White is an awesome colour IMO. If it was mine...I'd get a DARK tint, lower it, and remove most of the badging.

I'd then go exhaust/cam/tune. Then higher stall converter (is auto?), and 3.9 or 4.11 and LSD in the rear.

Then swap out the front seats for some comfy sparco/recaro/whatever front seats, remove rear seat.

Fit roll-cage to stiffen chassis, upgrade suspension to race spec koni/bilstein/ohlins or similar.

Upgrade fuel system to support....

Turbo

NOS

Then I would probably just drive it around and enjoy it for a while

Convert the bonnet, headlights, rear lamps, front bumper, rear bumper, side skirts to EF Fairmont standard and it'll look sweet, lol.

But please, don't put the Fairmont rear chrome bit on the back of your car. Belongs only on the Fairmont I think.

How much money do you have?

Change the front to fairmont or XR, the EL low spec grill i don't like, either that or replace it with fine mesh. Roll ya guards get some EL XR skirts, despoiler it if you have a spoiler. Debadge, lower it with Superlows, respray the car one color, of if your adventerous, from a blueprint nose to black body with the transision a flame effect. Maybe even a subtle pearlesant paint?.

Get the engine, rebuild it for turbo spec, add turbo, wire up aftermarket ECU. Upgrade fuel pump, upgrade trans or at very least get a stall converter that will suit the RPM when the boost will come on.

Then do a custom black leather interior, Screens in the dash and in the rear roof. Do a boot install, perhaps 2 12" with a big amp in the middle of the panel. Add fairmont ghia interior goodies.

Do small things like interior strobe and disco ball, custom lighting to show off boot install etc etc.
