after about 3 months of work i have finally finished my custom body kit for my wagon. i used 2 rear skirts off a sedan to make the rear bar and lengthend a pair of sedan side skirts. this is my 1st try at this and think ford should have releasted a wagon kit like this,or the 1 that cheif did for his car. also i must thank you guys for the ideas and tips i have got off this web site,special mention to the guys and gals that have wagons. any way enough rabbling.

the body kit was off a series 2/3 xr sedan and all i did was lengthend the side skirts,the rear bar was a pain in the butt as it is different shape.the bar took about 250 hours of work. side skirts about 40 hours, thanks for the nice words brad.

Thats a great looking wagon. Well done on the body kit mate, like Brad said, you should look at taking orders.
On a separate note, where did you get your rear spoiler?? I'm looking to get one for my EF wagon and I like the looks of yours. Cheers

If ford made AU XR wagons looking like this they they would have been a good seller id say looks awesome mate kudos.
But a set of AUI 17's would look better then the AUII ones IMHO

Great work, Rob. The rear top spoiler is a really nice touch. What is the process with extending side skirts? I'd like to know how that's done.

excellent. having a wagon myself i find it hard to find a rear bar....as they are very limited in options. i have found a site that does BA GT style rear bars for wagons, so i will be investing in one of them to suit the T kit. well done on doing all the hard work yourself, wish i had the skill and time to do that.
