Hi all,
My name is Col and go by the name of lotus. Have been asking a few questions about EB's lately and I thought I would show why my recent interest. Bought this from an E series member (I think) recently for my partner to use for work and just for both of us to run around the place in.It's an EB2 XR8 manual, lowered, 16X 7.5 rims,Genie headers with a 3" exhaust and of course is Black.It will also help the Klms down on my AU1 XR8 a bit.   At the moment I have it up on stands checking out for any oil leaks and also checking everything to make sure their are no problems to get it back on the road as soon as possible. First item to be attended to was the pedal box, which I must say was a challenging bit of work.Luckly I sort of know my way around a car as I have done all the repairs so far myself which keeps the cost down a fair bit.   The offending pedal box  If you look closely at the weld around the pivot pin for the clutch, you will see the crack (the rusty looking mark around the weld). Had to realign the pivot so that it was in the right position prior to welding.  As it should look! Got a local bloke to weld it up for me as I know my linitations and wanted a good job done.   More to follow!!

Thanks frd_crzer.
I don't know if anything has been done to the motor but when it's on the road again,I'll put it on a dyno and see what numbers it has. Since it's going to be a daily drive I won't be doing too much to it except making it look a bit better than what it is now.Justs needs a bit of TLC and maintance, bit of a polish and should come up pretty good.

That's a great purchase. I've always been impressed with that car but it really needs clear indicators

a nice cheap mod to do is the front indicators to clear and the side indicators on the side guards get AU s3 ones and then that will make it look a lot better

Yea ea_silver_ghia, you are right there and they will be on shortly as well as AU side indicators. Might have to move this to the Builds section if I show what I've done so far. Just thought I would introduce myself to you all first.
Basically a good car (have found no rust so far),and as I've said just needs a good tidy up and a few things repaired.
