om3n Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 So, I have been browsing the forums for ideas and pointers for a while and so I thought, why not share the results ? It's not much, i have many more mods in mind, but i quite like the way it is turning out ! The Idea was to colour code the Interior, I have replaced the Hand-brake and Gear stick leathers for ones with a blue stitch, almost all LED lights are converted to blue, although now i see that the temperature control could use some different colours to come out right (unfortunately there are 2 LED's that control both the knob and medium heat setting and with these knobs i didn't want to leave it green ). I the phone dock is screwed into the storage compartment along with the usb port and subwoofer gain control. AC vents chrome plated, the hand brake handle is actually an original ford part, i assume its from a higher spec ? I want to fix up the LED's, retrofit Cruise Control, rear automatic windows, auto headlights and wipers and the auto dimming rear view mirror. I also want to fit leather recaro seats from the 5 door st. Thats all for the inside mods so far :P I have had plans for engine swap and body work improvements but it seems less expensive to actually buy a beefier car !

Stoney871 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Lookong very nice indeed. Thought about changing your centre console for the one out of a facelift model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
om3n Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 Yes i was contemplating on adding the arm-rest option, i still have to dampen out the front floors and the roof so aim waiting till i have all the bits so i can do it all at once. I would also love to add that storage compartment on top of the dash, but instead of putting stuff in there, a small lcd display for the reverse camera mod + front bumper sensor display :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tippo0151 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Can you tell me how to do the heater switch blue please Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 The switch has two very small LED on the circuit behind the button face. There is one seller on eBay that does them in blue or red but isn't very cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
om3n Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 I am yet to convert mine, but I have the LEDs already, can post a link later to show you which one, my project is currently on hold as my my mpg has dropped to 17 ;( In my quest to make this car worth while again, I have found some faulty parts; busted knock sensor and thermostat along with a filthy air filter ! I read somewhere that the throttle (air valve ?) gets mucky and needs cleaning, any one ever cleaned one ?
