$ wise it will be cheaper to buy a smashed ghia and take the interior and then sell off the rest of the left overs and try and make a profit

Hi Tony.

Everything from a sedan interior except for the rear seat back is a straight bolt in swap. There is a lot of work if you want to swap in the complete dash loom, and gadgets, but it is very doable.

The sedan rear seat back can be modified to fit the wagon.

Cheers
BenJ

Cool, Thanks for that, now looking for (hopefully) a fairmont ghia to use for the conversion. Back seats im probably going to leave unless they look like crap with the fairmont interior cause the wagon has done 343.579kms and when i got it (in january 2002) it had only done 74.000kms and interior still looks good but i thought ill just update it and make it look nice but it could do with a new look instead of just stock (make it stand out) :D

Thanks BenJ and make sure you keep on modding that EB Ghia!

OK, some time ago I posted up that I had sadly found a crack in one of my CSA Prowlers. A very sad occurance.

A few weeks ago, I acquired a replacement wheel. The rim is sound, but the clear coat is in bad shape. And close inspection of my other three rims also reveals that the clear coat on those is also lifting and flaking.

With that in mind, I photoshopped a few paint options for the wheels.

Standard

Black Spokes with Black Inner Rim
Image
Black Spokes with Silver Inner Rim
Image
Black Spokes with Silver Star

Silver Spokes with Black Star

I liked the the Black Spokes with Silver Inner Rim option the most, so I grabbed the cracked rim, some masking tape and a rattle can of Engine Enamel Gloss Black I had laying around, and ended up with this.

I like this option as leaving the inner rim silver give appearance of a deeper dish rim. The spokes on the good rims will be painted in Black Pearl to match the body colour.

I will be paint stripping the rims, and polishing the areas not being painted, before clear coating for some protection. Any gutter rash will be sanded smooth while I am at it.

I hope to get this done over the next few weeks. I just have to sort out some alternative wheels with decent tyres for me to run around on.

Cheers
BenJ

not bad, i prefer the black spokes & black inner rim as most new wheels are painted that way

leaving the inner rim silver makes the rim look a little smaller like 16's

My Prowlers are doing the same thing, clear has turned yellow and peeling off. I am thinking about stripping all the clear off, and polishing the entire wheel, then maybe re do the clear. Or leave them as is. Same issue, gotta get some other wheels to use in the mean time, as well as get some enthusiasm. At the moment i cbf, I will just drive it and worry about it later. :D

Might even wash the poor thing one day soon, It's nearly due for it's 6-monthly wash. 8-)

I have been informed that the rear doors on the wagon are different to the sedan. Is this the case?

Really? That's cool. I thought the wagon had a slightly different roof line & the top of the doors were on a different angle?

Cheers
