I have soooooooo much planned. Here's to start:

* Add cruise control
* Add iPod adapter
* install new coolant bottle
* add weathershields
* New bonnet struts
* New alloy wheels (by new, I'm open to second hand )
* Install rear power windows.

I'm still torn on a name. George suggested XTC (eXTasy Cam). I like that, but not sure fully if its right. Any ideas?

I THINK the name is SUPER Fantastic

Good unit to start modding goodness with

congrats on the new purchase,i just got my missus a late 03 futura nearly 2 weeks ago and she love's it thou the central locking was playing up and turned out to be the bcm but the car yard fixed that.I hope you got a good trade on your ed as that was tidy..

phill

nice work cam and the b series are so much more refined and comfortable then the good ole e series.

will be watching this thread.

cheers, bear

Pretty good price for a BA with that amount of kays.

How does it have an electric drivers seat though? Is the spec list from the car place you bought it from inaccurate, or has it been added?

Nah mate, all BAs have electric seat as standard, except when its a column shift. Only LTDs get passenger electric seats too.

And I'm very pleased with the price. I actually expected to get knocked back for the finance. LOL

Cam, Cam, Cam, Cam

What are we going to do with you?

Sigh!!!!!!

Well, as long as you are happy, that is the main thing. Sad to see the ED go, but on to newer, though not necesarily better , things.

The proposed mods are tasteful and should improve on the XT.

Cheers

Really? I looked at a BA while hunting for my AU, and that didn't have a power seat.

But cool

Yeah ta mate, I knew where the controls are located, I seriously don't recall seeing them though

Maybe I just don't have a great memory..

cam, nice car...
we all will to update cars sooner or later, dont feel like an e series traiter, ba's are still a ford and a nice one at that,

Nice score camfOrd

nice car mate, great price..

first mod.. TRANS COOLER!

Welcome to the B-Series brigade....

Looks like a pretty clean base to start with, nice pickup....

Nice car Cam. I know someone that has some BF XR wheels on an AU....

Well, if you're thinking about a certain Papa Smurf I work with, I doubt he'll let me have 'em LOL

Incidentally, I am after some BA XR wheels like the ones I had on Monty which I bought from Ash if anyone has a set. *puppydog eyes*
