did the fairmont or fairlane from 88-94 come with cup holders? if so, can they be put in my xr6?
a couple of my mates have cup holders in their rides and goddamn if it's not the #1 mod on my list at the moment. i always seem to have some kind of beverege and no where to put it, so i always have to bin it. if someone has put aftermarket cup holders [yeh i know it sounds daft] in their ea-ed i'd love to know how. cup holders for the win. |

Mate, thats what you get for takin the auto out....
But nah, seriously, a bit of 100mm sewer pipe with a stop end, and 96x19 wall thickness bradflex slipped inside it urethaned to the door trim works a treat. Another on the console makes both hands happy..... |

Autobarn sell ones that clip to your air-con vents... Get a set of them, some fluffy dice, some neons & checkerplate and you're set!!!

You either want our years of bogan experience or not, Simmo. I shall never offer my opinion again.

He knows us too well...
Anyone ever retrofitted an EL console? Seems like an ideal time to put a proper handbrake in...

Rmyers has done a full EL Ghia interior including dash and handbrake etc into an EA. I think he did it before the move to AFF so you might not find the info on here.

I think the AU console has a better chance and I'm pretty sure I've seen a couple of EA/EBs at the wreckers with it done (although the back was held done with wire hahah).

You COULD do what John_xr6/Kman & I thought up...
Take out the cup on the fairmont console and fibreglass up another one but deeper and designed to hold your large maccas drink. Seemed like a good idea thou none of us CBF doing it :P Oh and greenmachine, if you were not a previous ZH owner, id beat you with the ugly stick for that comment! lol all auto places sell add on junk these days :P

EF/EL cupholders are useless for Macca's/HJ's drinks etc. 375ml cans are the only things that seem to fit in them ok.
