 struggled to find out what the roof linings are made of ....... believe i now know & how to repair have fitted a replacement sill cover .. not quite happy with it as missing two plastic lugs, however did fit one sill clip at the rear ....... just need to figure out front attachment  front disc's & pads have been replaced as has missing rh front mudguard. bought some LTD/Ghia door trims awhile ago & matching chrome door handles have just arrived  had a small[ish] play with some interior 'stuff'  picked up the box & parts......

ok. currently trying to pull shifter 'knob' off ...............
  not sure on how to pull it apart without breaking something else and as you can see the vinyl piece around knob has come off .....  have already tried pulling the trim piece holding the vinyl covering on shifter......... & have now hopefully repaired it   [altho the 'chrome' plastic covering is a bit soso] and that metal ring that you have to remove...................   have just picked up some SY [?] Territory rear passenger seats [not 3rd row] for a looksy at how it goes together....... what a heavy forker it is & might only use the headrests

hope everyone had a great day yesterday
tried doing a bit more on the wagooon ........ found a cupla areas i didn't like this is the passenger rear wheel well .... at the rear of  at the front of the passenger rear wheel well.... somewhere above the shocker  when i removed the bolt for the spare wheel holder support..... aftermarket - so i could remove & clean the side panel  base  would there be any hassles/problems with mounting the factory mount instead??  was thinking a flat plate between the rear mounts & plate welded on inside of support plate [on inside of boot rail] with a flat plate under floor. flat plate would be a bit bigger than the aftermarket plates fitted. refer pic below  yellow lines refer to where plates would be fitted with one in wheel holder welded in this IS what i would prefer to put in instead of using the original color mat.     i do have a better condition items currently put away [used] also found that one of the retaining spring clips on a rear pad had NOT been fitted properly [was sticking out of the caliper not in].......

looks like i will be going with the factory spare wheel mount as the AU spare wheel holder [aftermarket] has the rear resonator in the way of the bolts .....

was having a 'look' at me parts & cars
....... and noticed the spare wheel holder in the back of the red EB wagooon ..... simpler design, but using the black trim & 'carpet' i have a 'hole' that must be filled. refer pic using the unit from the red wagooon [which was made using bent flat plate. you will understand when i put a pic up] i would then need to either enlarge the base plate to suit the factory lpg liner/carpet OR go to a replacement floor mat...... which would be plastic link- https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Custom-Moulded-Rubber-Boot-Liner-Ford-Falcon-Wagon-AU-BA-BF-1998-2008-Cargo-Mat-/262738822640?hash=item3d2c7445f0 pic of item  tempting item.............. found some good pics of the smartbar fitted to a ute.   hopefully i can do as good a job on mine

came across a "smartbar" so bought it....
 on another note..... Quote: how many 'styles' did they make of this wheel style ?? - rechecked & not the same  coz my 'odd' wheel centre does NOT look as per pic above where the wheel cap goes it is a smaller opening for the cap to sit in [and more 'meat' between the wheel nuts/centre cap] & where the cap 'legs' go the wheel angles in so i cannot use ones i have here will have to recheck the ones at the wreckers so i need to find another that matches the other 3
