Default EB 2 door Coupe

I know we had a post about the "home made" EA convertible a few months ago.

But check this EB out. Still not something I would drive though :

Yep! I had 2 shells sitting at work back when they were worth something a few months ago! One was a bare shell with only a motor, box and diff, they offered me $300. Held out coz I wanted to remove the cat which were going for about $70 for scrap at the time.

Held out too long, and had to pay to get it taken away in the end! Other's still sitting there!

One was made then given away as the Sony Scorcher, another body was made, and sat around for ages.
I think a guy in sydney now owns it, has a 4lt turbo in it and a orange over white pant job

This line in the eBay ad jumped out and grabbed me:

HAS BEEN SET UP FOR BA 5 LITER MOTOR

Really? That's news to me. I didn't know there was a BA 5 Litre motor.

1 line sums it all up.

"Each to their own"

Ask yourselve's this:

How often have you performed a mod on your ride because someone told you THEY would prefer it that way ?

It's all about what you, the owner want's. Who give's a stuff what everyone else think's.

As long as you are happy with your ride, life is good.

Prove me wrong.

Adam.

It's not just about what you want.

It's about earning street cred as well and you certainly won't get it with that POS.

Same goes for flashing neons and stickers/badges everywhere. Socially unacceptable ;)

&*$% street cred.

Personally,I would never build a ride to please other's.

On the same hand, i wouldn't build anything weird with dragon's for taillight's either !!!

Some people go to extreme's because they want to, it's their expression.

Love it or hate it, we are all individual's expressing ourselve's in our own way.

I have many pet hate's when it come's to car's but if someone execute's a mod that i don't like, i can accept that as i realise the owner wanted it that way.

But really Dave, Neon's !!!
