Thanks mate.
next mods are probaly going to be the EF mirrors, and i'm thinking of doing somehting with my front bumper. Not sure what, as i want to retain the sleeper image, but the front bar sucks on these, it isn't even as low as the sills, and it tucks in too quickly. I've been draiwng up ideas on what i can make. Thanks for the comments fella's

Great job, really adds to the custom look of the car, without going past a sleeper look.
Your (PIMP LTD) right about the bumper thou, just needs something to tie the lights back in to the whole design of the front. I was thinking more like some spotties (of the same design - painted black surrounds) mounted to a 'light bar' that mounts behind the number plate thus putting the spotties at the height of your factory lights. (I hope that makes sense LOL, if not I'll try to make up a pic.)

Yeah man that makes sense. Sounds like it could work.
I also had the idea of cutting my spare front bar below the grey srtip, and my EF Fairmont bar in the same spot, and putting the 2 together, then fitting the ghia fog's the the EF bottom half. So i'd effectivly have an EF mont bar, but i'd retain the grey strip that goes with the rest of the car, which i plan to keep. I'll try do a chop later Thoughts?

yeah i reckon. The EB bar is so plain and boring, it tucks in too far too quick, and doesn't hang as low as even the bottom of the doors, so it looks stupid, especially from side on.
I don't want to kit it, i want to keep the stock theme, but add some zest to the car. The lights do it well, and combined with the bumper mod, i think it'll be sweet. Hopefully i may get some done to this next weekend, and then i'll start tracking down some ghia fogs.

Q ford at springwood can get them,i got a brand new pair for my ef fairmont ghia last year,they were about $100 each from memory,they are actually a cornering light more than a fog light, i had them wired to a relay and a toggle switch,and when they were switched on they lit up the footpath!!!!

Custom bumper bar, sounds good. Just remember that ppl do EL top to BA FPV bottom, so why not EB/D Top and EF bottom?
With the 'fog' lights, yes they are cornering lamps not fog lights. If you have a Fairlane they come on when your headlights are on and when you put on your indicators. They aren't designed for forward light, which suxs.

Yeah thats what i'm doing, EB top, matched to the EF Mont bottom. My mate is a plastic welder, so i can get it joined, then just smooth and paint it myself. That sucks about the lights, however, i don't reckon i'd really use them, probably just be there for class, so to speak. Hopefully the bar will come up mint, i can't really picture it, but i like the monts bar. Andrew.

That is hot as f**k!
Thanks for the chop man, nice work. I havent the faintest idea on how to do that stuff, i even have a chop program, but can't use it. I think i will do this, that makes it look phat, will look even better combined with the BA lights. BTW, what you mean by the previous comment thing? I'm lost? Andrew.
