- Power Window Conversion
- EB GT 17 inch rims
- Full EF Xr6 interior

Inferno may want to sell you some genuine EB GT rims.

Most of the other stuff can be sourced from wreckers.

all the stuff needed for the conversion bar the gt rims could be sourced from any decnt wreckers, better off checking out ford wreckers as they have a better clue on stuff most of the time than the other dero wrecking yards, or try all parts and panel at lonsdale they got some decent stuff going from there website

thnks so much for all the replies it is really helping me out as we all knew the EB was an unfortunate model that suffered some bleak dullness of the early 90's plus the engine was new and the interior of the S pack wasn't exactely too sporty... 1 thing that opened my curiosity could i fit a centre console from an EF in2 an EB even though the power button r in 2 diff places????

Bleak dullness? :jab:

Yes, centre console will fit as it's been done many times before. Not sure how it'll integrate with the EA-D dash, or whether mounting points need to be modified (or brackets put in to match up mounting points, etc)

Power button is easy, it's part of a loom. I'm assuming the button itself could fit the EA-D plug shape. If not, just cut the loom & crimp/solder/tape (lol) the EF/L power button to the existing EA-D loom.

My power button, albeit an EA-D one, is discreetly tucked under the console, near the front of the driver's seat. It's there because I've got a manual console & manual gearboot for my auto. Power button still works fine, but can be a little difficult to find sometimes. All I need to do is attach it to the hidden side with double-sided tape when I can be arsed.
