I will try with my BEM if not work ill just swape it over,i can get my skinny arms up there :-p

I will take heaps of pics,maybe even video,so if i go wrong i can look back and make adjustments :

I was thinking of just getting you to come round and do mine once you've mastered it. You can practise on your own car, once your an expert, I'll let ya do mine.

Good idea. Take some pics. I'll add them to all the other pics I have of your car. :hihi:

If you do go ahead with it Im keen to come over and help/watch. Then we can do my ute too. If you have a hardlid and a nice interior I might pinch that as well? :hihi:

That could work,hardest part now is to find fairmont/dash at a good price.The price of fairmont dashes will sky rocket if everyone is ganna do it ,supply and demend . You have to ask buck naked if i have a nice interior : py:

There should be some decent ones around shortly...
Keep an eye out at the damaged vehicle auctions in Sydney, especially after the recent hail storms: http://www.pickles.com.au/damaged/au...?contentId=799

I have been staring at your avatar for ages because the buldge on the AU with the shaker and tickford sticker looked really familiar, then i realised it was an old forum members car until he sold it, Adam Keen or falkeen, you buy it or just stole the avatar?

Was an awesome looking car.

Cheers

I know the ute you mean,i reckon that would look pretty good with a fairmont dash ? :

Yea i heard that they are awsome seats,feel and look great ! :dr_Evil: But im sure your seats in the ute are good too _2:

[fordon]

I got a head ache!

This is where iam up.

Rang about 11 different ford wreckers and dealers about advice/ installing fairmont dash.
Everyone different answer's and the ford wreckers in sydney are a JOKE!!! No help,no idea,one didnt speek english well,trying to explain what i wanted and told me"no we have no fairmont utes here" No kidding :togo: Other said its not possible to install hang up VERY RUDE :evil3:

One ford dealer said no,other maybe other yes. _

One ford dealer seem good, was looking into it,ring me back...............waiting. :-p He might ring,seem interested 2 help!

One ford person said color BEM's mean nothing,you have to change BEM in ute not same as fairmont,but both are pink.

Got part number rang up anthor ford person and said yes,both XR and fairmont BEM is same.

FTG were good,but dont have a fairmont dash for me :-p Fairmont AU2 very hard to find at wreckers i also discover.

BUT with good and bad advice you can take a bit from it all

I think i got myself a game plan,just need a good dash,when get dash ill pull apart and see how impossible it is lol

Touch wood,shouldnt be as bad as people think.
WE know one smart man here who's done it :
May there be two :

If you get the Fairmont, you could take care of the key issue at the same time.

For this kind of job, personally I'd go grab a banged up AU2/3 mont from the auctions, that way you have every single part required, and you can disassemble yourself and see how everything's meant to be, do the conversion in your ute, and flog off what you don't need.

Have a read. I have a Fairmont dash in my room waiting. Stav and I have had one attempt and will be trying soon.

Can definitely assure you it can be done. Agree with the BEM thing, regardless of colours you will need to change it.

Keep an eye out for a Fairmont (better still a Ghia), take the bits you want, sell the rest, there's your dash and your layout to work from.

I sort of agree,but when i rang ford up to quote the BEM for the XR,on there computer system it came up as the XR has same BEM as the fairmont!
Best way to find out,pull all apart and get jim around,jim beam to help,all be ok
