Thought i should do the right thing and introduce myself properly to everyone.

My names Michael most people just call me greco or little greco if you know the other one. Moved to Cairns from Silkwood with my brother last year and I am currently studying a diploma of science at JCU before later on moving into town planning.

I'm the proud owner of a white 1996 ford ef futura and a not so proud owner of a silver 1997 ford laser.

Anyway heres a few pics.

Car looks awesome up - close, well done! How does it run with the fresh rebuild?

What % tint has it got? Also, were you hooking down Trinity today by any chance?

+1 for stay with the two tone Black over Grey - unless you are planning to go with black carpets?

Cheers
