Are you sure about the door locks and immobilising itself. When I built my 540(BF ll doner car) the car was started and driven without the door harness and door latches plugged into the main loom.
Using the door latch is a good idea although they do take a bit of room and will be a tight fit in an AC door.

You will need all the computers ( air con, abs, body computer, air bag)plugged into the loom to get the car to started. There is a company in WA (http://www.norcom.net.au/~bpt/index.htm)that can disable all the unwanted computers if required.

You don't need to have all the accessories, if you can work out how to rewire the CANBUS system, as I did, but you do need the BEM unless you reflash the PCM. I wanted the key and the immobilisation from the Falcon, so at this stage I'm keeping the locks and therefore the BEM. I'm still deciding on the ABS, I don't have an ABS Jag set up so theres a bit of work in the machining of some parts to make it work. In regards to the door locks, the car was ok until i took the drivers door off but left the passenger door on, it then immobilised itself permentaly and I needed to call the Ford guy to my house and get him to dial into Ford US to unlock it. Cost me a slab of Bourbon!

Thanks for the offer of the Ford rep, but I might just work in the Ford plant, and have access to the fellow who makes all this stuff work

The one unanswered question I do have is if i dont run the BF Dash how do i get a engine warning light to function as per the ADR....... Got any good ideas?
