Default Anyone seen my mate's old EB around?

A friend on facebook is trying to track down an EB he owned about 10 years ago and sold in the Sydney area. Really wants to buy it back if possible.

Rego when he sold it: BIG 805

Photos from a fb post:















His name on fb is John Farag. If you can help out but can't find his profile, feel free to PM me here.

Thanks in advance,
- J.D.

Definitely agree that it was a very nice car - not necessarily modified to my personal tastes but well-modified nonetheless.

I believe the bodykit is a "Scorcher" kit but I don't know much at all about E series aftermarket bodykits. Apparently those Scorcher kits are sought after as the manufacturer/designer destroyed the moulds after he went bust.

Was never a fan of the Scorcher EA, nor the bodykit itself but to each their own. The Ford/tickford offered E series bodykits look the best.

I think in comparison the green one above looks far better executed than the Scorcher - quadlights up front etc.

Nice looking box car that is/was.

I always thought the Dick Johnson kit was the best looking EA-ED bodykit.

His is the most attractive aftermarket option imo.

They're very unique and look like they're built strong.
