A bit of airbrushing doesn't make the car worth that much either.

Sounds like a good package. Just needs a new paint job and it'd be sweet.

RWC i doubt it with the battery not in a vented box regardless of type they must be boxed and vented externally. also not worth the money.

Is it my imagination, or do these women at the Auto Salons cheapen the whole thing. I mean Auto Salons are like that anyway, just look at what he did to a Genuine T-Series. I don't care what anyone says, T-Series are not for self mutilation. He could have bought an XR or a forte and did that to it. Limited Build Cars should not be defaced with Cheap ugly look wheels, Crappy Graphics and Altezza Lights. Leave their appearence stock. Isn't that why you buy a car like that. Performance and factory good looks.
I don't like the car. Purely based on what the car was before he took too it to destroy it. If it was any other AU, then it would look good. But I can't get past the Branding. T-Series. I don't care what people think. He obviously doesn't. You can't do that to a T-Series in pursuit of a $10 trophy. Personal tastes and his car and what ever, its a crime. I am sure people would feel the same if it was a GTHO Phase 3 or a GT40. Shame Shame

Actually looking at the pics again, the very first pic of the girls, they are nice. the ones in the white tops with camo skirts. The other 2, not so much

I agree with Buckie. It would be OK if it was a Forte or even an XR8, but knowing its a genuine T-series car, it just doesnt go down too well. It would look way better stock.

I guess some people love overdoing their cars to the maximum degree... i know i'll NEVER have graphics on my car. But if you asked people at that Auto Salon thing (i've never been) then i'll bet heaps of people love it. Its all taste really. But they also have Lancers and Civics in there... so who are they to ask!
Anyway, yeah, not worth $45,000 because of a big dragon down the side. Each to their own.

He's obviously trying to get his money back. I pity the Fool who buys it. i'd say "respray it Blueprint and let me have my way with those two girls in camo (maybe ones his wife/gf or daughter haha) and you've got a deal..." he'd say yes cos he's desperate for the money and then once it's all done i haven't signed anything and can walk away satisfied while he cries into his pillow at night.

Please ! you would have to get rid of those dragons. It looks like a rice burner wanna be. I'd rather buy a schmick TE stocky and spend the extra money on a six speed and a blower.

Shame shame, I agree with Bucky! Not about the girls though, they are not neccessary.
Why spend so much hard earned moula, only to mess with what was already a beautiful thing? GK

I have spoken to the owner of this car on a couple of occasions out at T&T's at willowbank. He mentioned that a fair amount of the mods were done at minimal cost in return for the vehicle being used for promotional purposes.
The car went reasonably well and the detail in custom paint was impressive but not my thing.

I was just reading about this car today its in June Performance ford mag , but in their story the car does not have the artwork and the owner said he is doing mods in a way that would be easy to revert it back to a stock T series.
 : what happened its looks a lot better with out the art work, but thats my opinion

i wouldn't touch a t-series with anything visually aftermarket, maybe a decent set of bbs's, but not your local tyre shops' weekly special wheel.

I have to ask why.........Some people seam to forget that the potential of these cars becoming a even more rarer down the track then they go and ruin it by throwing rice at a T series.
The way fuel is going in price my dream of owing one is getting weaker.

That is the grosses looking T I have ever seen. IMO he has destroyed a beautiful car. another thing, I can not belive he has swapped his genuine T rim with a set of Cheapies... I would not even give him 20 grand. cos it ould cost at least 10 grand to restore the car back to original condition......

i saw it at autosalon........ and thought it was just a fake with the kit.... walked past it actually.....
what a freak to do that to a T3...absolutley wrecked it.... as mentioned earlier he could have just used an XR8.......or even a forte V8 for that matter.... |
