BF Fairmont Ghia, ulyimate first car!! :cool:

[hamoudy10]

Thought I would share my first car with you guys. I'm damn proud and couldnt have wished for a cleaner model. It's in lightning strike, on black leather. Only downside is the massive spoiler, but that can be fixed with a DJR bobtail. Here's some pictures.



How I want the back to look


And a custom dash template for a change from that ugly plain black. Territory was my inspiration.

Forgot to add, we picked it up for 13300!!!!!!!!

[xrghiawagon]

Nice.... Bf2 ghia front is in need

[Rollin]

That's not a bad photoshop job there, looks like one of those games where you have to spot the differences.

Your plans look good, definitely ditch the mudflaps though!

[LOW_XR]

fark decent first car man.just dont do shit p plater mods and will be cool!

[Sunboost]

13300 is an awesome price for one of those rigs. Well done.

Just ditch that spoiler ASAP and get a towbar cap, win.

[hamoudy10]

Thanks for the responses, and as for the stupid P Plater mods warning, TRUE! I'm a firm believer that the more simple and understated a car looks, the more attractive it is. The weathershields, mud flaps and towbar cap are happening this weekend. Then then hopefully i'll get a DJR bobtail OR a new bootlid with a force lip. I also have a K&N panel filter ready and I may get a typhoon secondary intake.

Sick looking car mate love it, good price too, payed a mint for my Fairlane . Love the steering wheel too, same as my one, Ruby Mahogany ftw!

[hamoudy10]

Just got this clock face to tie in the clock to the rest of the car, hopefully i'll find a dash template with the same design. Anyone have a template out of a fairlane/ltd?

[hamoudy10]

Turned out my template was no good, so I had a proper look on eBay and found some genuine fairlane fascia's on.
Here's the URL, there are three left:

Love the fairlane facia's, look sick at night aswell

[hamoudy10]

Yeah, I can't wait until they arrive. Anyone have a Fairlane/LTD (preferably LTD) grille that they wouldn't mind parting with for some $?

[superhuS!]

i wouldnt do the fairlaneltd grille. looks poxy as, seen it on a BA ghia going around my area.

Id definately do the BF2 Ghia front. sexiest b series front ever.

[hamoudy10]

I want to tie the rest of the car up with the grille, I don't like the current one because of the black centre. As for the BF2 front, yes I like it, but i'm not a fan of making a car what it's not and don't want to customise it too much too.

[Kyle the ED4LTR]

You can still get them from ford, there about $350 or something from memory though

[hamoudy10]

Oh ok, i'll probably go see if some wrecker has any. Also today I was bored so I decided that the matte rocker cover wasn't to my liking, SO I got out some aluminium foil and degreaser and cleaned some of the surface. Then I got some mother's polish and 1/2 an hour and tonnes of elbow grease later this was the result. I couldn't finish the rest as by back started getting painfull, and it doesn't allow me to bed far enough to reach the sides. It still needs more on that surface but I can't wait to finish it off.
Metal polish used:

After:

This things changed alot next is a mkII front end or a xr front with bulge, twin dumps and some 20" zumbo expose INK's. front end looks shit in comparison lol. needs to sit lower too

[EFFalcon]

Come a fair way!
don't mind the current front, can you get the SR pods and fit them to that front bar?

[hamoudy10]

thanks man. im not sure, if i dont find a good mkii front i might try graft the mkii xr front pods onto it and just get a xr8 bonnet. there's a sr lip made for this front end but its rarer than anything.

[falcon4life]

Piano black ICC <3

[Jake]

This car looks mint, I love it

Even if you kept the front end, it still ties in with the XR skirts


Did you replace your whole ICC to get the black one?

And where are you from? I think I seen you the other day... have no idea where though, Newcastle/maitland/central coast by any chance??

[hamoudy10]

thanks man! i just got a black one and swapped facias.
im from penrith man lol i was up at the central coast in early jan though.

been looking at some fg's lately.. dont know if its worth driving a xr6t with another 18months on greens. dayum p plates

[hamoudy10]

just put some twin 3" black tips on looks tough as i reckon
