um, did you scroll all the way down, or just make your judgement based on the top picture?

its got hydraulics, it can be raised up to 4WD height or standard height if necessary. He wouldn't drive it that low. Thats just for presentation.

You're mistaken, they were not available on LTD.

They are aftermarket trim.

looks cool and it looks as if he did it himself which is better.

Those old fairlanes in the early 90's weren't the best looking but a conversion like that makes it worthwhile IMO.

hahaha that is so awesome! I guess hydraulics only suit Yank-style cars and NA-NC Fairlanes would look at home in the USA.

Yeah...in fact when I was over there a few years ago I remember seeing a Ford model almost identical to the NA Fairlane - bootlid and all.

In regards to the job...its a classic but I'd hate to see the interior design of this bloke's house.

Shag pile carpet and velvet curtains no doubt.

like it, ok the boot is a bit over the top, but other wise its great and an original idea.

I really love the NA-NC Fairlane shape, looks like a pimpin 70's cadillac or lincoln (its just the shame interior is a bit dull).
