you need fuel!!!
looked good last night mate. all you need to do is change the light on the roof to blue and it would set it right off!

The dash cluster looks great!
All you have to do now is scrape the orange paint off the back of each gauge needle, repaint with a light coat of liquid paper ...and they'll light up Blue just as nicely as everything else.
Good work man.

not sure yet, im thinking a BA surround for when i convert to manual and painting some of the bits silver or using woodgrain.

Go the woodgrain to match the Ghia idea

saw the car last night. You've done well so far.
saw your post further up and u might be better off with green parkers over blue as blue and reds are emergency colours.

on the weekend i bought colour coded mirrors and AU3 repeaters to give it that more of a Fairmont/XR look
also red strips and a ghia badge i pinched from the wreckers
red strips on the side i bought of Barnsy though
does anyone know how to get that texta/marker stuff off of the mirror?

ghia badges and red stripes dont go
metho should get the texta mark off. just give it a polish after wards. my reccomendation is to remove the ghia and 4.0L badge and just have a tickford badge if you have to have one. also remove hubcaps and dump it

i put ghia ones on until i get XR6 and Ticky ones, just to give it a classy look

Looking nice. I agree about the badges, Ticky for sure. Ditch that 4L badge, something I have been meaning to do as well. However, I reckon the red strip with the Ghia badge looks good!
