AU Ghia Badges
Ever since I went for a ride in MRE50L's AU Fairlane Ghia and saw the very nice Ghia Door Trim Badges. Unfortunately, new ones proved quite pricey from Ford at $24.25 each and I wanted three of them. The other day 3 of these badges came up on eBay and I was able to secure them for $23 posted. I couldn't use the std fitting clips so removed them with the dremel. The photos will show the rest.       Cheers BenJ

Wow, that looks pretty damn nice BenJ, adds that finishing touch to the interior perfectly. I'd have to say that's the first time I've seen those Ghia badges before.

LOL!!
Ash, Ash, Ash. I thank you for your confession, but I understand you keeping them to use yourself, seeing as you purchased the wreck in the first place. Seeing as you are feeling guilty, how much of that AU wagon rear cargo trim is there and what condition is it in? Cheers BenJ

XB GT Bonnet Progress
Oh, I almost forgot        Finally got some Black Pearl on the bonnet, and couldn't resist putting it back on the wagon to see how all the body kit parts went together. Very pleased with the overall effect. Clear coat is yet to be applied. Cheers BenJ

Thanks All.
Re the Ghia badge on the dash spear, I want to try recessing it. I have a couple of spears I can use and will give it a go one quiet weekend. Cheers BenJ

ben, RE: the block conversation for the bumper, i think if you were to find a way to install it onto the bar i feel it will block too much air flow. full mesh would look the part IMO and bring better flow to the intercooler

This looks so cool, BenJ. The BA headlights look really awesome.

Cruise Photos
Hi. I went for a cruise today with the AFF crew out to Bathurst for a few laps around the mountain. I took the opportunity to take a photo or two. I hope you like them.       The wagon went great, and I did 375 kays round trip on LPG with 10l left in the tank. Makes for a cheap day out LOL. Cheers BenJ
