audio update...
finally installed the jaycar splits.. what a difference!!!! alot louder when i compared sets drivers - jaycar passenger - VDO i didnt even mod the EA doors.. so i fit 6" speakers into a hole made for 4" WITHOUT ANY CUTTING! WOOT fitted the backing piece and with the speaker on a turn it fit in, tested the rebound to make sure nothing fouls and it works perfect. threw the tweeters up in the fairmont/fairlane tweeter location for now without brackets (new dash to go in came from a lane to ill fit them to brackets then)  then i removed these from the rear  then put the VDO splits in the rear.. not that you can hear them now lol   i had to over come a slight issue tho...  i simply mounted the woofer to the cover panel for now. ill buy another set of jaycar splits to fit in the rear in a few weeks and ill make it all fit properly no updates for this weekend, i have blackers10's and debzillas wedding saturday so no time to work on the car apart from wash it |

started the new look today, still need more paint but im liking the look of it all. i was tempted to ditch the red but after comparing it all i like it better with the red. plans are to repaint the strips and lower half of the car, and then fit red-walls

Nice work, it definitely looks heaps smoother/cleaner now. The red stripe suits it well i think

Good work Huggie!!!
Certainly gives it a more cohesive look. But you do need the red stripe to break the colour nicely. Cheers BenJ

looks good man, how come you painted it black before painting it white? is it a bumper primer??

yeah bumper primer, it apparently has more flexability in the paint or some crap to prevent cracking.. who knows.
i honestly would of thought i would of had enough in the 2 cant do to the whole car as the strips arnt that big, that side was 1 can and the boot strip and the underside of the wind deflector was another can.. doesn't last at all |

got annoyed with the size of the old steering wheel and since the fairlane isnt going anywhere for the next few months i stole the steering wheel off it. much nicer to drive now.
 i also went shopping today, got a central locking kit (as its a series 1 and didnt come with it from factory) K&H colour code paint in a pressure pack (made up on the spot) aprox 400g which ends up half the price of supercheap stuff, 4 U-bolts to suit 2" lowering blocks and 3 rolls of masking tape. total cost aprox $80, not bad really.

update.. i had some issues with the front bar and paint, the paint i got stuffed up so i took it back, ended up being the nozzle so they replaced it for me.
it needs another coat or 2 still but the wagon wont be around much longer, due to family requirements and cash flow im selling the wagon and purchasing a KH laser, 1.8 fuel injected 5 speed. it has LPG but needs stamping and some unknown issue with it but ill just rip it out. here is some new pics of how it currently is

Major bummer dude, lots of work gone into it tho, it's looks tuff on those FTR's with the white strips.
It's cool how little things can make a big diff in the end. O well, good luck with the lazer dude.

cheers, i know it will be one of those cars where i wish i kept it, but the work i have to do to it for me to be happy is massive lol, like the MPFI, is just 1 wire to move, but the T5 install im worried about doing still.
but by going the laser it will leave me with more cash for the supercharger kit for the fairlane and more time to do the EF dash and loom conversion into the NC. ill be keeping the lowering blocks etc as once i added up the costs of the initial purchase and the new U-bolts it cost the same as a new set which no one will pay for second hand so ill keep them for a while as i might end up with another one in the future |
