omg u serious thats a good deal, ure dreaming if u think u will find the parts cheaper, god i brought my headlights new and they were cheap new and it cost me 700 just for the headlights.
most wreckers are gonna want well over a grand for a full front end conversion.[/quote] I'm not dreaming - and I will not pay $700 for lights either! IF, and it's a bloody big IF, it comes to bying lights for $700 I MAY consider it. For now - I'll keep hunting for a wreck to salvage them from! |

Yeah I know - and that's cool, but too much at the moment! Ideally, as stated - I'd prefer to find a wreck to salvage from. (Alot of luck needed - I know!). If it comes time to fit all my parts, and I still don't have the headlights etc.. then I MAY consider it. For now - I wait

I can get them for under $140.00 - NEW AND GENUINE!
Put your price on them and we'll take it from there! Cheers, Matt.

FPV05 after all the stuffing around, the guy doesn't want to sell any parts off the XR, he looked a bit dodgy anways and i wouldnt be surprised if it were stolen. Sorry to keep you waiting, but i only use the computer once a week.

WHY!? Do you think that $140.00 is cheap for indicators!? I can't say that I have priced them (as yet) from ford, but $140 is NOT cheap for what they are! Anyway - as stated earlier, I'll keep searching for a wrecked XR6 to source them from! (for now). Cheers - Matt.

XR6 parkers & indicators are housed within the same indicator unit. $140 per side is about right for indicators on their own. from memory they retail around the $170 mark.
you'll be looking @ $1500+ for an XR wreck, and also under the assumption you find one with an intact front end. i have gone through the process of investingating (and have purchased) a wreck to salvage for parts - its a pretty lengthy process. any wreckers will charge you a min of $1000+ for an XR front all up, plus you'll need spraying.

Didn't know that the parkers were housed in the indicator unit 
If $140 per side sounds o.k. - and if it comes down to it - then I will go for it. As for the headlights, I feel that nearly $400 EACH is nothing more than fraudulant. A close relative of mine is a panel beater / spray painter, mainly working on porsche's (inc' porsche cup cars), amoung others. A porsche GT3 (sealed) headlight is around the same figure, approx $400, as I have been quoted for an original XR6 headlight So, who's getting ripped off
As for the rest of the conversion, I have front and rear bars / bonnet and boot spoiler (off camh1980) all original xr6 - all I need is lights and indicators! (in the middle of preping parts for paint!). If I can't find a wreck to salvage from - and when i'm up to fitment stage of conversion - then I might HAVE to consider allowing myself to be ripped off! Until then - the hunt continues! Cheers - Matt.
P.S. - if you hear of anyone who is wrecking one (with lights etc..) PM ME! P.P.S. - What does FORD charge!? Anyone know? |
