Those were taken a day or so before it was sold in June 2008, replaced by the XR6. I sort of did a few Tickford things myself with that car, adding the spoiler, 17-inch wheels, Momo gear selector with Ghia woodgrain/chrome surround and a blue Momo steering wheel.

Keep in mind, I was 21 at the time and still learning, as evidenced by the swirls in the paint.

I even managed to get an XR6 VCT/Fairlane exhaust tip from my uncle in Ford spare parts. That was a $120 part at the time, but I didn't want some tacky off the shelf Supercheap exhaust tip. Was probably my favorite addition while I had it.

It was all about keeping the car OEM looking, a trait I still follow today when making changes to cars.

Nice car, that colour red, Barossa i think you said? Might look into that when i respray the 95 LTD it is an original Cardinal Red but i do like this one
