Well thanx to a post early on in the debate, redbook.com.au I have found out the following.
1982 TE SL 4 door sedan 5 sp 1.6 was produced in 1982. I think this is my car. Note I said THINK!
TF SL was released March 1982. 5 sp 1.6.
Soo we are all wrong. Mine is obviously a bloody TE ! hahahaha. Well a lil bitta info for yas all anyways 
Oh and PAUL ! I am a SHE not a HE ... just so you know :Þ
I wil definantly have a closer look at my plates when I get home and check this out.
What was the sense in releasing TWO models in the one year. Sheeeeeesh ! |

Hey Cam,
Two models appear in the one year when one is replaced - eg your TE may have been built anywhere from Jan-March 1982, but then the TF was built from March 1982 onwards.
You'd know if yours is a TE by checking several things. For a start, the tail lights are blocks with a brake light up the top, and reverse lights and blinkers down the bottom. All bumpers are chrome with a rubber strip (no strip on base models). Dashboard is the same as the TX-TC-TD model, but with different instrument cluster. The front fenders include indicators, and the grille is composed of think slats and a small, red and silver Holden badge.
TF and TG models are almost identical, except for the differences described in my previous posts (TG front on TF SLX and TF front on TG base models - confused?).
Basically, the best way to cease all arguments is to open your bonnet and check the silver plate affixed to the firewall.
That will say whether it is a TE, TF or TG - it will also include the build date (month/year) and will also list some codes on it.
Then you'll know.
The book I've got is pretty accurate, and I've confirmed the dates printed against other data I've seen in my travels, so I'd bet this info is spot on. I don't trust a lot of internet sites, even if they are very matter-of-fact.
This is exactly the type of confusion my compendium, when complete, will clear up. It's going to be 99% accurate and an extremely good resource for enthusiasts across this site - I've just got to finish the bloody thing......
I'm working on it....

Yeah, I know you're a she, not a he...weren't you the dilusional one who started that whole "Women are better than men" post?? I guess I just didn't look that far back in the TE/TF/TG/Whatever it was post to see who wrote the original message.

the only difference that i can see between the two is that the earlier one has SL written in big letters accross the bottem of the door, there might be a few other minor differences though

Its a TF ! 3/82 is the plate date. In the garage it was a lot harder to see.
IT IS OFFICIALLY A TF ! It was still sold and advertised as a TG. Lame asses ripped me off  haha |

| You're not the only one - my mate's TG was advertised as a 5 speed. It said 4 speed on the gear shift, and it certainly was a 4 speed. So where's fifth? Reverse is a gear, said the guy.... |
