Well have been a busy lad again.
This is my last week of holidays, and I go back to work again next week. Sad state of affairs really. LOL I had already painted the interior door handles in Satin Black, and I really liked the way they came up. I had been looking around for some stuffed EF/EL woodgrain door trims, and finally a set fell into my lap. So I started late last week sanding them back and painting them. I took my time, but the passenger front disagreed with the plastic primer and crazed. I tried a couple of times to sand it back and re prep it but it was no good. In the end I just sprayed some black on it, let it dry then gave it a light sand and hit it with a couple of coats of spray putty. Problem solved. Any way yesterday I finished spraying them and let them dry overnight. I fitted them in place this morning using some clear silicone. Enough talk, some pics. 
I think I will also paint the Fairmont dash spear to match. Will have to get a spare one first. Cheers BenJ

Hey, thanks Nicco.
I forgot to include a couple of other things I have added to the interior. Remote Central Locking and Boot Release - Cheers snap0964 Rear Map Pockets (EF Ghia) Carpet Kick Panels (EL Ghia) Power Antenna (AU) and Grey Switch (EL Wagon) Felt lined Glove Box (EF Ghia) Leather Hand Brake Handle (EF Ghia) Still got very little heat from the heater. This is no different to how is was before the dash change though. Looks like the dash will be coming out again in the near future. "Sigh" Cheers BenJ

Hi Mate I got the antenna from an AU wreck. I had to change the mast cover and the bottom bracket to fit the EB. The antenna itself is identical to the EB unit. For the remote central locking, I installed an alarm system, which also can immobilise the car. It is also able to open the boot by remote. You can get remote central locking kits from places like Jaycar etc. Cheers BenJ

What about the electrics for the antenna? Needed the high series module etc?

Yes, you do for factory operation. And luckily I had put in the Fairmont loom and BEM so made it nice and easy. Or, read this wonderful tech doco by snap0964 http://www.fordmods.com/forums/Power-Antenna-Install-d69.html and you could install one without it all. BenJ

Ah cool, pretty simple then. Might have to check the wreckers for a three pole switch that fits and look factory.

I hate bloody electric antenna's.. always end up breaking the masts...
best benefit of modern cars is that they have almost entirely removed the external antenna. |

That looks great Benj!
I can't wait to have EF gear all in, and be able to tinker like this! Good work. Andrew.

yeah, thats a good point.. Benj swapped motor and dash with EL, he could just as easily grabbed the whole front and dash looms and replaced the lot.
