Bodykit isn't my cup of tea, but paint job is AWESOME!
Still, can't comment on it half done. Be good to see it when it's finished.

Love the colour Jay, but lose the front and rear bars. They are WAY too bulky and it makes the car look kinda "rushed" if you know what i mean. Something a lot more subtle would look ace, especially in Phantom.

I'm glad someone has some is living on the same plain of reality as me :P

There'll be no removing bars, although I will get the rear bar modded to be lower and flow better with the skirts (making it even more bulky I suppose)
The skirts are too fat (and phat 8-) ) to have some piddley little front and rear lip spoilers - and the skirts and colour is what is unique about it

Sideskirts are on!

Image

Still haven't got the little spat bit that goes up the rear arch. A few of my mates last night reckoned it didn't need it, but I think it sticks out a little too far at the back to go without...

Image

I must get those stockies off the back today!

Yeah that looks good eacruiser, but unfortunately the BA style spotties won't fit in the holes in the bar, nor are they the right shape.

I already have the mesh, and I'll be putting that on shortly ( I have to remove the front bar again to fit the HIDs and paint the radiator surround which is still white)

That chopped grille is pretty close to this shot I posted earlier (and in my sig). I'm still trying to work out a way to have the grill so I can access the bonnet release lever in behind it.

I am not too sure on how your bonnet release lever looks, but on the EA you should be able to reach it if you attached the grill to the bonnet, instead between the headlights and bumper.

I would say weld a small plate around the grill sortof like this
_ . . . . _
\______/
and bolt the grill to the bonnet.

If you have a welder you could bend the metal and then weld the grill on and paint the outer plate body colour.

Then when you pull the release in the car you can put your fingers under the grill to release the bonnet.


- The spotties were just so you could get an idea. If you find some round ones that fit you can give the surround a quick mod to make them look like smaller BA GT copies.

If you know what i mean.

the bonnet release on an EF is JUST below the bonnet.
so essentially above where the grill will be placed.
unless the release is bent or a fairmont one used, the grill would need to be attached to the bumper.

Ahh, OK.

Sounds like a real head F#@k then if you want to customise the front.

Couldn't FORD have thought ahead as to what people might change and make it easy for us.
