OK, here are some pics of it all together in the daylight.

Oh, and the EB handbrake is now history!!

I spent most of the day today, messing around with the hand brake setup. I have followed Barnacus' lead, cheers mate, but have made my own variation. It is all bolted in and connected up. However I have to work on the cable position and some fine tuning/adjustment. At the moment it isn't actually holding the car. When it is doing it's thing I will post up some pics.

I have a couple of errors showing up on the Climate Control and have a fair idea why. Something to do with bodgy wiring I suspect LOL. I will sort it out over the next few days.

Cheers
BenJ

Benj you have done it to me again like with the door trims i will get my mate to score me a NF/NL V8 lane or ltd then i will do the same, seeing it the other day when you turned up here to show me (was honored to be the first to see the work done) i will be going that way as well.

and if i dont get the GTO kit for my car im booking my car in for the rad support to be changed and i will put a EL XR front on her.

STOP it benj i am liking this and cant wait to do the convers.

The Race Is ON!!!!

Who can do it first LOL

But, you and BuNter are at other ends of the country, so it is highly unlikely the two cars would ever be seen together.

its already been done by a fordmod member if i remember right

and i know a guy on AFF did it when he crashed his eb and desided to put the ef front on it.

i am in no hurry as the first thing i want done is the NF/NL LTD dash first

Cool.

I don't want to change my dash.. I think the Ghia digital is great.. and I have a seriously modded center section anyway so I could get my DVD screen and 5x7" split center channel in. (I have 5.1 DTS sound in my car)

I know a guy that can sell me an EL XR aftermarket front bar for 350.... gonna get me one of them..

f**k mate awesome work, i've been watching this thread, and your others, for a while now.

i've always loved those seats that you have in yours, look much better than the EF ones! :lol: and it looks strange seeing that dash without the normal wheel on it!

also good to see how you are doing it all on a budget, that definitely ring a bell for me too! :lol:

Benj the plastic shroud around the wiper arms below the windscreen looks different. have you changed it for something else? something i was looking at doing but the holes dont line up in the ED model strangely.

Location: ** In the Shed! **
VIC, Australia

Lookin hot BenJ!

Now i have to make a hard choice, what model donor car i'm buying next! Bought an ED GLI for the 5spd conversion, now i'd love the EB/ED leather seats, and i would also love the ef/el door trims & mirrors. So either a EB II or ED ghia or fairlane for the seats & a sunroof, or a EL for door trims, mirrors & a few other little bits. 8-)

I can hear a cry coming from my shed, it's my poor Pano & Torana, sooking that i'm not getting enough work done on them! :oops:

Cheers

ToranaGuy
