Hmmmm, could be interested in them there lights, can I get back you after we have moved house (whenever that bloody ends up being!). I know I already owe you some dollars... (can't remember how much though - ha!) and would have to sort that out first....

The wagoon now has a non-airbag dash, one that started out as an XR6 and ended up as a Fairmont-Futura - ha!. Thanks heaps to Ray who dropped by to watch (ha!) and ended up assisting. The dash badge is currently a Futura one (Ray got the XR6 badge), I have a Fairmont one somewhere to replace it. Ray also found my recirc flap thingie was busted and repaired that while I transferred the Fairmont wiring into the XR6 dash. I didn't get as much other wiring done as I wanted due to time restraints but I did get some passed through to the front passenger door while the dash was out, would have been a PITA to do with it in.
Also found out (well, Ray found it actually) why my variable wipers weren't working. I followed the wiring from the main dash loom to the column loom and found it was all there. Snap then set about pulling the stalk apart to do some tests. What he found was one of the wires coming from the end of the stalk had pulled away from the little pot thing. So I now need to a) repair that or b) get another stalk and graft the parts into my one. While I was in the dashless cabin, I removed the inside airbag sensor and the airbag controller. The only airbag bit left is the steering wheel bag which unfortunately has to stay until I find a wheel cover sans the bag. Anyone happen to have a deployed airbag they don't want, all I need is the cover. I also need to remove the airbag light from the cluster, the NF unit shows the airbag light on hard when there is no controller there..... So, I now have one dash less to move, one more to pass over to BenJ  Cheers RD

nice work. im doing the opposite lol, i currently have a airbag-less dash and im fitting the dual airbag dash minus the passenger bag itself. instead it will house the EMS ECU out of the way and nice and neat.

I often thought of that but decided against it as I had no idea what to put in the hole!

Anyone want a red wagon? I am in an EVL mood at the moment and have no motivation whatsoever in doing much to the car.... I don't even enjoy driving it anymore.
The suspension sucks - the rear on which I did the "flip the top leaf" thing is as soft as it gets, especially on the ultra crap roads around my way. It bottoms out with 3 kids in the car!!! The fronts are picking up the gaurd lips and stuffing them up so the wheels will probably go onto Rach's EF and I'll put stockies back on with EL Futura covers or the EF Fairy wheels off Rachs. Then there is the steering pump needing replacement, the idler pullies needing replacement and a couple of other things under the bonnet that there is no cash for. I have an XR6 cam to put in with a set of extractors but can't do that as a package due to needing the cat shortened/modded which again there is no cash for. A ton of other things need doing as well but I really can't be bothered, it just annoys me...... So anyone want a red wagon.....?

So's that the car's fault, or yours ???? racedirector wrote: The suspension sucks - the rear on which I did the "flip the top leaf" thing is as soft as it gets, especially on the ultra crap roads around my way.

You need to retain the small leafs on the bottom, and fit two of the same as you've done to the top - ride height is slightly less lowered than what you have (about 0.25 "), but spring stiffness is better, and bottoming out less likely. This has been covered with you before, so what you have is no surprise.racedirector wrote: Then there is the steering pump needing replacement, the idler pullies needing replacement and a couple of other things under the bonnet that there is no cash for.

Did you replace the belt yet??, or are you waiting for more cost if it fails ??

Time to toughen up , find some money and have a crack at sorting it out.
I have no idea why there was a dig at me with the EVL comment but who knows and who cares. There is only so long a car can be patched up and modified with dodgy second hand crap before it starts to give hassles.

Whoa, settle down.....it wasn't a dig, it was in reference to how you (and probably many others) just have no motivation to do anything to a car. No idea why you are so p****d off with me but hey, your entitled to any opinion you like.

I have lots of motivation nowdays to be back into it.
Got the things out of the way that were a hassle and back into it. I get p****d off being singled out for s**t.
