Cable ties & half a roll of duct tape.

Now taking bets on how long this holds!

It'll keep any crap out of the system for a bit at least.

Wrecker mate found a used f6 bumper in red with only light paint damage so it should be mint once repainted.

Found a 'excellent condition' bonnet in silver for $350 on eBay, just waiting for a freight price.

. I plan to make it faster than an F6 so I reckon it's worthy of the bumper

No that's gay plus devalues your car and the whole ford turbo scene in general. Keeping it looking normal is way cooler.

If its fast and debadged no one will know.

Won't add much value to the car; but it will help your ego.

All the honies will say "Sweet F6 broooo".

Then treat you to a he@djob; cause you're the man yo!

I'm not trying to add value in any way what so ever. The resale value train left long ago along with the tray, dual battery system, work lights, air compressor, full sound deadening, footwell lights, overkill sized wiring, sound processor, front speakers, 6.5" subs in the rear walls, 12" sub, amps & tablet install. (So far) This is my ute & ain't no one gettin their grubby mitts on her!** I always planned to add all the weight before adding all the power lol

**(unless my life somehow changes and I am forced to grow up)

So iv got a new genuine fpv bumper & replacement bonnet being freighted this week, lower f6 bumper insert, stainless grills & f6 style headlights also inbound.

Now...

The fog lights & fog light surrounds, are they different??? because I cant seem to source or find much info on them.

I'm also looking for a paint code for the dark fangs under the headlights. Google images is showing me a wide range of FG's with different shades of gloss black to light gray.

Otherwise I might even make the fangs the same color as my 50th 19" rims.

Who else has dome this conversion and is there anything else Im missing?
