Yep considering the amount of modded cars i think a handbrake cable is the least hurdle to combat lol

Was thinking getting new brake lines made up and just attach front xe cable to ef cable hopefully it'll be all good 

Driveshaft is xr6 sedan EF 

Yeah i thought that was the case, might try and case a good original one down and ad spacer

motor looks like a good buy sounded pretty good, no matter what you buy your always going to do something to it to improve it or to your liking anyways

turned out brilliant

all good found a DIY http://www.ozfalcon.com.au/index.php?/topic/291-diy-how-to-i-fit-ed-seats-into-and-xe/

I spent $10k Including top shelf materials and my mate who has his own paint shop did the job with me helping him for 5 days all up just sanding etc ,  with mates rates took 200hrs all up in labour bare metal respray, but if I went with other quotes I'd have no change from $18k including materials, I was lucky to get outta it for $10k and it turned out mint but on average most paint jobs you can easily spend $15k on average.
 
one thing I found getting quotes from shops, they wanted the job from start to finish panel work, priming, repairs etc they wouldn't give any guarantee or warranty as they don't know what's been done under the primer etc , as I had a few panels already done on my car so even when my mate sprayed it all the work I did came off and it was redone again by him, Most shops and painters like piece of mind its done RIGHT. you may find somewhere that is willing to just paint it but they may say any issues if they arise we will be waived of all responsibility just get quotes and do your homework mate. hope this helps

ok guys I spent the arvo degreasing and lubing the mechanisms and ive found the the door handle rod and rod to striker is stretched as soon as I pulle don it passed the slack theyd open so new rods with fencing wire next week

I got mine from Knox to, I got the loop and the fit (test only) is great.
 
Only took about fours days to arrive and I'm in NZ.

I got carpet for Lucy and Ephie. It was the super plush pile. I fitted Lucy's and it went in great. Yet to do the XE.
 
I got in Melboune i think from Knox.

My upholsterer supplied the carpet for Project Goldie,
Its something that you would find in late model cars of today.
It's glued down and follows the contours of my floor so well.
Was a little more costly but looks and feels so good
and its what i wanted so didn't mind forking out for it.
Contact an upholsterer and speak with them,
food for thought.

Yes 10-24 or 3/16 UNC . all same

For the price of a new front screen installed there's no way I'd pull and refit an old one in a freshly painted car. A new windscreen looks a million times better and lifts the whole appearance of the car.
