Hey all just wanted to show ya's my 85 ET ,

I bought it in january for $500 on the side of the road in Chermside here in Brisbane ... it was sitting under a tree for 12 months the bloke said and it was in a real bad way , it had oil pissing out of it everywhere from the oil feed line into the turbo he said he couldnt get it back on so i tried for about 2 minutes and got it he was spewing! but then i drove it onto the tow truck and had it towed here to Goodna where i done the repairs to get it on the road. but anyways in the meantime heres what it has:

Rebuilt T2 turbo-(from Dexi) cheers mate!
Custom intercooler piping and intercooler from a ford capri turbo
pioneer head unit with 2 6x9s and 2 4" speakers that fill the holes in the back
2:1/4 exhaust from dump to cannon
custom fuel rail(not sure where the guy got it)
16" rims with 205/40 nankangs on it
sports wheel
chrome gear shift nob
aftermarket boost gauge
shitty silver and black looking foot pedals( on there when i bought the car never taken em off)
turbosmart type 2 BOV
and one hell of a happy owner!

Thumbnail tutorial added ; )

sweet buy man! kinda jealous actually. why can't i find good ones that cheap? looking forward to seeing some progress on this baby

yeah i love the car, it fuckin flys ! its boosting at 10-12 psi depending on what kinda day it is, if its cold i like to put it at 12 or normally i just run 10. but i forgot to mention i bought the wheels from toowoomba for $250, the wheel and boss kit cost 80 and the shift nob cost 5 from cashies, other than that the car came completly standard except for the piping and intercooler.. will keep yas posted on the progress

Looks good bro. This car fair hauls ass too, my standard ET feels pretty slow in comparison.

/salute the sarge

oh yeah hes earned his stripes !! now time for baby blue to earn his!

well did some shit to it this weekend, coloured the intercooler pipes and changed rocker cover to a blue one will have a pick in the morning for yas...

Sweet rims, man. Looks a bit high in the front, though...

And any chance of a more vertical shot of your engine bay?

yeah i know it looks shit at the front i dont know what happend there it was like it when i bought it, but im getting some springs to lower it, but as for the bay yeah i will take a few more

well i got some springs from Dexi and the guys at pedders are gonna lower it for me when i take em in ,they gonna doit for $230 with new shocks also my blue et is in need of some work i wanna get it on the road asap..
