Stretch the budget

I HAVE a 1994 ED Falcon that I like. I have had it lowered and fitted 15-inch mags. The problem is that it is an auto, and I would like a manual. I have been looking for similar models that are manual and I think I would be able to get an EA/EB 88-90 for about $3000. I was wondering if you think it would be worth doing. Could you also put a rough market value on my 220,000km car.

DON'T do it. Your ED has 220,000km on it. That puts it into the elderly class, ready for the scrap heap, so any EA/EB you might find is likely to have even more on it. Remember the EA was a bit of a lemon when it was launched -- it was the first model in an all-new Falcon line. The EB was better because Ford fixed a lot of the EA's problems, and the ED was better again. Try to stretch your budget to a later model, and get your manual that way. Your ED is probably worth about $5000.
