Hey all,
Yet another Aussie member on board, thought I'd share my pride and joy with you.
Bought it back in 2007 in a sorry state, but a good basis for my first restoration
First job on the cards were the typical mods- lowering 25mm, clear guard indicators (from a 2005 Ford Falcon), clear front indicators, sound deadening the wheel arches, and of course respraying the infamous TX3 rims and calipers
The paint was FLAKING every time I washed it, so as a 20th birthday present I got a bare metal respray in Ford Velocity Blue. Door jams, boot, everything done minus the engine bay
(I chose the TEXXXY plates as it's a TX3, and it has XXX appeal I hope)
The usual stereo upgrades were added, which makes 135dB. Kinda loud in such a small car :D
Next on the list was a set of ROH Shift R rims, 205/45/16" tyres and darkest legal tint
Meanwhile I was converting all of the lights to blue LEDs
(Note the custom gauge surround I made)
Standard TX3 dials sanded back with white LEDs and painted needles
Got a FREE Mazda GRX bar with intercooler cutouts, perfect for my next project (Worked Mazda BPT conversion)
I added my own custom power windows with Holden Commodore switches mounted in the centre console
When I got my front bar resprayed, got my garnish colour coded too (top half needs smoothing)
