Nice car man, something on the mods list is the ol waggs of mine, to have the XR look.

Thinking of BF XR front. These wagons look cool with these mods.

Dash upgrade is definately the go, I did one of these on my ED, looked cool.
I have LED's to spare, I found some 1 watt Blue and 1 watt White LEDS at Dick Smith.
They are really bright and most of all, they have spatial light. Not like the standard LED's that have a 20 o light angle, these have around 110 o light angle.
So they cost about 10 bucks a pop, but a few resistors and bob's ya uncle.
Have to use a slightly heavier type of resistor (wattage), due to the increased current, standard resistors at the right resistance, will heat up quick.
These 1 watt, give off I reckon around 17,000 to 19,000 mcd equivilent.
The most you can buy at the moment is around 16,000 mcd.
But dashes dont light thin light, they like spatial lights.

I wanted to use LED's in the map lights too.

I could see myself in a Citric Acid XR* Wagoon with a 6 Speed Manual rakka rakka rakka.
Well Ford did stop the XR6 / XR8 in the wagon variant back in the ED days.
But nothing stopping a dealer doing, like Holden did the "EFFIGY".
Ford need to put out something like this.

LOL, mustang variant I reckon (for the overall Ford), but the Aussie version maybe a GTHOE variant )))
Man, would rock.
