Sure is. Looks completely original to me. What, did people think they came from the factory with flare-filling monster tyres? Hell no...they came with the flares to homologate them for racing use, and the standard pressed steel "five spokes" were only 6" or 6.5" x14". And yes, even back then they looked "narrow"...but when you're wheeling a 5 liter V8 in a car designed for a four or maybe fix cylinder, looking like a hatchback Torana does, who cared!?

Unfortunately don't have a photo, but on the Monash Fwy atm (the mrs is driving), and just passed an '09 WRX that had giant car-eyelashes on the front headlights.

Seriously one of the more bizarre things I have seen. Definitely an EPIC fail...

Looks pretty good imo.

Front bumper needs to be fixed though.

And why didn't they do a ba front conversion at the same time???

I'd give that wagon points for originality, it doesn't look half bad, and credit to whoever made it for trying something different!

It would look much better with a BA XR front end rather than those appalling AU headlights.

I think the rims are worse than the kit..LOL

If that EB GT is genuine then good on him/her...but with those rims and the bar I doubt its real (could be wrong).

All it needs is some Blue neon lights around the car and you could be mistaken for thinkng it came out of TRON... But actually not too bad - at least the kit appears to fit nicely

That EB GT could look worse! In a country area its a good idea, keep the front bar in the shed nice and clean free of stone chips etc
