I didnt know they had them yet : I think they will look absolutly awsome as the front of the lanes will match in perfectly with the bulge. How much did it set you back??? Cant wait for pics!!!

i have a pic, but when i try to upload it says it's too big.

[sednwol]

Put it in photobucket and downsize it.

Who knows but it can be made to fit, as seen on other cars (EF).
Looking at that piccy it doesnt look to bad.
Now i have to save up to get it fitted as my hid 's are first priority.

[HLC]

no. just no. and those rear spoilers really do SPOIL the lines of the 'lane.

[AU-MUSTD]

Love the look of your car with the black lights and ba rims with the white duco but please loose the rear spoiler as it is a "spoiler "and totaly the wrong shape for the boot of the lane. Love the bulge though.

[amiers]

i was trying to get another wing to fit but it was too hard. after seeing the car in the flesh its not as bad as you think. im also going to get rid of the reflector strip on the bottom of the boot and the chrome spears in the tail lights. that makes it look way better. will post a pic from photo shop.


i think i will go with the bulge after seeing it on a fairmont ghia today. i want to make the car something different to a normal fairlane.

[blackers10]

must say minus the wing your car looks awesome!!
the black front end parts really come together nicley!!

[amiers]

thanks Blackers10, iv got used to the wing now. most people are 50/50 with it. im starting on the interior soon done the wheel and gauges. seats and trim to be done in two tone black and grey pleated leather and suede.

after i lowered it i wished i had gone just a little more but i didnt want to lose the ride too much, i think i will drop the rear about another half/ three quarters of an inch. they left the rear up a bit as to allow for gas/petrol load and passengers. but it hasnt settled down to where we thought it would.

now that i have my T grille im going to mesh the original one and see hoe it looks, might help a few other Fairlane owners. will post pic's now iv worked it out!

[blackers10]

i remember at the Sh-boom hotrod meet a few months ago i saw a youngish guy driving a white AU fairlane with pillar mount guages..
was that you???

where abouts in brisbane are you?? im in morayfield..

Amiers, are you coming on the cruise on the weekend? If not, you should

[amiers]

no Blackers10 wasnt me. i wish i was youngish.!!!!!! but unfortunatly im 44 years old. still a hoon at heart though.

just pulled the standard Fairlane grille apart. cut out the chrome bars and sanded the sides smooth. looks like the mesh will sit in there fine. have to work out how to fix it there. not sure whether to use black or silver? if it looks good on the car there might be a tl50 grille for sale!!!!!

[blackers10]

aa ok lol 44 aint that old.. altho thats more than double my age:P im only 20yo

you should definatly come on the cruise up the sunnycoast amiers!!

get some pics up of the grille!! if i was you id goto a mesh supplier and get the better mesh like the TL50 grille has.. as the supercheap mesh just looks.. RUBBISH

good luck

[amiers]

thanks Blackers10, but i feel old when i have to look at my head in the mirror every morning!!!

if you look close at my car i have used the cheap mesh in my grille. i used it first in case i stuffed up,being black you cant really notice. i will post pic's of the standard grille soon. i am going to use the supercheap mesh till i get it right. if it looks good i will get better stuff.

I saw a meteorite grey one on the weekend and it had one of those spolers. It looked good from the side and distance. But up close behind it really doesn't suit it.

I like the silver / white effect on the mouth at the front you have. I photoshopped a bulge onto my car once and I liked it. I think they'd look tough.

I'd like to see Blackers and yourself get together for a photoshoot like I did with T2TL50. They'd be great shots.

Hay amiers I ordered a buldge from AWC. Im going to put it on in the next few weeks probably and will let you know how they go sticking down to the bonnet

[amiers]

duffman, did you buy the whole bonnet or just the bulge?

[blackers10]

duffman has a falcon btw not a lane.. but id say its just the bulge he got

id like to get to a meet with amiers and have some together photos would look pimpin!!
