After a long look and missing out on heaps due to lack of funds, I have finally got myself a new steering wheel to replace the current one.

Now the mission of getting the right colour airbag :S.

I think I got to keep this thread updated im getting slack.

Nice score on that wheel!

Interior looks good, just need to put the missing plugs/caps in the arm rests/grab handles on the door trims - stuff like that always stands out so much to me.

Yeh it's in the works but I do agree though, just time of finding replacements.

Yup

Cheers mate, courtesy of the eBay listing that SnyperEB sent me. Harvested the doorcards for the woodgrain and sold the seats.

Found some pics that I forgot to put up, some are a couple of months old.

Sump swap for EL K-Frame:


Old Tickford AU Cam, out with the old and......


In with the new, Wade 1645au(AU 977b grind).


After a trip to the FPR Night I came back with this:


And finally at the drags:


Thanks for the last pic Steve.

Then while my Fairlane was borrowing the 18's, the ED looked like this for a little bit:

I reckon it looks great on the lane rims mate!!!

Agreed!

Not too keen on the airbag cover signed. Its good if the driver is staying with Ford, but looks like arse when they swap so much!

yes you do! you gotta stop blowing shit up! lol

just a curious question? why did you fit the EL sump??? I think they are the same? cause i just fitted a EL sump to my EB cause it was cleaner when i had the motor out and dropped it straight back into the EB k frame??

Car had an EL K Frame fitted requiring the modified sump

have you had the cam tuned?

travs ea-xr6 wrote:have you had the cam tuned?

yeh mate, ran 141rwkw, stock tickford motor besides the cam

Any Updates mate and hows the defect goin? Has it been cleared yet...

Well I guess it's time for an update, the defect that I copped will be getting cleared tomorrow now that it is now roadworthy. Played with the timing on the new motor so that it runs a lot better till I put the cam back in and get the tune redone. Managed to get hold of a nice Concorde interior which has now finished it off and looks the way I like it. Will post some pics up tomorrow when iv'e cleaned up the interior.


Kyle

did u grab the one from Jolly's?

Hope not the front seats were cactus.

think their the ones off the concorde that another boosted member got the wheels off in clayton

Yeh I grabbed the one's out of that Concorde at Fairmonts Gear, also got a proper black airbag for the steering wheel too .

I saw the ones at Jolly's they were molested something harsh.

Love this car, mine gonna look the same, but with el cappa interior.. and a body kit

How much they set you back?

Owning a concorde is where its at

Cheers Boxcar . I got the complete interior for $300.

Nice so are you bringing this out to the drag day

Was thinking the same thing as its now running a non xr6 engine.
But so am i and im getting good power and will also be at the drag day.

That's cheap. In good nick?

That's cheap. In good nick?

what did you get defected for??

Yeh was in pretty decent nick, just the usual wear marks on the drivers seat n that. I'm gonna refit my cam and speak to Paul about a retune, this motor seems to go a bit harder than my old one which is always a positive. Got all the roadworthy done today but was too late to get to VicRoads so i'll have to wait till Monday to get the canary officially lifted

Out of curiosity when is the next drag day i'll make sure i'm there, need to set a new PB .

I got defected for wheel's being too big and the diff being out of alignment, now fixed with brand new trailing arms and bushes, handles a shit load nicer too.

lol, how did they pick diff out of alignment, talk about being anal, all Fords have an offset diff anyway, unless yours was really bad

Kyles Dyno run at CVE 134.1 which took out 1st place with the J3 N/A 6cyl class

i just read this thread from first to last and i'm impressed, at the beginning i was thinking 'yep, first car, here comes teh neonz, stickers, makita superlows and shitty 16's' but wow, you get an idea and you act, i wish i was half as motivated as you.. my first car still hasn't got a new engine aha

can't wait to see the 5L in it
