-3.45LSD
-5spd conversion (80% complete)
-Put in EL Dash, and EL XR6 seats and door trims.
-Whacked opn a broad band manifold
-Thrown in a set of AU thermo fans.
-And rewired the car usoing a EF Fairmont Ghia wiring loom (body and engine bay)
-Color coded the side moldings
-Swapped the rear springs from EL XR6 to Kings lows(sits slightly lower, and not as bouncy)
- El steering rack , steering wheel and cruise control.
and a few little piddly bits :)
So far so good, cant wait to get it 100% again.
Much thanks to go to Alex (mongrel EB) who has done most of the work, also pauli, and sketch for there help, and silver bullet for coming and drinking with us around the camp fire

The seats go in pretty easy
Rears just a straight swap,
fronts u have to kinda force the legs across into place and bolt it down. Nothin serious, just can be bit tricky. Once u get the end of the bolt in everythins sweet.
As for the side moldings, thin double sisded tape was used, placed around, and in between the silicon that was aready there :)
Interrior pics are coming as soonas i get the interior detailed. Lil bit dirty atm, and i have to bolt everything down properly. :)
