How far off ditchng the ghia badges and rectifying it truly limited? :lol: or you just keeping them?

Thanks Mate! I'm at a point now where the car is what it is, a Failane Ghia with LTD upgrades. I still have a few things I need to get my hands on like, DC rear garnish, boot emblem and a few interior trim pieces and the conversion will be considered complete. For now I think i'll keep the Ghia badges, don't think i'll be coming accross any of those parts any time soon.

Been watching this thread for a while with interest, Mate this is the nicest LWB Boxcar I have ever seen. Mint as, love all the LTD touches. Think you need a bigger garage for the thing though...

Keep us updated on that fairmont too!

Nice Fairlane Mick, If you want another cheap and easy Mod, take a look in my gallery at my tyres. All you need is some white tyre paint and an hour or so. looks S*** Hot in the flesh, excuse the dirty car lol. I seriously recommend the mod.

Thanks mate! Your too kind :oops: I only just got my garage cleaned out after the lane had been sitting in the driveway for the past 11 months, so happy with that for now. A big double garage with workshop and a hoist would be nice though :D

Don't hold ya breath on the fairmont mods mate......it's the missus' daily and won't be getting too much special treatment, not in the short term anyways!

Each to their own I say! Glad you like the look, but I went through that stage back in the 90"s (refer: Mick's Fords in Sig)
I prefer the wet look tyre shine these days.........go through cans of the s**t. Don't get me wrong mate, I loved the look back then too, especially the old Bridgestone Eagers and Yokohama 352's with the white lettering, just my tastes have changed with old age :lol: :P

Cheers,
Mick

Thanks mate! I'm in love too! Something to do with the 6 dogs I s'pose :P
Original sound file is on page 3 for those that couldn't be bothered looking, but here is another I had taken on the same day but on petrol instead of gas. Enjoy :D (for best results listen in dolby 5.1 surround sound at volume 10! It's music to my ears :lol: )

I still have my stock lane wheels here in mint condition with brand new tyres on them. I was considering getting them white walled and throwing them back on. I think the stockies will look good now she's been lowered. But white lettering is not gunna happen. I recently had new tyres fitted to my pajero and specifically asked the guy to put the white lettering on the inside of the wheels. As I said, I go through a lot of tyre shine :P 12 tyres on an average wash day :lol:

Just received my latest edition of Street Fords today and it made my day! Not only has the lane made it into Boys in Blue, but I won! :D

It is very gratifying to see the hard work is paying off. I am the happiest ford man on the planet at the moment, besides lowndesy and whincup of course :lol:

Oh!, and did I mention that I just spent 5 days at the mountain witnessing ford's dominance again :)

I even made it under the podium to get a little spray of the champagne that flowed from the bottles of the champions.

Does life get any better!!!

I sent it in many months ago, so some of the wish list has already been completed, but there is always more to do :roll:

Cheers,

Mick
