Get rid of the woodgrain, get the plastic and have it painted a piano black, same with the door handle surrounds, and get the handles chromed. Otherwise, that is the sexiest lane i have seen...... untill i build one myself! Good luck Mick! I was just thinking the same thing, the deep gloss that piano black has would look good in the Fairlane interior along with a few other black highlights in the trim etc. but the woodgrain also looks very smart, a lot better than the original grey plastic, does make the interior look just that little bit classier as Fairlanes should be  Well done!! |

Thanks fella's!
Won't be getting rid of the wood, but welcome to your opinions. It does actually look much better in person than the pics show, and even the lighter centre console pieces are growing on me after having a few drives over the weekend. I might try that piano black suggestion in the NA, it's the wife's new daily, so I can experiment a little with that before doing anything drastic with the NC  Cheers, Mick

im using saturn black and i love the look. i think if you go piano black you will need ALOT of clear coats to make it look good and stay that way. also all the texture would need sanding off

Good Stuff Ross  I'm glad all is going well with the Diff, as I never installed it, it was always an unknown and made me a bit nervous about selling it on. But it sounds like it was a good one And I agree on the wood comments! I'm quite happy with the look and it seems that the point of the build has been missed by a few reading the thread. It will be as close to...if not better than the DC LTD, as there is also some later model enhancements that have found there way into the build. Cheers, Mick

look like FG GT rims, photoshopped lol. I'm doing the black spray on the dash pieces mick, check out my build thread when it's done to see if you like it or not, keeping the wood for the centre console and steering wheel, and spraying the dash black to match the gearboot and centre of wheel. I just had an idea in keeping with your "shaved" look in your sig, i see you photoshopped the LTD hood emblem off, why not use one off a TS50? that would look sexy as.

hmmmm
 I thought they were FPV Copbra copies??? But they are the style with the black highlights instead of the silver. Anyway, they will be a long way off now I'm jumping through hoops to buy a house. Not sure what position I will be in with future upgrades until the shock of paying off a mortgage settles in. But I hear it's good to have a hobby at home rather than go out  Could be spending a lot of time in the new garage. As for the "shaved" look.......who knows, a lot of time at home with no money could mean I'd be tempted to have a go at it myself.....on a second hand set of doors of course Look forward to seeing what comes of the black dash. A few have suggested it, but I'm yet to be convinced. I do hope you're not planning on spraying the wood dash pieces  I have heaps of spare plastic dash pieces if you want some.

Na hell no, not sprayin the wood lol, too precious for that, i have already chopped it all out, which is punishable by death in some peoples books
 Take a look at my thread if you wanna see that boot that got put into the wood. Ok i admit i'm wrong, they just looked like the FG ones to me, my silly eyes. they look bloody good on the Lane though mate!

Well! Haven't had any updates to report lately and unfortunately there won't be any in the near future
 . You see, life goes on and I have finally bitten the bullet and bought my first home, so playing with the toys will be put on hold indefinitely. The house I bought doesn't even have a garage yet, just a double length carport, so the garage will have to come first before any of the major mods I had planned for the lane will take place. Baby steps  So for now as far as the Lane's concerned, I am signing off on the mods department  ......but I will be back, mark my words!Will still keep an eye out for any cruises or shows that will be in the area, so I will still be around, just busy with other projects See ya's around! Cheers, Mick
