Belle, The T-56 Ghia

[NudgE^SIKBRO]

The T-56 Ghia in time... Heres a rough photo guide of the build of what is still Australia's ONLY 6 Speed Manual BA Fairmont Ghia.




The day she arived, this was the car that was going to remain stock... IT DID... for about a week!!!




Then I went out one day and got some lowered King Springs, SL front and SSL rear. This brought her down to a more respectable level.


After that I did the 3" steel intake pipe as shown on another forum, no real gain in it I dont think but you know how it goes. I also fitted an XR6 Turbo snorkle and a K&N Filter.


One day I went out and had a cat back zorsty pipe fitted (no pics). On the way home I called passed The Tyre Factory and scored my self a set of Lenso LS-5 19inch rims wrapped in Maxxis MA-Z1 Rubber.




Finally it was worthy of wearing my custom 'SIKBRO' rego plates
.



Next it was time to add some bass and make the most out of the factory premium sound.

Fast forward a couple of years



The auto pedal box, shifter and trans were binned....




in favor of a Manual pedal box, shifter and most importantly a BF Typhoon T-56 Six speed manual conversion.




The stereo was looking a bit dull so I made up some board's and mounted the amp too the boot floor.


The time came to clean the K&N Filter, haha...


As they do, the cat crapped itself...


So I figured a set of 4490's and a Hiflow was in order.


Then of course came the dreadded BA Diff bush collapse...

Theres plenty more done to the car that I can't 'right at this second' find photos of but this gives you a pretty good idea.

Those headers... are they any good?

Looks great with the wheels and lowered.

Falc'man: Im wrapped with the difference between the 4490s and the stock cast manifold. Around the same time I did coils, plugs and all that sorta stuff too so it really finished it all off nicely
