Benny is the kinda guy to take $2.50 from a car and give it $5 change Good Guy Benny

Yeah; managed to imprint the shift pattern of my old Ford Sierra onto my forehead when i pulled of the shift knob...

This is exactly the video i never knew i wanted, heaps helpful! ..more ford stuff please

This is pretty helpful if I wanted to do this myself at some point in time

Bro, use a steamer on them seats or bolster them out to get them looking tight..

Only started about a month ago and got 49 k already Great job keep it up mate

Bit of a steam will tighten up all the leather and make it look nice. That may not be an issue after a bit of sunshine though.

I work at a seat factory for BMW. So this episode made me really happy. The seats could use some steaming but apart from that it is a great video and interesting content. Keep the good work up Benny.

Benny u need to put the fg-x black pillars and headliner in as well to finish it off!

Thanks for that my drivers seat is the same had the foam for like 3 months I’ll b using this vid to help me sus it over the long weekend thanks Benny

Looking good man. Never been into the modern stuff myself but the urge to Barra turbo something is beginning to get the better of me

You make it look so easy, if i tried to do this my car would catch fire..even if the seats were out.

Doing the seat skins is definitely a good idea

I love Australian cars and videos from Australia! I think I will move from Norway to Australia.

it's so cool that you've putting so much attention into this car, even though it's still just an auto

I've got a original April 2008 FG XR6 with the black cloth seats ..Apart from one of the drivers side bolsters being a little low now they are the most comfortable seats I've ever had ..I had a BA Fairmont Ghia prior to that with full leather and wasn't all that thrilled even though the leather was in incredible condition and quite supple ..I do now need to replace the ZF 6 speed shifter boot and this was really helpful ,,,Thanks...

Benny, consider installing the optional electric adjustable pedals that were optional on the fg g6e. They were standard on my 08 bf fairmont ghia, but they make life so much more more comfortable. The seats where you want it, the wheel also is where you want it, and you move the pedals to suit. It removes any compromises, spirited squirts its mad, long trips, it comfortable as having everything where you want it to be.

Loved all the little tips and things to remember scattered throughout! Really helpful if you want to modify your car in a safe and efficient way.

I’ve just bought a BA tonner, I was thinking of maybe doing an FG front upgrade on it, but I’m not sure how much of it will be bolt on. I love the old pig of a thing, it’s got 500k on the clock but has a BF engine box and diff with 165k on it, and the bloody coldest AC I’ve ever had in a car. I love it. One day I might look for a tub and change it over to a ute, but for now the trayback is much more beneficial as we renovate and landscape.

Very interesting insight into how car seats are trimmed. Never knew they use Velcro to help keep fabric in place. Awesome work Benny !!

Is there anything you CANT do benny? So much amazing hahahaha From trim to turbos, bennys got you!!

Love you're work mechanical stig.

The "hair net" Benny removed is actually there to help slide the headrest cover on.

I’m loving the Barra build been asking mcm to do it for years thanks for pulling through

Thanks for posting extremely helpful hints Now I can do what I always wanted change the interior of my BA falcon Thank you Benny

Benny, ya gotta tell the boys to let us know about this channel! I only found it by accident.

Excellent content. I could watch these all day.

Excellent video! It has given me the confidence to do the drivers seat foam in my BA. Lots of good tips too.

I've pulled the seats out of my car when I first bought it, and it's nice to find money, great video, I always learn something new every time, cheers, 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

"Pretty manky"..... Someone's been watching Peter Anderson!

Nice work Benny. Really like your channel and your style. Nice and laid back and methodical. Only recently watched your drag week adventure. Hope you can do it again sometime. Keep it up, loving your work. Dan, UK

Thanks

Classic Soft Trim in the us makes custom to order seat kits for any car. They've been doing seat kits for dealership cars for a while now. Should give them a looking at

Already got the FPV cluster too. noice

Oh shit it’s the Australian version of Los Santos Benny’s Custom

Hi mate, thank you for the video this was very helpful. Purchased some leather XR seats second hand and found the electrical plugs were different than my stock wiring harness. You showed how easy it was to change the fabrics on the seats and they came up a treat! Cheers, subscribed!

The Falcon's looking flash now with the new front and now the interior

Fixed my seat thanks to this vid my first time doing it have to admit there was sum swearing 🤬 but got there in the end and it’s surprisingly mint thanks Benny

Thanks for the tips Bro 🚘🔩🔧💯

The trimming stig! Nice mate.

Part way through Bennie was changing the seats and I looked at the dash and thought "wouldn't it be great if that was in carbon". Boom, next scene carbon inserts. They look magnificent as opposed to that manky grey plastic. Hope you can get a carbon piece for the central dash around all the button !! It would look complete.

Well done mate always enjoy the journey !

Its still no au falcon series 2 forte wagon

I did my apprenticeship at a Ford dealership, this has cemented a deep hatred of falcons in me. Unfortunately my daily is an xr6 ute, it's torture lol.

Awsome videos on the FG Benny.

10:45 you know moog woulda done it right...

nice one Benny, Just came across your channel (after the recent mcm vid mention ) after many years checking you in the SF and MCM vids, keep it going mate Lekker Benny

Don't forget to cut the bottom of the cup holders. Can fit a large maccas cup then without spilling and getting in the way of the shifter.

My XR50 T ute steering wheel is rough & peeling, gear stick & hand brake boots are flaking off, drivers top & bottom foam sides are flattened and passenger seat just got real bad water damage on the base. But it's a my work rig so would probably meet the same fate in another 6yrs or so, no matter how much I love it 😢

For the icc you can do a kyhan upgrade to series 2 facia (same as fgx) plus tons of goodies like gps Android and blue tooth control

love the stranger things vibe to the music :P

Great video detail information was gold. Can u do a video on removing and fitting the bilker leaver and wiper leaver at controls that sit behide the streeing wheel. Cheers

Can’t wait to see a stereo upgrade on your FG. Also I like to see a BF XT upgrade to a BF Fairmont Ghia interior

I prefer the front on the FG the FGX looks a bit Mondeo-ish.

Wish they sold these utes in the states. I'll import one eventually

You're going to have to wake up earlier than that Benny to fool me with your omg look money gag. The fit out were great to watch otoh nice work!!!

Automotive archeology

Loving the videos Benny!

Daym! I can probably gain back at least 10 bucks out of my seats! I better take them apart and go shopping for lunch!

fg g6et piano black icc surround must be on the cards benny!

Australia's wealthiest car seat!

Good stuff benny, keep up the awesome work

SWEET🙌MUCH LOVE FROM THE STATES

Love the fg stuff mate

My G6ET front seats are really bad. Auto trimmer quoted me $750 a seat, which I think is fair. I'll call ford and see how that goes. Great video mate!

Why did I just watch a “how to” video on changing the interior of a car that will *never* be in North America? And weirder... why did I enjoy it?

Hey Benny, awesome video mate thanks for the content! did you just source the parts straight through a ford dealer? you make it look all too easy!

Good work

Man I wish they sold Falcons in the us. Those are soo damn cool

Probably shouldn't show people where you hide your emergency cash. ;) Nice job, Benny. You make it look easy!

Nice work dude!

After scouring around trying to find the bit size for the steering wheel torx bolt I thought I'd just put the bit size here... It's T50 :)

Went to play their latest video about the Cresta being damaged during shipping, and it's gone and this one started playing instead. Am I failing at the internet, or has it been taken down?

If a guy hits the seat foam with a steamer it will expand back to its original dimensions. Make for a tighter fitting seat cover, and return it close to factory condition... at least for a while longer. Of course it makes the cover installation a bit more challenging, but worth the effort.

What's the reason for using silicon spray before re-constructing the seats?

Love it Benny!

Music choice solid mate

The black metal spring clips in the FG seat swab base are prone to snapping. Ive had to change a few. Interesting to see the FGX uses the 'carbon fibre' inserts like the FG limited Edition. Nice job.

Nice work, looks good

Ben's upholstery works

You should do a black headliner and get the other parts black aswell

Geez Benny is a loud breather

The silicone spray is a nice trick

Love the vidz man would like to see way more videos tho!! Keep up the good work

This series kinda reminds me of my dream build. An XA Coupe with a Landau front and interior.. Could you have pulled them covers any tighter or is there a fixed attaching system from Ford that left them a little saggy? If so, hopefully they will bed in a bit more. Cheers Benny.

Cody's long lost twin

Nice 1 Benny !!

Wish I knew about the silicone spray trick when I was replacing seat trims under warranty.

Who said that 'object' was Macca's?

Do you have a part number for the drivers seat base foam? I wouldn't mind putting a new one in my FG

Glad I found this site. I have a FG G6E and have thought it would look good with a bit of wood trim inside. Can this be done ?

If you use a hair-drier or heat gun to heat the leather and then while its hot rub it with an oven mitt, or thick leather glove, you will be able to remove the all wrinkles and the leather will look/fit a lot better. :)

Why do you use silicon spray?

The bolts behind the dash spear at 8mm

didnt think seats were able to be sort of refurbished like that, learn something new everyday

Handy stuff there Benny. I might use some of that info down the track. Cheers!!

Can’t wait for the icc upgrade; my god is it difficult to replace.

gr8 work m8 looks good

Hey Benny, i've done the seatcovers of the driverside recaro in my clio rs aswell. I noticed you have quit some ripples in the new seat covers for the falcon. I'm sure you know you can remove those with some steam. I had the same issue with my new covers. You probably know this, but incase you didn't...

Hey Benny great video i,m sure i will use it i have a 2012 fg ute it has column auto will be hard to swap out centre seat for normal consul.Do u have a video on this.
