Fairmonting The Turbo

I still have yet to get my car, but from this forums (and others), I have discovered there is quite a few 'non-standard' options that were not outlined in the Ford brochures as XR options. Most of these are genuine parts that were made especially for the Fairmont, but easily fits the XR range.

I've decided to make a list:

  • Lighted Switches for Power Windows
  • Doorwell Globes
  • Centre Console Analog Clock
  • Upper Boot Carpet Trim
  • Rear Number Plate Chrome Trim
  • Chrome Pinstriping

All of these I believe can be brought from a Ford dealership or somewhere similar.

I will add part numbers, prices and links to pics later, but is there any more?

I know most of these are possible, but come at great expense. For example the pin striping will cost you around $120 for each pinstripe for front and rear if you buy it from Ford.

Things you might not be able to do include the clock on the dash, and the door lights!

As for the Clock.......

I have already pulled mine off and you will find that the plug is EXACTLY the same as the Audio connectors that they sell for Sound cards on P.C.s

(The Cable that connects the CD-Rom Audio Output to the Sound Card)...

I remember seeing information on the web somewhere that had pictures of the plug, the wire colours, and where to hook these wires up....

Cant remember exactly, but its definitely out there somewhere.

Ill try hunting the website down for you.

I just had a quick search on Google, and found this at www.fordmods.com

Have a look at the second picture on the page, it shows the Audio connector thingy that I was talking about earlier....

You can get them from computer shops for a couple of dollars.

The page also has information on how to remove the instrument cluster, and wire up power and Illumination to the Instrument cluster wiring loom.

Looks pretty easy to do yourself if you wanted to give it a try
