Looks in really good nick... should go good once you have the good parts from the XG on it.

It could end up being a good project for you. It'll be a hell of a lot of work to get that front end back in shape though. It looks worse than my first accident in the EA.

Well I was with Gavin and Amanda when Gavin picked it up and i was suprised how clean it was for the price. It is an awesome Ghia and very smooth. I forgot how these cars feel like now after Lowering the LTD, once was smooth but now it is your typical LWB e series LOL. It was a great pick up Gavin and it will be a great replacement for the Ute but we will get the ute back in action in no time and then you will have 2 e series in a way. Think of the bright side Gavin, you are now an official e eseries owner and proud to have you aboard too mate. I just need to get some sticker for ya then it'll be sweet. The ute is only in hibination for now and will soon awaken and be stronger than ever LOL
