UPDATE
ok im not having barly any time to myself atm, but i wanted to gove a small update (i am writing the guide for the covers slowly) 1. intake manifold has been welded, just having some touch ups done by a mate 2. throttle is done waiting till i get payed tommorow to send the $$$ 3. the interior is in!!!!!! i have to say, i didnt think it would come out this well, i can see why some would think the ebay coveres are a bad idea and would be crap, but if you take the time to actually fit them properly, they fit really well (just like the original) and look better than any fairlane interior i could have got that is 10+ years old. everyone thats seen it thinks its amazing and it looks and feels sooo good in person. anyway a teaser pic untill i get time to get some high quality, pics of the parts. Before  After

your right they look f**k awesome, and like brand new leather seats !!
i was *that* close to buying these, but a used Ghia interior came up with woodgrain & chrome doortrims for slightly less $$ but was a tough decision, those covers look like theyre worth every cent |

Looks great man, seems like they fit very very well. You wouldnt think they were covers at all. The colour goes well with the rest of the interior too
 . Nicely done!!

Seat covers look like they need to 'wear in' a bit ? ie the cover is too big for the cushion - kinda like seat fat rolls if you get my drift ?
Is it because they're still new perhaps ?Nice read Marc - keep us posted on how the BBM goes ! |

damn marc, the seats definitely look sexier with the trim...how much did it set you back again? I think you may have answered this question, but I don't remember the answer nor can I be bothered scrolling through the pages to read it again...I'm capped.
phong =P~

Looking bloody good there mate.
Re. the advancing issue with the auto. It probably was sending an error code causing a form of limp mode. This thread makes me want to do some tidying up on my car... And even start a thread on it... I have done so many minor mods, just to many to list.......

FordFairmont, KWIKXR, Andrew, kennyken - cheers guys.
SLO247 - it is sprayed matte black but will one day get a newer wheel put on, one day SHTEEVE - yeah they are a bit loose at the top, but after a week they have pulled down a bit, i may just have to slide some foam up there to stretch it out a tiny bit, you don't actually notice it in the car, that pic made it look worse. bbm update on the way. PHONG - cheers, i didn't mention the cost before, but all up was $850 and a big wait, so worth it though, will be getting a few more pieces through them though. MadMatt - yeah go for it, its the small detail mods that make the car, people get caught up in the big stuff. MoNGooSE - cheers, but im not seeing where i copied you. more pics of interior and BBM update inbound. |

FEW MORE PICS OF INTERIOR
few more pics of interior that ive got, non are really arty or anything, just sorta detail stuff, last one i like it shows that if fitted correctly it fits perfectly and holds the contours of the seat.    DETAILS ON BBM if got the thing back from welding, and it looked rough, even the welds ballooned out onto the inside of the manifold so i have had to spend ages grinding them down, and smoothing the inside of the manifold down, and taking all the original casting marks down, these pics were taken a few hours ago, i forgot to take pics after i gave up for today as they look alot smoother, will get more when ive finished with it. i am yet to start on the bottom half of it, as i was thinking of just reworking the bottom half of the one currently on the car as it has been ported already, all ill have to do is take the butterflies out and make the initial part of the short runner (where the butterflies were) larger. as you can see i opted to have it cut above the lower vacuum pipes and sensors, so i dont have to lengthen hoses or re-re-do my wiring loom. Anyhoo pics.
