$500 seems to be the average price but there's a huge difference between say leather seats from a S1 fairmont to S3 LTD, some have a 6 way power drivers seat, some have I think 12 way drivers with 3 memory and 8 way passenger seat.

I managed to get a whole AU2 Fairmont Ghia interior for 420 which included seats, door trims, leather console lid and thick black carpet.

So take you time and what eBay for a while

Cheers Cam

as far as fairmont ghia's go from memory the AU2 has power seats in all directions including front-back, and the AU3 Ghia has the same with memory function.. Not sure about the AU1, have driven one but forget what it did.

yeah i was talking fairmont ghia wasnt aware of any big difference between s1/2/3 so i might have to check a few out.

fairlane seats would require mods to fit wouldnt they? rears at least, and are the rear door trims the same?

Fairlane seats should fit fine into a sedan....


Door trims are the same between LWB and SWB...

I picked up a complete AU Fairlane black leather interior in great condition for $250 earlier this year on ebay from a well known wrecker in Bayswater.
Modifying the rear seat is not a problem as my brother is an upholsterer.

Luck of the draw really, right place right time.

if you actually look around for a while, eventually a decent priced one will pop up. i picked mine up in absolutely no rips or tears for $300 from a fairmont ghia. i was actually looking for a while but well worth the wait ^_^ just have to be lucky i guess

as for modifiying the fairlane side cushions to fit flush into the falcon, you basically take the leather off the fairlane cushions and wrap it around your old falcon ones and use some cable ties or something to tie the back up so it holds together. did it on my friends car and it looks fantastic

Is the back seat out of the sedan interchangable with the wagon? I'd like to put Ghia seats in the Wag.

Send a pm to xrford.
He put fairlane interior in his wagon ang it turned out looking great.
I do believe there was a little bit of modifying to be done, but nothing too serious..

Thanks mate, it's just a thought that crossed my mind, and thought there would be an easy answer.

I'll look into it properly when/if I get serious about doing it.

So just to confirm the only modification necessary to fit a long wheel base interior into a standard wheel base body is the adjustment of the side panels on the rear seats?
