LOL Well, I have been plodding along gathering bits and pieces for a number of different mods. I am well along the way on the BA headlight mod hehe I am taking a slightly different build approach, which will be detailed when it is done. I have also acquired a 6 bolt flywheel, and my good mate snap0964 modded my spare EB Auto Pedal box as per this doco, by snap0964 of course. http://www.fordmods.com/forums/Auto-to-Manual-Pedal-Box-Mod-d92.html My pedal box will never break, bend or twist now. I also have an EB style shifter lever, and the rubber boot thing that bolts to the floor. Just a few more odds and ends to get, like a CLUTCH, a CLUTCH CABLE and CLEVIS. Nothing major lol. I do have the actual T5 lined up so that is good. The other mod I am getting ready to do is the rear brake conversion to EL style brakes. This needs to be done before the T5 conversion, as my handbrake at the moment is useless, due to my sloppy engineering attempt at a hybrid EB/EL setup after my interior conversion. Part of the conversion plan is to drill the upper control arm brakets with a lower mounted hole. This is to correct the pinion angle rumble that I get occassionaly with the family all in the car. One of the bits I needed to acquire was XR upper control arms. The standard upper control arms foul on the diff housing as the suspension compresses. Here are som pics of the EB XR6 arms I now have. And the standard ones for comparison You can see the radiius cut out of the arm to clear the diff housing. And the last thing I am working on is fitting the USC body kit. It needs a little bit of repair work before painting. As part of this I have decided to give the EB a slightly different look. Here is a photoshop of what I will be aiming for. Some of you will hate it and some of you will love it, but the main thing is that I love it so bite me. It will certainly be unique. Comments, criticsm and applause all welcome.

Talk about waking a sleeping giant and all that. Within an hour you get all sorts of interested parties poking the respective noggins out of their hidy holes for comment. What happened to the black rear pillar? I liked that bit. Am glad you have not gone with the look that reminded me a Commoder Berlina Vacationer circa 1988. I've been looking for some sideskirts, but they all seem to be the "sticky outey square" variety and not the smooth sculptured and classy variety. Figure that if I put side skirts on the car will no longer be tempted to take me 4WD'ing.

That looks great, and certainly different from the norm, which is even better Have you thought about blackening the chrome lip as well, as its good at hiding the "small wheel syndrome".... did a chop to give you an idea, plus a couple other bits Back to top huggiebear Fordmods - Getting Side Ways Posts: 3259 Joined: 31 Oct 2005 Location: . QLD, Australia View User Gallery (28) Posted: Tue Sep 23, 2008 9:23 pm    Post subject: i prefere the chrome lip. it just looks too dark without out it. also i dont like the dark door handles Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First             Forum Index -> The Garage Goto page Previous  1, 2, 3 ... 7, 8, 9, 10, 11  Next Page 8 of 11   (c)2002-2008 Matti Jones and Brad Evans [47 queries :: 0.05941 seconds ]
