Overdue pics as promised, not much to look at from outside, low light flatters the crappy paint haha. Close up of BFii brakes with RDA rotors and QFM pads and ricey blue calipers Drivers side rear quarter had a 20*25cm dent and deep scratch with cracked tail light from the missus backing the FJ into it. Took interior trim out and bashed it out best I could. Almost can't see it in this pic but you can definitely see it in real life.

Seems taxis have gobbled up most of the beige interiors! Only $30 the pair haha(Falcons are so cheap for parts, both of my other cars would be $300+ per door!)

Hopefully nothing comes up at work(possible maintenance shutdown in March) so it gets approved! 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93213-ba-wagon-turbo-conversion-using-ford-parts/page/4/#findComment-1651639 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have the heater pipes from the XR6T(and a whole gates rubber hose pack) but the pipe looks horrendous to change. Once the exhaust etc is off I'm hoping it looks better/easier!

If you need more I'll take some more and post them up. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93213-ba-wagon-turbo-conversion-using-ford-parts/page/4/#findComment-1651662 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ended up getting a hydraulic shop to make me some hoses with banjo fittings because the rubber ones failed like Jet and Puff told me they would...
