I've gone and bought myself another Eseries. I don't know what to do with it now.. Either wreck it now, fix and put on the road or fix now wreck later.
The plan was to buy it for parts for the Sprint, but it's sooo tempting to fix. It sounds awesome. Here she is..  Obvious faults are: -Front bar -Steering column -Over heats -Low breaks This is with out a thorough check. She is a XR8 with Some Sprint parts and some Ghia bit's too.  Minor rear damage

Gee. How many does that make now? It looks like it doesn't need too much work. The bumper is an easy fix. Surely there'll be a white one at Jollys. At least the chassis rails and rad support are all straight. I reckon you can tidy it up, but it also depends on whether you need another daily. You already have the Vitara, don't you?

is it auto or manual buddy?
Coz if it is a manual i would be interested in a manual conversion, that is the bits that would fit a EF

It started as an EBXR8
Then it was mocked up to look like a ED Sprint. Then it was stolen with all the good gear removed. Then it was bought back to it's current form with Fairmont stuff.

Kill it, its more fun that way.
It looks a bit shabby IMO, not quite worth the effort to fix up. But if you think you can make more from it by repairing then go for it.

If it were just a new front bar and a cut back of the paint I'd say fix it up and sell it for profit. But it looks like the rear guard needs a bit of body work. I'd part it out.

This was on ebay a few weeks back yeah? Good pick up.
Looking at the general condition, I'd say paddock bash it and then strip it!

Id say use it as a donor car for the sprint and sell off what ever is left over. You have got a lot of goodies there eg V8, monty interior also looks like a big exhaust to.

Only the tail pipe is that big.
The exhaust is dual 2 inch, I'm thinking of getting it on the road until the Sprint needs the loom and/or motor and strip it then.
