Oops sorry, that was taken in Chew-Mit some time ago. (in Autumn I think).

I'll see if I can dig out a more recent pic.

Time for an update.

Big Al has protection.

This not only stops rust cough, cough, but it also kills geckos.

take those mounting screws out of the ASP unit, and replace them with stainless...
..you wouldn't want to lose it when the screws corrode!!!

Shouldn't have cheaped out. We all know by know if you had at brock polariser none of this would have happened, they give mystical power and handling properties, they stop you ageing, and make you even more attractive. Or something like that. The strut ball thingys are easy to change. The ones on my boat rusted through and a couple from a ba falcon boot were a straight swap and the wrecker gifted them. Geckos are evil.

I'm gunna swap the passenger seat base over with the driver's seat, one day.

There must be a video somewhere showing me how to do it.

Tech Writer: Recognition for the technical writers of AFF - Issue reason: Outstanding work on the FG ICC issues. Technical Contributor: For members who share their technical expertise. - Issue reason: The insane amount of work he has put into the Falcon FG ICC is unbelievable. He has shared everything he has done and made a great deal of it available to us all. He has definitely helped a great deal of us with no personal gains to himself.

Never seen Cav from the waist down?

Seriously though, if it's possible to swap the passenger seat base with the driver's seat - I'm certainly interested! My driver's seat was "delivered" by the dealer with a small tear on the PVC side wall, which I didn't notice for a week, which has only grown in size over 7 years (FGII) and hiding the patch work I did recently in between the centre console would be a breakthrough for me in my opinion.



No-one sits in my passenger seat. I'd like to toss this mattress! (Not showing my side-wall shame in this pic.)
