Blah, my car's interiour is phisically fine.
But it's the dash colour! It's like a tan colour (which I rather than grey) but I can't find any tan bits and pieces from wreakers to match it :/ Did ford only produce the early EF fairmonts with tanned dash and accessories? Or is my car just retarded :P I went and bought an ashtray and a interiour light today (both of mine were broken...) and I didn't think about the grey until I put them in the car lmao, I managed to mount my old EF's broken ashtray's front to the new surround, and it's swheet. But that reading lamp was beyond help :P So I'm going to take it back and hopefully eaither a) get a tan one, or b) get my money back. Can I order EF Fairmont parts new from ford in the Tan colour? Or am I forced to run around to multiple wreakers? Cheers |

Sould be able to, manufacturers must stock parts for their cars for at least 10 years. The EFs finished in 96 so you have a very good chance... Goodluck with the costing...

You should be able to get most parts form Ford but be prepared to pay a bit of dosh!

The tan parts you are refering to are known as "cappa" or capachino (*sp)
There are wreckers about that have Cappa interior bits. Ive seen it around

For what it's worth, it works both ways. I was wrecking a cappuccino EL but many perfectly good parts went to waste because demand for that colour is so low.

I tried to get the seat adjuster wheel for my 96 EL but the dealer said 'no longer available', had to source one from the wreckers!.

I have a Fairmont EL, I have "cappuccino" top (like the dash and top half of the doors) and a grey colour on the bottom half and the centre consol bottom, but the lid to the consol and the glove box are cappaccino colour
