- custom and complete el XR8 series2 front bar, bonnet, head lights & indicators (standard front bar with the badge area removed from the grill and also the lower mouth opening was enlared plus it has modified ghia front bar strips easily removed to put in red ones)

you will get around $1,000 for that

- full cuppachino leather and wood grain interior complete and in good condition

if it was grey you wpuld be on a winner but capa is a bit hard to sell

16x7 el series2 tickford xr8 wheels x5 4 with brand new tyres and one very good spare tyre

$500 plus on ebay - these go for some insane amounts sometimes

- clear side indicators

if they are RATMANS ones then $100 plus on eBay

If its got a 3.45LSD then $250 plus

If the trim is LTD trim I will take it, clutching at straws seen as those you have a Fairlane but you never know lol.

well the car is actually has nothing wrong all panels are straight and rust free except for the sils and a few small wear and tear marks from sand blasting underneath (country car) but i am not interested in reparing the rust in the sils as the car is 11 years old.

i would rather just look into spending my money on a newer car than chasing panels that are obsolete from ford for an older car and besides as i said before i dont have a lot of time to do this my self as i work off shore and interstate.

as for photos ill try and get some on the weekend if that helps

Neither did I from the looks of it!

Still given that you're quoting terminal sill rust, meaning it's probably elsewhere as well, I can't see it fetching much.

You will definitely get more parting it, but it's an absolute pain, and drags on for months - trust me!

Haha it took 2-3 months for me to get rid of my wreck.

Great learning experience, but terrible thing to do over and over.
