Where they just standard (same as GLI), or were they from a higher spec model. Also, was the radiator support the same accross all models?

From memory, the radiator supports are the same across the EF and EL models, but where slightly different to the EA - ED models. The bonnets were fairmont items, as the grilles were interchangable between the fairmont and GT Back to top Low EL Fordmods Tyre Shredder Age:28 Posts: 312 Joined: 05 Nov 2004 Location: Cairns, Far North Queensland QLD, Australia View User Gallery (0) Posted: Mon Dec 27, 2004 10:50 am    Post subject: Sweet. so I also assume fairmont lights, or are they the same (and the guards) as the gli?

Yeah, thats right. Im not sure how far things extended, but lights may be different. I dont know a real lot on the subject, so theres probably a good idea to wait for someone else Back to top cougar30 Fordmods - Smokin em up Age:42 Posts: 202 Joined: 09 Nov 2004 Location: Redcliffe, Brisbane QLD, Australia View User Gallery (0) Posted: Mon Dec 27, 2004 11:41 am    Post subject: I have an EL Fairmont and would LOVE to get hold of a EL GT GRILL ....

The front bar, sideskirts with wheel arch flares are difficult to come by - I think andrrewsfutura made mention of the kit being available for EF's in FM V1...obviously some kind of replica...but yeah very rare, as I don't think I have seen a completely mocked up EL Ghia to look like a GT as yet.

Not looking for exact replica, just something along those lines. Although, might have a look at the venom fronts too..... just looking at options at the moment.

I got quoted close to $1000 from three different ford spare parts dealers, and that was using those part numbers. Ended up buying mine of ebay.
