***WARNING - STUPID QUESTIONS AHEAD***
Now I don't have the car yet, I'm gonna start hunting once I get back from my army training and I've got some money.
I'm hoping for an XF Falcon series 2 S pack with the 5 speed manual. It's going to be my first car (well minus a shit box to drive around in while it's being worked on).
I'm planning a respray to jet black or gun metal grey and I want as much of the body done as possible. Now I'm not really up with it on reprays, besides the fact it's gonna cost me an arm and a leg, how much of the body can they respray? I plan on retriming the interior (more on that in a sec) so ripping that out it no worries and I want the engine bay done for sure. might as well get the boot retrimed a matching colour so that can come out.
So with the engine, cabin trim and boot trim out, what will be left unsprayable?
I also find the plastic doors hideous. Solution, Faimont Ghia interior. And I mean the whole interior, dash and all. Should I buy a fairmont and use that or am I likely to find what I need at a wrecker?
I plan on a Black and Royal Blue retrim, is there an XF Ghia dash in black or will I need to do something stupid like painting it? Is there any other dashes that come in black that will fit an XF?
And now the big question, would it just be simpler to buy an XF Fairmont Ghia? What are the differences besides the interior? Am I doing this the hard way? Could I just glue fabric over the plastic?
And any pics of Ghia interiors would be great. And also any XG cluster pics too thanks.
Wow, I really need to stop planning this car down to every detail....
