ok guys, havnt been able to get much done lately because of the weather and being busy..

I managed to get the plastic trim around the sunroof painted last weekend as it was looking a bit faded.. this is how it looked before



first thing was to mask up around the sunroof, then i gave the trim a rub with some 600 grit, then a clean with prep wash..



then i sprayed it with some moto spray satin black, i gave it around 7 coats as it was soaking up the paint.. i opened the sunroof twice to make sure it wouldnt stick from the paint, and yeah all good..



and this is how it looks now.. ive saved up some money so i will order my personalized plates this week.. thanks for looking

I will put up some more info and pics in the ''cars for sale'' section when i get a chance..

[Liam0123]

did ya sell this thing mate?

[RYNSXR]

yes, sold it 2 months ago on ebay and got what i wanted for it.. i will never sell a car on ebay again, the amount of sh*t offers, phone calls, and messages from tight ass time wasting ebay scumbags was unbelievable.... never again!

[Liam0123]

I know how you feel, glad you got the right price for it. Mint xr!

[R31 Mark]

ive been after a sticker for my back window and was after something simple.. i bought some tickford stickers on ebay and put one on today.. forgot to mention in my first post that ive polished the boot garnish with plastic polish and painted the silver around the number plate the same colour as it was faded..

thanks for looking..

Hi Mate

Lovely car you had Just wondering if you still remember what paint you used to do the ED boot garnish in silver? as I currently have an EB garnish on my ED and I would like to add the silver bit to it You wouldn't possibly remember what kind of paint it was would you?


Cheers

Okay mate all good and thankyou, wow that is a really MINT example of a Fairmont Ghia! lucky bloke you are, take good care of it mate

[Rollin]

That is GORGEOUS!

[RYNSXR]

Thanks guys, im very happy with it and its in good hands :-) I have the full history of the car which is good to have. I also wrote a letter to ford Australia and i have received a build sheet for the car to confirm its history and i also bought a EB Fairmont ghia brochure on ebay, i thought that would be nice to have.. The brochure also came with the colour range chart and also the specifications / options chart.

maybe the module in the engine bay having vacuum issues? Would be one of the possibilities. Bit of a hard one with them

[apoc]

Sounds like what my EB was doing. Have a look under the dash, some falcons had cruise added after the loom was made, mine was factory ford cruise installed with scotch clips
PLayed around with the wires and it came good. Also check your brake switch.

The fault with mine was in the bunch of wires under the steering column.

[RYNSXR]

Thanks for the replies guys. Ill have a look at it this weekend. Hey apoc what do you mean by brake switch ? Also isn't the cruise control unit mounted under the centre console storage bin ? I can hear something clicking when i press the cruise control button on an off

[Sunboost]

You may have an issue with the steering wheel buttons or the contacts. Pull them out give the contacts a clean and maybe even pull the steering wheel and clean those as well.

[RYNSXR]

Thanks sunboost ill give that a try when i get a chance.

[apoc]

The old EA-ED type has 3 parts, the electrics under the centre console, the vacuum canister in the passenger side of the engine bay (behind washer bottle I think?) and the vacuum unit which controls the throttle, opposite the other bit on the drivers side of the engine bay. From memory anyway, been a while.

[apoc]

Theres a brake switch in the pedal to turn the cruise off, if its playing up it could be causing issues
