The wagon is coming along OK , Mick spent 2 days solid disecting wiring looms to adapt all the BF front to the BA rear. aswell as hooking up the dual zone climate, fpv alarm, wiring for guages and wiring to the 6 speed shifter.
The dash is all back in now. Grey fairmont ghia style momo wheel and dash trims. FPV cluster , FPV scuff trims, blue illumination. Tailshaft is back from being shortened (used a BF tornado shaft) and is all bolted up. We have a 3 & 1/2 inch single system to go under it with a custon dump pipe. spare wheel is a territory 17" spare. looks like a std BA steel wheel with all the holes. but in 17". this clears the brakes turbo comes back from being rebuilt thursday . so hopefully we can have it up and running by the end of next week. photos will go up in the next few days |

These the 4-pot Brembos? I thought like the 6-pot setup they needed 18"s to clear. If so goody, means cheap rubber for the back of mine  (got the 4-pot Brembo setup on the back).

Turbos with big exhausts tend to be loud (read: skylines).. mine only has a catback twin 2.5" system and it makes a racket alright.

well its made the trip up to Knox ford
They all loved it!!!! It definatly pulled a crowd in the workshop! The night shift boys there have given all the modules the required handshakes , turned the key and it fired into life!!! they didnt have enough trans fluid in stock for a full top up so we need to wait untill this time tommorrow to take it for a spin.at $55/ litre for the fluid they only order it as required. we have a couple of very minor issues to work through , resetting the motors for the climate control and fitting a different airbag module .air conditioning is gassed and everything else works perfect and it sounds soooo tough!!!!!! |

Good to hear.
Wish there was night servicing here. Ford dealers have only just started Saturday morning servicing.
