

will check out my gemini pages i photocopied from the holden bible i borrowed from the libarary. Has all the specs for each model, even tells you what some of the numbers on the ID tag stand for for example my wagon says M70 or some nuts on it which means 5spd. Gana translate my other beasties digits when i remember. Will type up the article on my aticles thread in Tech shop anyway, interesting read.

Wheels look sweet man, you reckon they'll rub at all if you lower it?
Profile looks better than expected. What's that lip from?

1988 Mazda Capella Coupe, Cut and Shut it, and then whipped Soldering Iron out (melted join together) , little bit of sanding and then bolted on..
Plan is to lower it, stiffer springs and better shocks. Wont be as low as mikuni's, but basically Near 1" clearance from top of tyre to guard lips if that makes sense??
Got some nice rear springs, and hopefully these piazza shocks ("lotus handling" ones lolol) Might tax front piazza springs also..
Cheers,Chris
