The Fairmont looks clean as, very nice. I'd keep that for sure, not many good ones anymore.
I like the wheels on the Fairmont too. Use the goodies on it that you want, sell the leftovers and the whole excercise will cost you nothing. |

It should say it on a plate on the passengers side of the firewall/ under the bonnet (easy to spot) if the car is an opt. 20 one, if not I suppose someone put the cluster in it sometime in it's lifetime. You might have a few other goodies like an LSD in it if it's an opt 20! That's a very decent find for 450 bucks man.

I'm trying to figure out if the original engine for this car, or if its from an XR6 or what ? Any help please lol.. |

Yeah i knew the gli didnt come with it but thought maybe thats what OPT25 meant but im just guessing randomly. I'm trying to sell the motor but the guy keeps asking what car its from and I have no idea lol, is there any difference between EF to EL Tickford motors, or the fairlane tickford motors ? I probablly should move this to another thread but im lazy, sorry guys.

My EL GLi wagon next to my newly, and cheaply aquired DF LTD. Next step: to tear out the completely buggered 8 to make way for the wagon's inline 6. Then, the fun begins.
    Those with a keen eye will note the Momo steering wheel and the very rare birdseye maple dash spear. Winning.

Got my EF Fairmont 185 back today after getting the grille + Bonnet resprayed. Had to go back to the EF Grille after the EL's flimsy POS fell apart when dismantling.
 Nice to see another EF mont in Tassie and a very similar EF heritage green a couple of pages back with similar mods.
