hey man nice car. I have the same lcd screen and the same steering wheel, but are you going to mould it into the panel. Also I am looking at doing my seats soon the much the steering wheel and i have painted the dash and donr the door inserts already

lookin pretty good so far, not too keen on the all black interior with the odd bit of gray or blue here and there. cant wait to see it when you finish it in black and navy blue.

keep up the good work.

Looks nice, love the gunmetal falcons.

Black interior is nice. Looks good!

Clear repeaters and dark tint next?????

Nice mate I got the altezzas on my grey EF too, they look good. I got the same remote too (JVC) but different headunit lol.

Nice work so far, Interior looks very nice.

Cheers guys. Interior is fairly patchy at the moment. But it's so flippin hard finding time whilst doing year 12 at the same time. Expecially with the subjects Im doing.

I've already fibreglassed the screen bracket into the centre console. Very simply though. I don't mind how it turned out. It'd be too much of a fiddly job trying to get it looking really pro so I reckon I'm just gonna leave it more or less as it is. I don't mind how it turned out. Not bad for a one day job I reckon.

And the boot install after one day I'm pretty proud of as well Carpeting is going to be a b**ch. I got some nice velour black... I like black I guess ...

I'm not emo

thank f**k!

yeah get the fabric done in the doors ASAP - will complete the look nicely!

Dark tint is a must... I LOVE gunmetal Falcons as well... thus I own one. Bonnet paint is starting to fade though

Call me an idiot, but, what are clear repeaters? I could just google it and find out for myself but I've gotta go to work

looks good mate, love the shifter

getting it the screen to look good doesnt take to much effort

heres a pic of mine. the pic isnt the best but you can get the idea

looks pretty neat. Not too sure about the FORD sticker on the rear screen though, looks a bit boganish.

Repeaters are the indicators on the side of the car infront of the front doors, u have orangey ones, clear ones are clear

dude get the clear side repeaters, i hav e a dark Blue EF fairmont ghia lowered heavily but stock body, the clear ones make the car stand out in a croud even with stock body and paint!

lookin neat there keep it up and mabey some sorta body kit would look good
