Default EF Fairmont Grille
Hey guys,

I posted in the wanted section, but only 3 people veiwed the thread... sadly they were all me :P

Anyway, I thought I'd try my luck here...

Does anyone have a EF Fairmont Grille, in cardinal red that they would like to sell, or maybe even swap for my NF chrome grille??
I want to build a FBT style grille

Thanks!

Hey can you post up a bigger pic of the front of your car so I can see what the NF Chrome Grille Looks like on your car?

If its an EF than it'd be cardinal... IIRC regency wasn't released until EL.

IS Jolly's like pick-a-part, DIY wrecker? If so, i'd check it out, only a few hours to drive there :P

Even if you don't find one in cardinal red it'll cost $100 tops to get it freshly resprayed. I had my side repeaters resprayed for $50 when i went from the amber to clear side indicators - admitantly that was 5 years ago.

I think he meens the moulds/trim were resprayed as the moulds/trims have to be replaced if you use the std high series ford clear side repeaters........

The mould/trim where the side repeater snaps/fits into......

If you get the 'custom' ones its just a matter of remove the yellow ones and replace with the clear ones...

Sorry mate, just trying to show that it won't be to expensive to get the grille resprayed if he was to get one in another colour. I was using my side repeaters as an example.

Thanks, its my intention to build what I thought the FBT should have been... I'd also like to find a tickford bodykit, as the fairmont uses the same front bar, and wagon side skirts... and something custom for the rear bar...

If i can find some EB GT's, id be happy... EL GTs are just too common!
