DarklanDeamon · Post by **DarklanDeamon** » July 12th, 2008, 6:17 pm

Was looking at replacing my dash look with

And using the bright white led globes.

What you guys think? (price asside)

Also are the Dash lights T5's? And the roof light what size festoon globe are the 3?mm.

Can't check right now because i have to pull my dash out to find out if there T5.

i think it would be a little hard to read..
when i get the cash im getting the plain white ones..
just get white ones with a ford or an XR logo on it.

Yeh but there are different ones lIke T5's etc. Are they the same as EF ones? If so i can just get them from ebay as there listed for EF-EL but the guy said they might be the same for my EB-2.

I think they are T10s. Could be wrong, I've only played with EF/L's before.
Search T5 or T10 LED in ebay - you can get 10packs for like $10bux delivered.

whats with the 6 1/2 rears? Put 6x9's in the back, what does your dash look like now?

Kyle the ED4LTR · Post by **Kyle the ED4LTR** » August 3rd, 2008, 9:23 pm

6x9's are useless if you run a sub, which I do, anyway it involves chopping up your parcel shelf which you can get defected for.

and dash is pretty much the same, for now

BillyED · Post by **BillyED** » August 3rd, 2008, 9:28 pm

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

cept 6 1/2" work better in the front imo rather than sitting on your shelf

So how does your dash look without the Blue?

What did you replace it with?

Kyle the ED4LTR · Post by **Kyle the ED4LTR** » August 3rd, 2008, 9:30 pm

i replaced it with original globes, but the whole dashboard is going to have a major facelift, nothing absolutely spectacular but still pretty cool. May have pics for ya in the next few weeks.

BillyED · Post by **BillyED** » August 3rd, 2008, 9:34 pm

Kyle the ED4LTR · Post by **Kyle the ED4LTR** » August 4th, 2008, 8:45 pm

very soon, maybe 2 weeks? Depends on what pace Schmee wants to go at, Nick came around and dropped it off Saturday

EDFalcon · Post by **EDFalcon** » August 4th, 2008, 8:57 pm

Kyle the ED4LTR · September 23rd, 2008, 7:23 pm

well i thought I would give an update, the real work has begun on the car. The car has had the firewall clutch cable hole reinforced and the whole interior ripped out ready to begin.

The car now has 3 pedals and a clutch, just how it should be

And yes the moulds are gone as I am reerting back to my old ones.

Car half pulled apart from the inside

And on the turboblades

Looking good.

with that ride height (last pic) you can join us for the boosted offroad trip....LOL

Kyle the ED4LTR · Post by **Kyle the ED4LTR** » October 1st, 2008, 1:47 pm

I thought I would give another update.

I finished cleaning the Ghia doortrims that I got off a mate, they were camfraser's ones.

And when I was at Jolly's with Kev we found an EB Ghia that had the leather inserts, normal driver side wear but otherwise mint, those were $44

The trims were fairly grubby and dirty so I gave them a wash, after 2 days of drying this is the end result.

(I am aware that the speaker grills and rear ashtrays are not in

)

Dirty Trim

Clean Ones
