Its bloody clean man, nice work. The dash spear looks good too. All you need now is the woodgrain shifter surround :D

I knew the moulds would change it, but it made a bigger difference than I thought it would. Very happy.

Let me know when the s**t is ready, switch sounds great. I have a bench seat economy switch in there instead for the corner lights, dont know where the f**k the aerial switch went and the plug is f**k so I'll grab that one off you. I want the aerial s**t back to normal, I had it wired to go full up all the time, but it went up and down constantly with the headlights on, so going to make it original and rip out the ugly corner lights (and wiring) and go from there.

Thanks heaps fellas :D

Love what you've done with everything, bar the rims (IMO FTR's would have suit it better)

Also, could you go through what you did with the dash spear? I too want to get it to match the woodgrain of the doors!

Cheers.

I have an original dash spear in it again, as the wooden one had a leg broken off and wouldn't sit right no matter how much double sided tape and silicon I used. I'm not sure what you mean though?

To change it, get a very thin flat head behind and gently pop it out. New one will just clip in. It didn't match the woodgrain on my doors, as I have the series 1 wood. Later cars came with plastic wood, is darker in colour.

As for the rims, I regret not getting FTR's. If I keep the car, it will get a few more goodies including a new set of rims.

Thanks for the comments.

BTW the car looks different now too....

Hey Slo whats the latest on the EF man?? Pics!! :P

Personally i reckon those CSA rims are nice, always had a soft spot for them in 17's until i found out how prone they are to cracking spokes :cry:. FTR's are good, but you see them on everything :lol:

I'll get some pics tomorrow, my missus took the fairmont today. So I'm left with the AU XR6 VCT. :D

Some champagne Concordes or EL GTs would look nice with the white I think. I'm over the CSA's...

Sorry maybe i wasnt clear;

Where did you get the spear from/what is it/is it a sticker pack woodgrain?

Is it from a NF/NL fairlane?

I'm very over the partial leather trim, the ugly wood, and the fact that the car is only a series 1 and missed the good bits.

If anyone has a nice Ford in SA and is interested in swaps, PM me.

Otherwise, I'm going to change the seats to normal Fairmont velour, rid the car of the Ghia badging and then I will have a Fairmont with Lots of little Ghia extras. Probably a bit odd, but easier than changing cars. I'm just really over it ATM.

Mate, i kind of understand how you feel.. Im starting to get over LTD woodgrain i have grown to love ever since i saw it. Was thinking of doing all the woodgrain trims in piano black to be different, but i still don't have the guts to do it :lol:

The Piano Black idea I have had for a while, would never have the guts to do it though. DO IT!

Sorry to hear that mate. If you ever want to get rid of the 'ugly' wood, let me know. It is pretty damn ugly I agree haha (give them to meeee!!)
