i reckon probably get your kit fitted first and lower it to suit man. You don't want it really low and then put a kit on because it will scrape everywhere.

Definately need to get rid of the EL Falcon front bar, headlights, grill, bonnet. And that's my input.

Thanks Glenn my thoughts exactly, i was also thinking of putting the white door moulds like they have on fairmont ghia's, and going to clear indicators.

who could i source the white door mould through???

depends what type you want. You could get the fairlaine/fairmont door moulds with the chrome and the clear indicator from ford or from a wrecker, or you could just get your existing ones sprayed white and get some clear indicators. I dunno where you get the clear GLi/futura/xr indicators from but i think Amber and EFFalcon to name a few have them, probably see where they sourced theirs would be a good idea.

i think i might go with the "fairlaine/fairmont door moulds with the chrome and the clear indicator " from Ford, i think they would look pretty nice with a tickford bodykit.

Since it's an EL the taillights will already have clear indicators.


Isn't it the EF's which have the clear back indicators? I know mine sure does!! :)

I dunno maybe, I just presumed it was like the Wagons, EL's were clear. If I'm wrong then this bloke should go and change his to EF tailights!

Ah yes, but not all tickford kits have the XR lights. That's your difference.
