Boosted Falcon

good for a laugh i reckon...




not sure what to say...

I don't fully understand what is going on here... Using a BA skin with the important parts on an AU still there.
I hope his parent know what he has done to their car.

I cannot wait for a cop to see that. wow. Kudos for trying, but should have really integrated the icc unit. More effort, but it has been done.

lol

That can't be the finished product...

and yet not even a cd player?

you'd think you'd at least upgrade from cassette if your going to all that effort

oh sweet jeesus.....


that dosnt even deserve credit for trying. fcuking moron. so sick of reading his dribble on other forums about 'his' cars.


is that a radar detector sitting on the dash as well?

i'm sure its not finished.
interesting to see what the finished product looks like

Give the poor kid a break! He's taken on the criticism from other members here and is just having a go with "his" cars...

I like how he is working on the AU because the EF is out of action. Probably due to him fucking around with it.

i give him credit for having a go. bit of a job he's got himself into there. i want to see how it turns out.

plenty of talkers on here. im going to do this and that. never do.

I agree. Give the poor bloke a break atleast he is having a go.

My EB's interior looked like arse for a year until I finally sorted out a T5/GT surround for the BA shifter. Let's hope he doesn't leave it looking like that for a year

Well im not going to comment till i see the final product. ,
But does look very weird in that pic

What a lost ****.

eep. Is that a dash conversion or a post car crash picture?

Just to put it into perspective, this is what FourI6 off AFF had in his AU for a while. The ICC wasn't functional but the way the AC controls etc. are integrated into it wasn't a bad job! I quite like it actually, unlike Tony Martin's effort

^^^that one looks good, could install a dvd screen or something where the non working icc is. looks better than a stock ba dash, and heaps better than a au one.

The AU Fairmont / Fairlane dash looks alright though. I reckon it's 20x better than the lower-spec dash.

Some of the AU stuff is still there (tape player is going) as its going to be implemented into the BA ICC... The Clock and aircon controls are only there at the moment looking all shit as im awaiting to get the rest of the BA gear on Wednesday..

I really only started this on Friday arvo and its no-where completion... If you wish, I can always post pics here for your laughs/wtf?'s/kudos etc etc if you wish?

and its my parents car.. both the EF and this AU are, as I have clearly stated. and also its being worked on as its not needed for another month.... It will eventually have a GPS/Touch Screen CD player and climate control implemented into it too...

I will upload more pics at the end of the week with hopefully some progress and it looking half decent.

and that was only just after i got it connected and turned on too Kr1sto..

and also nstg8a, its just a cheap ass speedo as the factory one is stuffed

Please do keep us updated... Interested to see if you can pull it off or not

I think its pretty obvious that its not finished yet...

hows this for a fail... i mean asif its going to run without an intake manifold



oh wait... it wasn't finished in that photo

Thread now delivers

The dash pictured was cam's car off fordmods he put alot of hours work into it and it came up great he bought many bits off me for his car id havta say both inside and out its was a great looking Au... but think top pic headin for bad failure...

hahaha.. ok you got me there John... alot of people don't have a chuckle at an engine conversion though...

I posted it up for a laugh, and I'm sure most have had a chuckle...
I know I've had a few....

I don't see how a Dash Conversion is funny???? I mean yeah, the fact that 'it doesnt have to be driven for a month' and he's taped things in that are gunna be replaced is funny. Not the way I (or most people) would go about doing it but each to thier own.

are we sure its not just a giant vinyl sticker? lol
kinda looks like what hes going for

"You did WHAT to my car son??!"

i cant see it working out, yeah he may finish it but it will look like crap

AU's are BA shells, so shouldn't everything just bolt in? Buggerall modification needed?

Heaterbox /firewall setup is completely different from what I know. It'd probably be just as difficult to put BA shit in an AU, as it would be on an E-Series.

I like how poeple laugh at something when its not finished

trying is the first step toward failure

Still to do:

1. Get all associated parts on Wednesday (listed above)
2. Buy some fiberglass and fiberglass sheet
3. Install and mod it all
4. Install a single din CD player
5. Work on the BA selector gear to work in an AU
6. Work on tiptronic to work in the AU also
7. Check everything in usual conditions it will be subject to
8. Fix anything that may not be right (Speedo and Tacho need replacing, Have digital items to replace them with)
9. Enjoy it

Does this mean he doesnt intend on getting the speedo and tacho needles to move?

I will be using the BA cluster... and i know about the two different data systems aswell.. got some stuff here that i can work off

I seriously hope ths guy gets it done and it looks great, just so the only c**t laughing is him

even if he pulls it off people will still be laughing at him. he's made alot of stupid comments over the time he's been on here. alost banned on a few occasions.

but i would like to see how it looks as a finished product as much as he would.

let us know how the progress goes tony.
