Ok guys, I know i have posted alot lately, but its hard trying to find exactly what i want.
I dont think the whole get a EL Ghia and convert it to a manual is going to work out, as I will have used all my cash up on the car and conversion then ill be left with a stockish looking car, not on. So my other choice is to get a manual GLi or Futura and work it. But before i do I would like to know from anyone who has purchased the following items. 1. EL/EF Leather Interior - with or without door trims 2. Bodykit - tickford without the XR front, just the skirts all round or Full venom kit minus rear spoiler or GTO kit from canberra car styling minus rear wing (waiting for an email) 3. 3.45 LSD Thanks guys!

SSV should give you the prices for their kits on their website.
I'd say 1500+ for the ghia interior (thats what I'd charge AT LEAST if I was doing something with mine, which I wont ever heh) Not sure on the LSD

Oh sorry parts yes... i have just picked up a 3.45 geared LSD for 150 bucks but thats cos the housing was slightly bent and thats cheap. Expect over 500 for a straight good condition one from a wreckers or about 1200 to get your diff totally rebuilt resealed reshimmed and the 3.45 gears and lsd centre put in. As for the XR skirts i would be interested to know the price as well i wouldnt mind the kit on my car.

Ah i checked AWC's site and its roughly 700 for the xr kit without the rear wing.. pretty expensive yes but it looks good. too bad 700 does a lot during a turbo install

I still think you'd be better off finding an EFII/EL Ghia.
Do the T5 conversion and the cosmetics can come later. They look nice stock anyway. Better resale, less stuffing around.

I agree...but alot of them are over priced and have alot of k's.
Im looking at a manual EF with 150000k's, drove it the other day and its pretty tight.
