meh. with the 2.77 rear it's a bit of a slug.

that would mean i'd have to pull the door trim off again....


Ah ok please dont pull it of , i am not worth it

I have seen many threads etc people saying its possible , but i for one say its a pain in the a$$

Did you need to trim up the door trim at all to stop it from rubbing on the speaker ?

the EA has NC fairlane door trims and seats in it. So it has 6" speaker holes/grills on the door trims. But my EB1 has the 4" grills but 6.5" speakers and they didn't hit

It's an easy job to do

Ahh yes yes i under stand now thank you so much

So pretty much got to change the door trims to 6" ones e,g EBs2+ etc then its a piece of pie to just trim the actual door to fit


How does the EA rate in terms of sound quality for the stereo system e,g have you had a system like current in anther shaped car etc ?

so I lowered the Ghia on Pedders GSR struts/shocks and springs yesterday. And bolted the SVO wheels on because I could.

And bought these wheels to put on once I get tyres. Ford Crown Victoria 16s. Or as we know them NL Fairlane Concorde wheels
