Its an 1999 Fairmont Ghia *Auto *Leather Interior *Premium Sound *Electric Adjustable Front Seat *Traction Control *VCT Tickford Motor *6 Stacker CD Player Overall condition is Immaculate , one owner (old couple) every service has been done at Ford and has only 163,000 on the clock. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Very nice pick-up Johnny, a perfect base to start from. Gotta love Ghia's with all their fruit, VCT, IRS, leather, Premo sound etc. With usual suspension/exhaust/wheels/kit mods, you'll have a perfect car, luxury and sports together.

Hey mate,
How did you go with the blue interior light? I just realised I have also got a blue one to go with my green. Are you still on the L's? If so when do you get your P's? I'm on my L's until April 29 next year. I've knocked up 130 hrs. Cheerz, |

There only old pictures should put a new picture up with my stickers on it, I'm on my P's now I got them in September. Good luck getting your P's I'm sure you'll have no problem considering you have clocked up 130 hours, I managed 125 hours. Regards John

Had them painted mate, they were orignally on my dad's BA XR6 Turbo and he gave them to me and I had them sprayed black as to have a difference look to the car while still having orignal ford rims.

Well finally we have some progress, its only taken about 6 months or more to purchase but I finally have my TS50 Bodykit. Started to fit it on Sunday to see if it all lines up and its a pretty good match now just waiting on the brackets and than the fun will begin when I start rubbing them down for paint.
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The car should be complete in 2 weeks hopefully all ready for the Numurkah Show n Shine

Haven't fitted in up fully yet still waiting on brackets so when I put it on I'll let you, as to it lining up properly it seemed to be fine but until I do it properly I won't know.
